It doesnt matter now, win is win and enjoy that 

I objectively stopped enjoying basketball when it became a 3 pt shooting contest. I believe this is why 3x3 basketball has suddenly became more popular in the last decade or so.

I don’t believe it

We got extremely lucky with Doncic's fouls. We were ready to choke this one away big time

We barely held on to win by 3 pts with Doncic not playing the last four minutes. Better be lucky than good

Doncic fouled out and Poland leads by 8 pts with 2:30 to play. The upset is back on...

Poland led by 19 points at half-time but Slovenia won the third quarter by 18 pts

So today I made the effort to watch a basketball match. FRA vs ITA and I Can not believe what I just saw  I purposely set my alarm to count the real tíme and yes, the very last minute of the RT of the match lasted almost 9 minutes 

This is basketball after all. The final minute of a game usually lasts longer than the entire quarter unless the score is decided already.

Alright, vs QF up next. We didn't play in the volleyball WCh so we play them in Euro Basket instead

Word is Kazakhstan secretly approached Dzinara Alimbekava over a nationality change but she declined it. Her father comes from Kazakhstan and she was born there too.

Carlos Alcaraz wins the US Open and becomes the youngest ATP #1 in history!

Alcaraz won the one TB that mattered after those lost in QF & SF... one game away...

Congrats to Italy

Barbora Krejcikova & Katerina Siniakova complete a career GS in doubles! They came back from 3-6 1-4 down to beat McNally & Townsend 3-6 7-5 6-1.

Last year in Abu Dhabi safety car was in the pit for the last lap. Today, with the track clear, the race ended behind the safety car.  Whatever...

Well, we have a different Race Director this year

Nyck De Vries voted driver of the day! Latifi can't leave F1 soon enough...

Max Verstappen wins the Italian Grand Prix ahead of Charles Leclerc.

Nyck De Vries finished 9th so for the first time two drivers score points in the same Grand Prix.

Pre-race vintage car parade before the F1 Italian Grand Prix:

Poland NT was linked to Gianni di Biasi after the 2018 World Cup fiasco, kinda wish he was chosen over Jerzy Brzęczek given how often we played Italy in the Nations League soon afterwards

Anyway, will play  in a friendly match in Warsaw on November 16th. Let's see if this helps us vs Messi & co.

 Example:

I am liberal - jag är liberal

Liberals - liberalER

the liberals - liberalERNA

What's the difference between 'liberals' and 'the liberals'?

The plot thickens.... back in the 80s the popular joke in Poland was Swedish is the hardest language to understand (obviously we wanted to be kind to Hungarians ).

Which points are you talking about exactly?

He probably means the reputation points

@Swewi What's the deal with the -erna suffixes in Swedish? I seem to recall half of the local speedway teams have it the same way (Dackarna, Indianerna) but basically no football clubs are named like that

Iga Świątek wins US Open!!! 6-2 7-6(5) over Ons Jabeur!

Grand Slam title #3

Women's final underway... Iga Świątek takes the first set 6-2 in 29 mins...

Poland wins 15:12 in tie-break

Poland vs Brazil heading into a tie-break.

More presence at Monza as Nyck de Vries will replace Alexander Albon (appendicitis) at Williams for this weekend.

Alcaraz beats Tiafoe in five sets so we have the dream winner takes all for maiden GS and new ATP #1 match on Sunday!
