Gregg Berhalter is back as NT head coach. Guess even Americans have some common sense and dragging a 30 year old incident backfired on Gio Reyna after all. Either way Reyna probably has zero meaningful future in the NT and he's almost certain not to fulfill the early promise. Next man up! https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65934063

Only the second time ever we've beaten Germany (not counting the mighty version)

Well, most of the W Series regulars have jumped to F1 Academy since FIA basically created that women series under its own roof. W Series was destined to extinct after that series was formed. Jamie Chadwick is toiling as rookie in Indy Lights (NXT) where she has had many incidents so far and struggles to even crack Top 10 last time I watched. Dare I say it's gonna be nearly impossible to even find the next Simona de Silvestro among this Academy bunch. Danica Patrick was a marketing project even late in her IndyCar career and it went haywire after she chased the NASCAR money but that's water under the bridge now. Natalie Decker has crashed her way out of the NASCAR Trucks (and she failed the initial W Series driving test) and there's still Hailie Deegan in the Trucks who has had mediocre results for three years overall but she can sell the glamour looks. Guess the WEC Iron Dames are the current high-water mark for women in racing, Christina Nielsen is still doing IMSA last time I checked.

For someone like Kuzmova --> yes It's on grass and I suspect Rybarikova from the couch could still beat all active Slovakians on grass

Veronika Hruncakova (Kuzmova) into Den Bosch QF with an upset win over Bianca Andreescu @hckošice

Oakland Athletics won SEVEN games in a row and shafted the horrendous Kansas City Royals to the worst record in the league Meanwhile LA Angels won two straight vs Rangers on the road and it seems like their season might not be finished before the All-Star Break for a change

Well, the expansion draft rules are very much pro-expansion these days, obviously it was to respond to the ultimate punchbags of the by-gone expansion era but the swing has gone too far in the other direction IMO.

Denver Nuggets are NBA champions for the first time in history. 4-1 series over Miami Heat. Totally deserved and also shut down all the negative media narrative. Nikola Jokic has moved himself over Luka Doncic as the best European player right now?

Nick Taylor won the Canadian Open. Adam Hadwin wanted to congratulate him but was mistaken for a crazy fan and promptly tackled by the security I mean if this happened in Middle East or USA then I could understand it but it appears Hadwin is unrecognizeable even in his own country

Pigeon racing is popular in my region and I know a lot of people who are involved. I suspect the pigeon will fly away on his own once he gathers more strenght. Delays of 3-4 days in arrival times are nothing special so I suspect this fella might stay with @hckošicefor a few days

Italy used all the joker cards for the COVID-postponed events like Olympics or European Champs here and there

But that's the thing, like half of the events won't even be held in Kraków. Małopolska my ass... Karate in Bielsko-Biała? Shooting in Wrocław? Like really? Padel & teqball on the Old City Market sounds like a good idea to promote these events but who is gonna watch breakdance in Nowy Sącz?

That's a very depressing musical line-up alright and I don't even recognize three of these names Pop, folk and two old timer rock musicians. Oh, well...

Meanwhile the Polish bakery Inter Europol team wins LMP2 class Not bad for a country with only one operational race track

Pier Guidi stalled the car on the last pitstop and took ages to restart it. Good thing they had such a big lead or else...

Well, it's not like endurance racing hasn't seen its share of mercenary drivers Would be quite a feat if Ferrari wins Nurburgring 24 hours and Le Mans 24 hours within few weeks of each other...

#8 Toyota had an off and trails #51 Ferrari by over three minutes with 1,5 hours remaining...

#7 Toyota out, #8 Toyota leads.

Philippines are lucky Rodion Gataullin wasn't born some 20 years later but maybe he still wouldn't compete for Uzbekistan?

Well, that's one way to take care of vertebrae rehab? In other news, since Muchova didn't win FO, Beatriz Haddad Maia is guaranteed to debut in Top 10 on Monday. Also Elena Rybakina moves into CH #3 so the three best players of the last few months are ranked 1-2-3 now.

Well, Kevin de Bruyne picked up an injury in Champions League final again. At least it's not Haaland

TVP Sport will show a lot more starting from 3x3 basketball, canoeing and beach handball on the 21/22 June but I suppose streaming could be geo-blocked for that one.

Iga Świątek wins Roland Garros for the 3rd time! 6-2 5-7 6-4 as Muchova wasted her chances in the third set

15 year old Alina Korneeva has won the Girls tournament. She also won the AO Girls so becomes the first player since Magdalena Maleeva in 1990 to achieve that feat. Considering she beat Mirra Andreeva in AO final it's safe to say you will hear more about her on WTA tour soon

Well, there was a time that Le Mans was held on the same day as F1 Grand Prix (usually in Canada) but the main problem is how predictable the LMP class is with Toyota. The lack of genuine competition makes it an impossible sell for the masses. Then again FIA doesn't really promote endurance racing as a whole either.
