It looks like @phelpsisn't exactly a fan of Piemonte Calcio :p

actually, I grew up as a big fan of that club (I used to adore Michel Platini first, Roby Baggio then and Alex Del Piero in the end), but when the old classy managers like Boniperti and Umberto Agnelli left, I started to feel disgusted by the arrogance and lack of fair play of people like Moggi & Giraudo to Andrea Agnelli and Paratici

Today I wouldn't call myself an hater, but really, I'm not interested in anything happens around the Italian Serie A anymore

I just support (with not much enthusiasm) the Italian clubs in the international competitions and our National team (at all levels...more the youth teams than the senior one), even if most times they're a pain in the ass to follow :facepalm:

Which serie A team do you root for, bro?

right now, no team at all

 

as I wrote above, when I was a kid (and always a bit later) I was a Juventus fan (but football has never been my first sport except for my very early years...when I discovered a few other sports, I started to root for them rather than football)

 

the only club I root for right now is Olimpia Milano in Basketball (but I still have in my heart the Hockey Club Milano, even if it doesn't exist anymore since a long time ago)

 

and the I have a sympathy for the Devil...ops...no, I mean...the US sports teams I usually follow (LA Kings in the NHL, LA Dodgers in the MLB, the Oakland Raiders in the NFL and the UCLA Bruins in all the NCAA sports, meanwhile I disowned the LA Lakers in the NBA when LeBron came to town...and actually I'm not following the NBA as much as I follow the European basketball and the other US sports)

:ROU Simona Halep was last played in US Open 2022 has been officially banned for four years for the lingering roxadustat case.

That was expected by me because the punishment for roxadustat is 4 years. We can say Halep is retired already from tennis.

    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
