Ipswich Town fans celebrated the team’s return to the Premier League. However, they were reminded of how brutal their journey would be after meeting Liverpool to start the season. The latter’s post-Jurgen Klopp era began with a 2-0 win against Ipswich.

Ipswich and Liverpool faced off for the whole match, with Ipswich battling for possession and creating the game's two best opportunities. And they did it with a starting eleven that featured seven players from their promotion from English football's third division, League 1, a little over a year ago.

According to a sportsbook watchdog, Ipswich could not keep up with Liverpool as they stepped up their game and played faster. The score was leveled five minutes after the restart when Diogo Jota scored. Mohamed Salah then completed the scoring. The comfortable Liverpool we've grown to know and love over the past several seasons was shattered by a one-two punch that popped the Ipswich bubble.

It’s been a long time in the making and soon, Missouri might have legal sports betting within its borders. This is because Missourians will Vote on Legalizing Sports Betting after a campaign to put the issue on the ballot. For sports betting proponents, this is a great victory as legalizing sports gambling has been unsuccessful in the past.

According to Bookie News, the announcement on which issues would be in the November 5 ballot was made on Tuesday. This is when Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s office said a constitutional amendment to legalize sports wagering would be on the ballot.  Furthermore, the vote for legal sports betting is one of 3 other issues Missourians will get to vote on in November 5. Other issues on the ballot will also include a minimum wage hike and abortion rights.

The proposal to legalize sports betting arises after the state legislature's repeated failures to pass such legislation in several sessions.

Despite interest from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers in endorsing sports betting, the initiative was consistently obstructed by Senator Denny Hoskins, who sought to link it with a bill aimed at legalizing video gaming machines.

The current proposal, designated as Amendment 2 on the ballot, is supported by various Missouri sports organizations, including the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
