Barcelona 4-2 Leicester: Ahmed Musa scores twice but Foxes come unstuck in Stockholm

Leicester staged an Ahmed Musa-inspired comeback in the second half but were eventually out-gunned by Barcelona in their final pre-season friendly in Stockholm.

A Luis Suarez strike sandwiched between two excellent Munir finishes gave the La Liga champions a 3-0 half-time lead and 17-year-old substitute Rafa Mujica sealed the 4-2 victory after two excellent strikes from Leicester's new Nigerian striker.

But while Leicester go into their competitive season opener off the back of shipping eight goals in two games there were certainly some promising signs for Claudio Ranieri .

This NFL Player Had An Adorably Terrifying The Walking Dead-Themed Wedding — Watch The Cute Video!

'Til death by zombie do them part.

The Walking Dead may be known for forcing its characters to attend a lot of funerals… but we're happy to say the show is now responsible for at least one wedding!

No, Glenn and Maggie didn't officially have a service off-camera — in actuality, a professional football player just tied the knot with a zombie-themed ceremony.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams and his new bride,Risalyn Williams, ran down the aisle over the weekend surrounded by zombified versions of their bridal party!

Apparently, the NFLer is a big fan of the AMC drama and originally wanted to do zombie-themed engagement photos, but since he was in the middle of his sports season a few months ago, DeAngelo and Risalyn decided to save the horror for their actual wedding day.

But if your invitation somehow got lost in the mail… De teamed up with ESPN to document the entire thing, and even gushed to the sports outlet about the big day, saying:

"It is a dream come true! What makes it even more magical is not only did I become a walker, I became a husband."

That's the cutest thing we've heard all day!

How to fix all of your sleep problems with science

It seems like it's getting harder and harder to get a good night's sleep.

A myriad of distractions are constantly in cahoots to keep you from getting enough shut-eye.

We're supposed to get seven to nine hours of sleep, but many Americans don't hit that target every night.

Sleep can provide incredible health benefits — from helping us lose weight to improving our memories, and even making us happier.

So when you're lying in bed with one of these nine common sleep problems, here's what the science says you should do:

Strategically placing pillows is a good way to relieve all sorts of pain. If you wake up with a sore shoulder, try hugging your pillow when you’re going to sleep.

Iggy Azalea Talks Adam Lambert, ‘X Factor’ & Her French Montana Collab

Iggy Azalea has a habit of spilling the tea during red carpet interviews and she came through with a couple of juicy tidbits at Maxim’s Hot 100 party on Saturday night (July 30). The Australian rapper started by opening up about judging styles on X Factor Australia. “I’m the nice one,” she told E! News. “I thought that I would be the mean one, but Adam [Lambert] is so spicy. He really tells it how it is. I think I’m pretty meek compared to him.” As for her new music?

Donald Trump is getting slammed by billionaires with way more money than him

Mark Cuban on Saturday during a campaign event, and Warren Buffett on Monday.

Clinton is campaigning with the ultrarich for two reasons:

1. These three men can make the case, more credibly than almost anyone else, that Donald Trump is a bad businessman.
2. It drives Donald Trump crazy to be criticized by people with more money than him.

Unlike Trump, Clinton's billionaires are self-made. Cuban has particular authority when he mocks Trump for having to "ask daddy for a small loan of a million dollars" when he started his career — and when he calls Trump a "jagoff."

Bloomberg, who has four times as much wealth as Trump claims to have, was especially cutting last Wednesday at the convention:

Lady GaGa bared it all in a sheer black pocket tee on her way out of a recording studio in New York Monday night.

The singer/actress got lucky that the pocket on her t-shirt covered her left breast, but her right one was out there for all to see!

Memphis Police have released video of two suspects accused of stealing a BMW and then using the victim's iPhone to record themselves during the act. The teens were having the time of their lives. "We have people around here who don't understand you're supposed to work for what you want. Santa Claus ain't real," said Roy Grady. Grady's wife, Joyce, borrowed the silver BMW from her boss after her car broke down and was in the shop. She was low on gas and asked her son to head to the Marathon Gas Station in the 3100 block of South Mendenhall. The son said when he hopped out of the car, the two teens hopped in and took off. "It has disrupted my whole life, why whole way of being," said Joyce. As the teens were using the phone left inside the car, their video popped up on the family's computer. Witnesses said the teens hang out in the area and they have been spotted in the silver BMW on the same street, event at the same gas station where it was taken. The family is begging us all to take a long look at them and do the right thing. Posted By PSmooth

2016 Rio Olympics date and everything you need to know about the games

The 2016 Rio Olympics are just a week away, so whether you like it or not the bulk of the sports conversation will shift to the games over the next couple of weeks.

