Polish Ekstraklasa is back and we had a red card after 15 seconds of the first half The team lost 0-6 with two own goals

Don't get fooled by the stats. Red card happened so fast the on screen clock wasn't even on yet...

Not gonna happen. A controlled leak by FIFA to see the reaction and the idea was quickly blasted by Klopp and Pochettino. More will follow IMO. Sin bin would be another reason for time wasting which would lead to probably 20 minutes of added time. At some point enough is enough.

Vittozzi's ski speed was 20 seconds slower than Carrara? Probably wrong wax?

Adrianna Sułek has given birth to a boy today.

Poland had no luck which figures with our second-tier coach and well, Lewandowski might call it a day after Euro 2024 IF we actually get there.

Place your bets on Poland finishing 4th in this group

they finished the SuperLega regular season undefeated (which was a fantastic result) but then choked in the playoff and lost the QF series 3-2 to the 8th seed Milano.

 

and this CL season was a bit weird, ZAKSA almost got eliminated tonight. they came from 2-0 behind (almost lost the 3rd set too) against that Belgian Club to win 3-2 and stay alive. 

And it's over now. ZAKSA lost the second leg to Halkbank Ankara 0-3 and are out. It was a miracle they even made it out of the group stage. They are only 10th in the domestic league right now

3rd worst shooting relay today just worse of and

 

and when even Kuzmina make a penalty loop what can you expect more ?

 

anyway, under the circumstances 16th place is at the end not so bad...but, there were room after 1st leg of Sklenárik for attacking the first half of the results list... meh

The fun fact is that Poland which actually is trying to compete finished 15th Alas our women's team glory days of leading the Olympic relay before the last leg are totally over   Now our men are supposed to be the stronger part but it's like watching a car wreck in slow motion. You know it ends with an explosion anyway...

Gold and silver decided. Oeberg will chase Baserga for bronze and should do it tbh.

Voigt is down and out. No ski speed there.

Preuss chokes. Penalty loop. Norway in the lead.

Polish TV talking how ain't dead last which is a success

Does top-level journalism even exist anymore? Social media have taken over and you're ancient history after 20 mins in the news industry these days.

The women's competition was subpar with only a hanfdul of jumps around 130 meters. Nika Prevc was the biggest let down given she ought to do better on the biggest large hill in operation.

Forfang will hill record 155.5 meters! So no win for most likely...

Antti Aalto leads after the first round in Willingen
