Yeah... I know players has been told/forced to stand up for the national anthem, but a player like Malcom Jenkins, from The Eagles, has been quite vocal about why the players are kneeling. I don't know if he will still kneel on the field under the national anthem, or just follow this new stupid rule? I hope he will do the former.

This is bizarre The player "scores" and in his celebration he gets injured. He comes back ten minuter later and gets a second yellow card for his celebration. https://www.eurosport.com/football/watch-player-celebrates-goal-injures-himself-and-gets-sent-off_sto6908788/story.shtml

Makarova is a top 10 killer

I'm so proud that Anna Emilie Moller is going to represent Team Europe

My bet of 6 players/teams would retire today doens't look great at the moment.

I guess the Tour wants to become like the Giro

The plan is to host the start in 2021. We will see if it becomes reality..

Yeah.. But imagine if it was Haase who was leading 6-2 and lost the next six points..

I guess Haase and Middelkoop very pretty lucky

! But before she goes, she will probably face her sister in the third round

First, The Netherlands turns down The Ukraine–European Union Association Agreement in a referendum, and now one of your big tv broadcasters don't recognise a Ukrainian winning a set in Tennis.

Farewell Anabel Medina Garrigues The two-time Roland Garros double winner announced she will retire after US Open. This is the end of her 20-years long career. She will continue her coaching career.

The WTA...

That was quick, Mertens! She wins 6-2 6-0 against Lapko

Poland also "has" a quite good player in the women's singles, Wozniacki..

Correction: The bet counts both singles and doubles. You are alowed to edit your post if you weren't aware.

A quick bet: How many players will retire, because of the heat or an injury in today's matches? My bet is 6

This year's US open has not been very WTA. Though the only top 20 player who is out after first round is the number 1 seeded. WTA strikes again

Both Schnyder and Radwanska suffered their first ever lost in a US Open first round. Schnyder had a 14-0 record and Radwanska had a 12-0. Interesting enough, Maria Sharapova who beat Schnyder in first round is still unbeaten in US Open first round. She now has a 12-0 record. Three other women in this edition is still unbeaten in first round: Venus Williams now has a 20-0 record, Serena Williams 18-0 and Victoria Azarenka 11-0.

Several Indonesian medallists at the Asian Games have offered to raise money and donate their win bonuses to the victims that were hit by a series of earthquakes at Lombok island. http://www.euronews.com/2018/08/29/indonesian-medal-winners-contribute-towards-lombok-cause

What a goal

At least Liechtenstein is now part of our football history. Our women's U-19 hasn't won 11-0 against a team since 2012.

Sorry... Poor, little Liechtenstein.
