Poland will always send as many athletes as possible. Let's see if we avoid the swimming drama from 2021 where six swimmers found out they are ineligible to compete only after they arrived in Tokyo

It feels like every Brazilian fan has been saying their NT or the coach sucks for the past 14 years

Armenia and Kurds saying negative things about Turkey? That's brand new information! Like I've said, this is a by-product of letting more teams into the Euro finals. Majority of the Balkans and Turkey has a much easier way to qualify now and of course they are nationalistic nations so you know what you get. England might change the St. George's cross to purple colors and nobody cares after like five days but it's not that simple with some other nations who have long been ignored on the global stage. This is their time to shine and they will full advantage of that.

That's the flip side of having so many teams play at the Euro. It's no longer an exclusive party for Western democracies. However Germany should be aware they are the Turkey's second home to begin with? This inappropriate behaviour is simply reality. What does Germany's internal affairs minister say about all those Turks actually living in Germany?

Mert with a save of the tournament in added time and makes the QF!

Merih Demiral with his second goal of the match!

scores after 60 seconds!

Very poor defending from Romania. Overall they've played a bad match. 2-0 for Holland.

Gegenpressing!

Racovitan forgot this is not Polish Ekstraklasa. Dutch wasting many chances as per usual.

Sixth seed Andrey Rublev lost in R1 to Francisco Comesana in four sets

Gakpo scores for 1-0.

The thing is when the penalty kick actually starts. Common sense indicates it's when the player starts running towards the ball after the whistle but the current interpretation allows to think it starts after the deliberate stop as well. Which is pure nonsense but FIFA & UEFA are letting this fly. Overall the number of goals doesn't go up as fast as it did like 10-15 years ago because the gap between teams has indeed closed down.

Defending women's champion Marketa Vondrousova loses to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 4-6 2-6 in R1. One of the worst performances by a defending GS champion I can ever remember.

Almost 2.5 years later and EU has lifted the travel sanctions on Mazepin & his father which means they can enter EU again. Moreover Haas has to re-pay 9 of the 13 million dollars they received for signing Mazepin into a two year contract. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ex-f1-driver-mazepin-begins-testing-in-europe-as-eu-sanctions-lift/10630558/

Lulu Sun's parents are from China and Croatia and she represented Switzerland where she was born until March. I don't know if people in New Zealand even realize who Lulu Sun is.

Legendary meltdown from Slovenia in PSO. Sesko is worth 50 million Euro? Yeah, right. That miss might haunt Slovenia for the next 20 years or something.

Horrendous miss from Sesko. His stock must be going down after wasting this chance. Pepe lives on!

Yeah, I'm fine with Ronaldo missing that PK. Could be the last straw for his NT career if Portugal goes out.

In a match between the two youngest players in the women's main draw Brenda Fruhvirtova came back from 1-6 0-3 down to beat Mirra Andreeva 1-6 6-3 6-2. So yes, she won 12 of the last 14 games vs the Roland Garros semi-finalist

Zheng Qinwen is the highest women seed to bite the dust in R1. Her cakewalk draw run to AO final looks worse by the month. Maria Sakkari has won her R1 match at GS again! Meanwhile Paula Badosa won after 1h 21 mins vs Karolina Muchova with one game lasting 18 minutes alone.

A poor game but a bounce off Vertonghen gives France the lead in the 85th minute.

Arrogance got caught out so he has to say the usual nonsense about "friends" on the bench. He's no different than any super star who thinks he's bigger than life. It's always about ego for these millionaire footballers
