Tuesday in Russia was the first rest day of the Confederations Cup and, with no football games to occupy them, journalists in Moscow and Sochi liberally filled their faces.
Take a look at the lavish delicacies on offer at the Otkrytiye Arena as part of FIFA s Welcome Brunches . They took place in the afternoon and occurred three days too late to be a welcome but pedants tend to pipe down when there s a free lunch on offer.
The Kazan pack will have their chance tomorrow, while Sochi s Deputy Mayor Sergey Yurchenko and venue manager Andrey Markov could not hit the buffet quick enough following some tricky questions from reporters. As the old saying doesn t quite go, you give someone an miniature sandwich, they take a mile.
CAVI-AAAH THAT’S TASTY

Last seen heading into the international break with an eye-catching display on home soil as they breezed their way to a 3-1 romp against DC United, Gonzalo Pineda’s men will be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Sat firmly in pole position to clinch a top-seven finish in the Eastern Conference this season, Atlanta mark their return on Thursday in the mi…
Market: Coventry win
Odds: 4/5 @
Looking to extend on their October purple patch in midweek, Coventry will host Rotherham on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Coventry might still find themselves battling it out in the drop zone, the Blues are enjoying an eye-catching October flurry.

Last seen over the weekend putting in another rugged display as they eventually picked up a 2-0 victory away at Stoke, the one-time Huddersfield boss should find the mood in his camp at a real high.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has verbally accepted an offer to stay with A-League club Perth Glory next season.
The Glory have been in discussions with Fowler since at least last December as the striker, who turns 36 on Saturday, weighed up whether to spend one more season in the A-League or head back to the United Kingdom to further his coaching ambitions.
With the A-League in a long off-season remission before the new campaign starts in October, Fowler has joined MK Dons as part of Karl Robinson s backroom staff, while he will also spend the next week at Bury assisting caretaker manager Richie Barker.
But despite having taken some steps towards becoming a coach after retirement, Fowler has given the clearest indication yet that he wants to play out o…
