Seattle Mariners beat Toroto Blue Jays 4-0, Phillies rally in the 9th to beat Cardinals 6-3 while Guardians beat Rays 2-1 in the early window first WC games. Max Scherzer collapsed to 4 HR and is chased out of the game in the fifth with SD Padres leading 7-0! Cue in that "same old Mets" tune

Well, you can't take anything for granted. We can still qualify if we lose but Canada beats Dominicana IIRC.

Yeah, I watched that sucker. It was even worse than Panthers vs Browns Week 1. Broncos are in deep shit if Wilson is in decline. They are laughing out there in Seattle right now As a Raiders fan I can't be unhappy that Broncos are struggling on offense this much!

Phil Read (first rider to win 125cc, 250cc and 500cc World Championships) passed away at the age of 83.

First round of UEFA qualifying play-offs was held tonight: beat 1-0 after extra time. beat 1-0 after extra time. beat 2-1 after Pinto scored in 89th minute with Belgium down to 10 players (Tysiak send off just like she was at the Euro). The last round will be played on October 11th: vs vs vs Two winners with best points will advance to World Cup (Switzerland and Iceland right now if they win, it gets more complicated if they don't) and the third team goes to the inter-continental playoff where they would be a big favorite to qualify with the likes of Panama, Papua New Guinea, Haiti or Chinese Taipei as potential opponents).

I thing I picked the wrong for 48 kg gold. I thought Tonaki will take over as #1 for good. Sure enough, some upsets in that category.

Cene Prevc (ski jumping) announced his retirement at the age of 26. That is quite a surprise.

Aaron Judge hits HR #62 to set a new American League record. Every NL mark ahead of him is from the steroids era.

Whoa! Someone actually watches speedway? Even in Poland where we have the allegedly strongest league in the world this sport is only followed in cities where the teams are based. Nobody give a hoot about it elsewhere. Hint: I don't follow speedway other than flipping through channels when it's on. We even have TV coverage for third tier matches (which is the lowest) and teams from Germany actually compete there (a team from Latvia is in the second tier IIRC).

Gonzalo Higuain will retire at the end of the MLS season.

Who the fuck cares what Merkel has to say anymore? Her legacy of appeasing Russia is well and truly set.

And so it begins...

Cincinnati Bengals beat Miami Dolphins 27-15 in the first game of Week 4 but there should be some media backlash as Maimi QB Tua Tagovailoa left early after a clear concussion-like effects. He was in concussion protocol on Sunday already but thet let him finish that game vs Bills. It seems like something is very much off behind the curtains.

beats 3-1. Just so some media hype doesn't go too far.

Finland is in Pot 2 while Ukraine in Pot 3. Anyway, the Group of Death for Poland would be: and Easiest group (almost impossible to happen): and

beats 3-0. Thailand got their one upset already so things went back to normal.
