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

49ers blew Steelers 30-7 - so much for Purdy being tested after injury Raiders upset Broncos on the road 17-16. No immediate fix to Denver offense with Sean Payton either.

@rybakAre you really surprised? More of fucking Krychowiak and other has-beens in NT wins 2-0. Good for them. Some heads could roll soon. The shitstorm will be just picking up more steam. This bunch of clowns is going nowhere and Lewandowski is 35 year old while being happy to keep his circle of buddies in NT.

Germany usually had its star players and they did it their own way Right now they have nobody and I mean nobody. Sane is nowhere near being a world class player in the NT team. Btw, it's really rock bottom if you have to bring up Morocco of all countries to validate whatever Germany should be doing in football

It's a lenghty problem to fix. Apparently Nagelsmann will come to save the day now but in reality the German NT doesn't even the depth available to challenge for major trophies anymore. Leroy Sane hasn't developed into a world class player whatsoever and we all know Werner/Havertz are not there either. It's almost as bad as the late 90s/early 00s when the team was pulled by Ulf Kirsten in his mid 30s and Carsten Jancker (before Miroslav Klose emerged).

Word is Hansi Flick has been fired as NT manager. What an utter disaster this has been but the problem clearly lies with the players available IMO. Germany went ahead of the curve with development in the 2000s which allowed them to cash in for the 2014 World Cup but the world has changed since then and Germany has been clearly left behind.

lost at home to 1-4 They are really miles removed from being a top team these days. Can only wonder what happens when they host the Euros next. Guess Bayern winning gazillion Bundesliga titles is totally worth crap for the NT. Even Hanis Flick can do shit with the mighty players like Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck

beat 27-13 in the opener. I assume is the favorite to win Pool B so this puts New Zealand into their path now?

Pick & roll and rebounding can still win you games? Who would have thought that?

beat 2-0 after 70 minutes of dismal play, VAR penalty and a late strike from Lewandowski again. Nobody should watch this match ever again

Same old Lions? The hype might be genuine as they take down Chiefs 21-20 helped by some epic blunders from Kadarius Toney in particular!

Somewhat shockingly Polsat Sport has bought rights to NFL prime-time games. That's the first time in history regular season games will be shown on any Polish TV. Chiefs vs Lions starts in 2 hours. Travis Kelce has been ruled out.

Jelena Ostapenko takes out Iga Świątek in three sets and improves h2h to 4-0! This means WTA will have a new #1 after US Open. And that person is Aryna Sabalenka since even if Pegula wins the tournament she can't surpass the Belarussian anymore.

ride Melissa Vargas until the very end and beat 3-2 in the final.

14-year old tennis hopeful Ksenia Efremova has switched to

Sorana Cirstea takes out Elena Rybakina in three sets so that's the highest women's seed gone so far.

Iga Świątek needed only 49 minutes to beat junior BFF Kaja Juvan 6-0 6-1

Following the Moldova debacle Fernando Santos decided to call up washed-up has-beens Krychowiak and Grosicki for the and matches At least there is no Kamil Glik to complete the useless triffecta.

@hckošiceMy local club (sixth or seventh tier) used to have train tracks roughly 30 meters behind the invisible back fence (because there was no fence). Our games are still usually played at 5 pm on Sundays and in the middle of the second half a train passed by ca. 6:20 pm. However that ended in late 90s when the nearest coal mine was shut down and the train stopped going there
