The Morocco team appearing in men’s team of the year shortlist is the most bizarre for me. I appreciate what they did was a first for an African team and they played brilliantly at the World Cup but they finished 4th, and yet they made the best team of the year shortlist….

Well, slowly that's starting. You can just sense the "in 5 minutes I can be world champion" nerves getting to him.

Truly bizarre 3rd leg in the second set just now: 180 Van Gerwen 180 Smith 177 Van Gerwen 180 Smith Van Gerwen misses the 9-dart finish on double 12 Smith finishes 141 for a 9-dart finish

I’m watching the sport year 2022 in SVT. OMG! Right now I’m very disappointed that the best team in the world isn’t allowed to participate in these awards. Yes I’m talking about Team Sweden Equestrian Show Jumping. They are so good.

Thanks. Yeah, we were really super-close from one of the biggest upsets in world hockey history since the Olympics gold in 1936 or so. despite the fact that the loss hurts so much, really really hurts now, people in Slovakia are very proud of the boys. the coach evaluated it nicely in the post-match interviews. We can go home with our heads held high and proud, even though we currently cry a lot inside. This 2003/04/05 generation is one of our best ever for sure. (16 players of the current roster are possible returnees also for the next year U20 champs, when we´ll add Slaf not released by Montreal this time we can send one quality team that is not easy to play against). Bedard is a monster. Uncommon Generational talent. His skills and hockey IQ are so far above everyone else already now and he is still 3 years younger than most of his opponents. The kid will be one of the chosen-ones greats of this sport and kids will learn in history class about him

Honestly, was kind of rooting a bit for Slovakia at the end of the game. Would have been a great story. Anyways, what a game and massive respect for the Slovakian team especially Gajan. Looks like bright days are ahead for Slovak hockey! Also on another note, Connor Bedard is absolutely insane.

Meanwhile Ronaldo has landed in Saudi Arabia , there're also talks in Saudi Media that Al Nassr will bring Firminio from Liverpool and Al Hilal will bring Tomas Tuchel !

Word is Enzo Fernandez will move to Chelsea for 120+ million Euro. @konig@LDOG