If you're like most Americans you haven't thought about the Olympics in four years, so you might be a little lost right now.

Don't panic. We're here to help.

Here is a quick cheat sheet to Rio that will help you sound like you know what you're talking about at the water cooler, during an Olympics party or when you're trolling the athletes on social media.

Olympic hurdler was robbed in the most disgusting way on his first night in Rio

With just a few days left until the start of the 2016 Rio Olympics, there have been plenty of stories of athletes being robbed.

This crime, however, might be the most disturbing yet.

Last week, Chinese hurdler Shi Dongpeng arrived in Rio de Janeiro with a cameraman around 10:30 p.m. and headed to their hotel. Then something very strange happened.

According to AIPS, a man appearing to be drunk rushed towards Shi and vomited on him before running out of the hotel.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, while his girlfriend was taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd by ambulance, Her injuries were described as serious and life changing.  

The 42 year-old male driver of the van was taken to the same hospital with what were believed to be minor injuries.

Draper was also placed on the sex offender register for life and was given a Sexual Offences Prevention Order to stop him approaching the victim.

Mr Draper's parents have paid tribute to their son in a statement which said: 'Both Hilary and David Draper, and his brother Joshua are deeply saddened at the loss of our loving son Ryan who was tragically and suddenly taken from us.

BREAKING NEWS: One of world’s most wanted suspected criminals arrested in Nigeria

The head of an international criminal network behind thousands of online frauds has been arrested in a joint operation by INTERPOL and the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

The 40-year-old Nigerian national, known as ‘Mike’, is believed to be behind scams totalling more than USD 60 million involving hundreds of victims worldwide.

In one case, a target was conned into paying out USD 15.4 million.

The network compromised email accounts of small to medium businesses around the world including in Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Romania, South Africa, Thailand and the US, with the financial victims mainly other companies dealing with these compromised accounts.

Heading a network of at least 40 individuals across Nigeria, Malaysia and South Africa which both provided malware and carried out the frauds, the alleged mastermind also had money laundering contacts in China, Europe and the US who provided bank account details for the illicit cash flow.

Following his arrest in Port Harcourt in southern Nigeria, a forensic examination of devices seized by the EFCC showed he had been involved in a range of criminal activities including business e-mail compromise (BEC) and romance scams.

The main two types of scam run by the 40-year-old targeted businesses were payment diversion fraud – where a supplier’s email would be compromised and fake messages would then be sent to the buyer with instructions for payment to a bank account under the criminal’s control – and ‘CEO fraud’.

Mark Cuban calls Donald Trump a 'jagoff,' says he's voting for Hillary Clinton

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton toured the U.S. Rust Belt on Saturday, promising to reject bad international trade deals during a factory visit and securing the endorsement of investor Mark Cuban at a Pittsburgh rally.

The Dallas Mavericks owner, who said as recently as last month that there was a "good chance" he would vote for Donald Trump, instead criticized the Republican nominee's leadership in front of an energetic crowd.

"Leadership is not yelling and screaming and intimidating," Cuban said.

"You know what we call a person like that in Pittsburgh? A jagoff!" Cuban added, using disparaging Pittsburgh slang.

Cuban had spoken with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta several times in recent weeks and called him on Thursday to say he was ready to endorse Clinton, a campaign aide said.

The yet-to-be identified man, known only as “Badoo” was apprehended by some members of vigilante group in the area who detained and punished for several hours after raping an 8-year-old girl before they stone him and set ablased.

It was reliably gathered that the sexual abuse crime was reportedly took place during a celestial church vigil on Sunday, July 24 and the locals hunted for the criminal immediately after one of the church members found the young victim helplessly lying at the church premises.
The criminal who was learnt to belong to one of the notorious cult group that has been terrorizing Ikorodu township and neighboring towns was nabbed while hiding inside a primary school.

A Police source who confirmed the incident said Jungle justice is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group.

He said, “It is most often used to characterise informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor. This form of justice frequently occurs in Africa where people still believe in the old method of taking justice into their own hands”.
