First 0-0 of this tournament. That was a boring match , both teams played safe. Was it a fair call on the offside? 

The offside was clear but it was deemed impeding and the French GK wouldn't have saved it anyway IMO.

I thought the goal should have stood. It was a poor decision. VAR got it wrong, the ball was past the GK wven before he could react. This result also means Polska are the first country eliminated from the tournament

Well, the AR flagged it offside to begin with so even without VAR the goal wouldn't have counted anyway. And yeah, this means :POL is the first team eliminated.

Clear offside , rules are rules if he is on the sight of GK and he's offside , it's an offside regardless the GK would have saved or not , Dumfries is the one to be blamed by Dutch team and Simon's who was robbed of a very special moment and 1st goal ever at the Euros

Do you really believe it ? I mean, would you bet on that ? My long life experience with Slovak sport including Football has taught me that it is useless to believe, it always turns out badly for us.

 

Trust me, vainly waiting for something and hoping for miracles, literally in four out of five cases it will not work out. The pain of disappointment is then too much heavy and disappointments on daily basis can lead to dangerous health issues, so yeah, no, thanks. It´s better not to expect anything and then not be disappointed. and if one of the five cases by mracles really happens then just celebrate it properly.

 

the sorrowful life of a Slovak sports fan in nutshell :d

2010 and 2016. So, two it`s more than 1 :) Only in 2021r. Slovakia don`t advanced from group phase.

For being in the way of the goalkeeper? Kind of, considering Dumfries shouldn't have been there. Goalkeeper would never have gotten the ball anyway, because he had barely even gotten up, but oh well. Dumfries is enthousiastic and seems to be nice (despite his super angry look), but with these kind of things isn't always the brightest bulb in the house :p

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
