The championship should be decided by the time we hit Bahrain & Dubai so it's not like the worst news in the world

I wasn't talking about this specific race and Sato as the winner. NASCAR's overtime rules are trash no matter who profits from them and I'd support a finish under yellow at Indy even if Dixon would have won it. Save those damn gimmicks for NASCAR. Guess you completely missed my point.

It was about time I finally won something

Hogwash! It's Indianapolis 500, not Indianapolis 510. NASCAR's overtime aka green-white-checkered is pure bullshit for me and artificial gimmick that should be removed but quite frankly they've gone even further with mandatory 4 drivers in the title race at the last race. NASCAR is like the LAST place you search for ideas to improve quality of racing. If those stupid rules were in place in 1998 then Dale Earnhardt would have probably never won Daytona 500 If rain-shortened races are valid and someone can be called an Indy 500 winner after actually winning Indy 320 or something then it makes no sense that a potential leader at the 500 mile mark can't be called a winner because of some artificial gimmick. Nobody cares about Indianapolis 510 winners. PS. Thank God for Pigot's crash because Dixon has made this season a complete dud already. I was obviously cheering for Sato here

Pol Espargaro totally choked that away. Serves him right for dissing Oliveira after last week's collision! Then again, Joan Mir would have won it but for Vinales' brake failure.

Maverick Vinales jumps off the bike at like 320 km/h and the bike itself destroys Turn 1 tyre wall. Red flag at Red Bull Ring again. This season has seen some crazy stuff alright.

Polish Ekstraklasa kicked off on Friday. Meanwhile here is how Wisla Plock's stadium looks like today

Yastremska beat Venus 7-5 in the third. I don't see her reaching the final though. Anisimova beat Riske 6-3 6-3.

Yeah, other than soccer Americans are pretty weak in European history as well even though fascism has had quite a prominent role in the last century Cicero who provides a written evidence about the Roman salute lived 2,000 years before Mussolini & Hitler

She'd be better at the almost defunct indoor carpet surface. Clay is where she struggles which probably explains the Palermo & Prague flop in general.

I'm waiting for the torch relay to be banned next since it was invented by the Nazi Germany after all

Hitler "adopted" the Roman salute as well as the swastika (sign of good luck in ancient Rome) when he came to power. As a failed painter Hitler was always a fan of ancient Roman/classical art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_salute I supose you didn't watch any movies staged in ancient Rome in your life?

Yeah, I don't expect any American to have a serious knowledge on soccer after all. It's obviously very different in Europe. Paolo Di Canio is an open fascist and his Roman salute after a Lazio game caused an uproar back in 2005. Lazio's supporters are well known far-right extremists for many years and if you had more knowledge on soccer you'd probably be #1 Lazio critic here. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1506262/Im-a-fascist-not-a-racist-says-Paolo-di-Canio.html This article gets it wrong on lack of black players at Lazio back then though since Fabio Liverani (mother from Somalia) played for them and I have no idea why he's not included. Things have changed in the last 15 years but Lazio fans' fascism has not

Marc Marquez has been ruled out for two-three months now. That was the only sensible decision from day one. They should just announce his season is officially over. Now Jack Miller can fight for that title after all

Yeah, well, Slovakia is a predominantly white population like all Slavic countries after all. I would have thought Nazi/facist salutes are worst than everything Slovan does but guess not

That's exactly what I would expect indeed. Maybe it's not so obvious for people who don't follow tennis beyond Grand Slam finals.

Paolo Di Canio and Lazio would be happy to hear that

Alexandrova did nothing in Palermo & Prague and here she beats Rybakina.

No offense to Canucks but I preferred their old color scheme - even with this hideous 1980s jerseys. This literally looked like stuff from Star Trek goons wardrobe or something. The modern jerseys are basically a rip-off from the Hartford Whalers IMO (yeah, I'm old enough to actually remember that team).

Well, Cardiff and Swansea finally made it into EPL but Wrexham couldn't even stay in the top four tiers which must be considered a major disappointement.

International opinion doesn't really care about the Congress elections like you say. Besides, anything can be struck down by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile President is one office that always gathers international attention and first Obama said Democrats shouldn't lean too far left and if Biden wins that's game over for Bernie's Army since there's usually zero competition for a sitting President and Sanders is too old to make a genuine run in 8 years time.

Doesn't Wrexham play in the English league too? I really wonder whether English fifth tier is better than presumably dominating the Welsh league. Maybe it's too late for a change now.

Sebastian Coe has made a complete fool of himself again. I hope he gets ripped to pieces for this LJ idea. And I'm glad to hear some top names are dragging him thru the mud right now!

Only Republican candidates (Trump) can be too old for the office Biden is four years older than Trump so it's just another case of liberal hypocrisy. Then again, if Biden wins that means we're finally done with the Bernie Sanders sociallist nonsense.

Haiti in football? Still best known for getting blasted 7-0 by Poland at 1974 World Cup
