Choirul Huda, the keeper for Indonesian soccer team Persela FC, collided brutally with teammate Ramon Rodrigues while rushing forward on a ball in the 18-yard box. The collision left both players hurt, but Huda took the collision to his upper body—Rodrigues’s knee seems to drive Huda’s arm violently into the side of his head, and Huda is driven hard into the pitch. Huda’s condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was carried from the field and taken to the hospital, where he died early this morning.

It was a bad, bad night for the United States of America – as President Donald Trump would probably have put it. For the first time since 1986 the country’s national men’s side failed to qualify for the World Cup. Heading into their final qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday night, the USA simply had to avoid losing or else their fate would be out of their hands.

The stunning defeat, combined with wins by Honduras and Panama, meant the U.S. will not participate in the Cup finals for the first time since 1986.

American football is essentially a game played by black men for the entertainment of white men, but fans are switching off.

Luciano Minuzzi had finished his very precise and very complicated analyses of brain scans from dozens of retired CFL football players and healthy volunteer subjects. Now it was time to look at the results. As Minuzzi performed his calculations, he was blind to the subject’s identity — a key part of the scientific process. He didn’t know if he was examining the brain of a retired player or a control subject.

Summer spending across English Premier League football clubs has been jaw-dropping.

For years some FIFA players have suspected the game of cheating. They believe that buried somewhere deep within FIFA's code is secret scripting that helps players out if they're losing or makes the game harder when they're winning. It's a belief fuelled by frustrating goalkeeper parries that lead to tap-ins, top quality strikers missing open goals and dramatic last-minute equalisers suffered after you've dominated a game. The FIFA community calls this alleged scripting "momentum" - and players want EA to own up.

A former Swiss banker has admitted paying millions of dollars in bribes to Julio Grondona, a former senior executive at Fifa, chairman of football’s world governing body’s finance committee and president of the Argentinian football association.

Saudi Arabia’s national football team have been criticised for failing to observe a minute’s silence held before Thursday’s match against Australia in Adelaide. The Socceroos lined up in the centre of the pitch before the World Cup qualifier and held the brief silence as a tribute to the two Australians killed in the terrorist attack in London at the weekend. As they did so, the Saudi Arabia team continued jogging, passing the ball between each other and taking their positions on the field.

EA Sports has made a class gesture by giving all FIFA 17 Ultimate Team players the kit and badge of Chapecoense, to pay tribute to the Brazilian side following the tragic plane crash on its way to the biggest match in the clubs history. FIFA 17 is encouraging players to wear the Chapecoense kit and crest in-game to show solidarity with the victims of the incident which claimed Seventy-one lives.

A chartered plane carrying the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense crashed in Colombia near the city of Medellín on Tuesday morning.

A plane transporting a Brazilian football team to Medellin's international airport in Colombia crashed overnight, officials have confirmed.

Mexico came to Columbus to make history and a statement Friday. And it accomplished both, rallying for a 2-1 victory over the U.S. in a World Cup qualifier. The win was Mexico’s first in five games in cozy — and chilly — Mapfre Stadium, a bandbox the U.S. has dubbed a fortress after going unbeaten in 10 games here. But it was a fortress Mexico finally breached behind a first-half goal from Miguel Layun and a header from captain Rafa Marquez with a minute left in regulation time.

The England and Scotland football teams will wear black armbands with poppies on when they meet on Armistice Day at Wembley, after their respective associations said they would defy any attempt by Fifa to ban them. An increasingly febrile day of debate over the issue, including the prime minister, Theresa May, telling parliament that Fifa’s stance was “utterly outrageous” and football’s world governing body making it clear that it would not acquiesce, ended with both FAs making it clear that they planned to wear the symbol.

The international footballer Ched Evans has been found not guilty at his retrial of raping a 19-year-old waitress in a hotel room after a drunken night out with former club-mates. Evans spent two and a half years in prison for rape but his original conviction was quashed by the appeal court following a high-profile and well-funded campaign by family and friends that included the offer of a £50,000 reward for information leading to his acquittal.

Sparta Prague have sent two players to train with the women’s team after they told a female assistant referee to stay in the kitchen. Lukas Vacha and Tomas Koubek were condemned by the Czech FA chairman and their club appointed them as ambassadors of the women’s team following comments they made against the assistant referee Lucie Ratajova last weekend. Ratajova failed to notice a clear offside as Sparta lost a 3-2 lead in the 92nd minute against Zbrojovka Brno following a goal by Alois Hycka last Sunday.
