Neymar leads Brazil in fierce Argentina encounter 

Aside from the daily complaints in the media, you'd never have thought that Antoine Griezmann was annoyed about not being on the podium for the various soccer awards handed out so far this season. But more on him in a minute. 

A figure who should have been in the running for the same prizes in an alternate universe was Neymar. But the Brazilian has been fairly quiet  knowing that a season hampered by injury and a bad World Cup for Brazil ruled him out of the running.

However, Neymar is back on the campaign trail and lobbying with his feet having racked up 11 goals in Ligue Un and the Champions League already. 

Another chance to shine comes up today in another edition of the most storied rivalry in world soccer - Brazil against Argentina - taking place in...Jeddah? Yep. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 

The clip notes on this one - Brazil looking to whittle down a huge amount of top talent into a functioning 11. Argentina? Looking for 11 who can play football without Leo Messi to bail them out. 

That clash is live on beIN SPORTS at 1:50PM ET / 10:50AM PT. 

Griezmann leads French charge against failing Germany 

So, onto Antoine Meeeeee!zmann. 

The French forward also has a bit of important business to attend to today in a Nations League clash between France and Germany. 

Now Germany has been in a bit of bother of late, having been thrashed by neighboring Netherlands at the weekend. 

Another chance for a new Low (pun intended) awaits in the Stade de France in a clash that has the French as strong favorites after a goalless draw between the pair in Germany last month.

However, complacency is a bit of a Nations League enemy after Spain expected an easy encounter against England in Seville on Monday but were handed a 3-2 defeat.

If Griezmann wants to be holding a firm Ballon d'Or in his hands come December, then these are the kind of games where the Atletico Madrid man needs to deliver and walk the walk.

SNL or San Siro - Zlatan's big decision 

Time for a bit of TRANSFER TRACKER! 

Just two-and-a-half months before the winter window opens and Sports Burst knows that everyone is very excited indeed about that. 

King Zlatan is back on the agenda with the return of reports that the LA Galaxy striker has been offered a path back to AC Milan either on a loan deal or a permanent move from MLS. 

However, there are doubts over whether the Swede will want to do that without an SNL guest star appearance first. 

Rather weirdly, Milan was linked with Usain Bolt on Monday. But that rumor has now switched to Maltese side, Valletta FC, who are reportedly ready to offer the Jamaican a professional contract. The former sprinter is currently on trial with Australian club, Central Coast Mariners. 

NBA returns with Warriors looking for threepeat 

US sport was already cranked up to 11 with the NHL, NFL and MLB all in action. 

Now it's time for some more abbreviations to turn it up to a 15 with the coolest kings in the sporting jar, the NBA joining the party. 

Basketball returns on Tuesday night with two games starting with the Boston Celtics taking on the Philadelphia Flyers followed by the Golden State Warriors tipping off an attempt at a title threepeat by hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

The visitors will almost certainly be without Russell Westbrook who is still recovering from a knee injury. 

LeBron James won't be in action until Thursday when his Lakers are at the Portland Trail Blazers.
