It has happened. Lukas Podolski has joined boyhood fave club Gornik Zabrze. He said he will play for Gornik before he retires for years but most people stopped believing he actually will.

Being born in Israel is not what I meant. I meant whether they are living in USA. I checked this Shlomo Lipetz guy since that sounded like someone who wasn't born in USA and he was not but he lives in Brooklyn so checks down on my list too

It's early July and Ohtani has actually extended the gap at the top of the HR charts. Sadly the Angels' pitching & bullpen remains their liability (third worst ERA in the AL) so they can only dream about a Wild Card berth IMO. Six teams have won at least 50 games so far. On the other end, Arizona Diamondbacks is the worst team (23-63 record). They managed to set a MLB record 24-game losing streak in away games

I assume every single player is based in the USA?

This is one suspicious. It looked like a stomach bug or a panic attack. It seems like she was physically unable to play any more matches than she did. She actually announced retirement off-court which is highly unusual.

Looking at the crowds at Mid-Ohio and Road America it sure looks like COVID is gone in USA. Joe Biden probably approved it too

It's funny since I always considered Kim Batten's WR as the "old" WR I thought Femke Bol would have more chance for a medal at 400m given all the mess down there but maybe she can actually sneak one in 400h?

Max Verstappen wins at the Red Bull Ring. Hamilton had some rear end issues and only finished 4th behind Bottas and Norris. Raikkonen & Vettel had a dumb crash on the last lap as the Finn didn't really look in his mirrors. A rash of 5 second penalties for forcing driver off track (2x Perez, 1x Norris) and crossing white line at pitlane entry (2x Tsunoda).

What both ways? Teams that had to travel around Europe didn't get into the last four. What advantage they had? Since the introduction of group stage at the Euros only one host nation won the title (1984) so I don't believe in the "one team advantage" narrative either.

Yes, this is also show how stupid this idea was. Hosting the games gave all those teams a huge advantage. Thankfully Michel Platini who created this stupid format has been removed so he won't come up with any further nonsense.

Ospina saves two and Colombia wins 4-2 on PK.

Copa America has this penalty shootout instead of extra time rule for a long while now. Since 2001 or 2004 IIRC. Yerry Mina showing off before and after the kick

Baku pays a lot of petrol money to impose their anti-LGBT stance. Besides, it's a Muslim country. You don't tell Muslims what they should do and they usually have the last laugh because everyone is scared of Islamophobia label anyway

The bitchslapping is on. 4-0. Time to watch something else

Sancho in the starting line-up! Has Southgate finally seen the light?

Denmark looked tired out there. I don't know if this was down to Baku heat or what but I don't see them beating England.

They still conceded 0 goals. Southgate's tactics to field two holding midfielders has worked extremely well so far. Michal Listkiewicz said the first goal for Denmark should have never happened because there was no corner to begin with.

Denmark wins. Well, they won't stand much chance vs England though so this is where their run ends IMO.

Given the population size of India and Canada, it's obvious India underperforms much more than Canada at CG

Schick! 2-1!

Hit the harmonicas! Czechs need some ideas!

Czechs take out Netherlands and UEFA apppoints Dutch referee for their next match

But when you have defending race winner then you should go for GC again? Btw, Carapaz has only been "elevated" to Ineos team leader during this week after the early crashes?
