Lionel Messi has been banned for four international matches - just hours before Argentina's World Cup qualifier against Bolivia.

The Barcelona forward was punished for directing "insulting words" at an assistant referee in Thursday's 1-0 win over Chile.

Messi, who scored the only goal in the qualifier, was angered when he was flagged for a foul, waving and shouting at the assistant in response.

The 29-year-old was also fined £8,100.

Fun fact: Roy Keane is a big snooker fan. I met him while working at The Crucible during the World Championship last year and asked him for a selfie.

Bad move.

So the question is:

In case you missed it...

The Netherlands sacked head coach Danny Blind on Sunday after two years in charge.

It followed  a 2-0 defeat by Bulgaria  on Saturday that leaves the Netherlands fourth in their World Cup qualifying group at the halfway stage.

Blind, 55, took over as coach from Guus Hiddink in 2015, but his side failed to qualify for the European Championships in France last summer.

The Dutch FA said, external  recent results left the team "with difficulty qualifying for the World Cup in Russia".

Former Ajax goalkeeper Fred Grim will take charge as interim coach when the Netherlands face Italy today.

FC Rostov striker Aleksandr Bukharov - Manchester United fans will know about him - scored a late equaliser for Russia as they came from 3-1 to draw 3-3 against Belgium. Crystal Palace front man Christian Benteke netting twice for the Red Devils.

The result means 2018 World Cup hosts Russia have now won just twice in their last 13 international fixtures. Ideal preparation going into next year then.

Ex-Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko netted a penalty as Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Albania 2-1, while Croatia suffered a surprise 3-0 loss in Estonia.

Plenty of international action already taken place today, but here are the fixtures to come:

(all 19:45 BST kick-offs unless stated otherwise)

Austria v Finland

Netherlands v Italy

Portugal v Sweden

Republic of Ireland v Iceland

And the big one...

France v Spain (20:00 BST)
