Red card for Ampadu. Well deserved that one.

Ons Jabeur claims her first WTA career title in Birmingham. She's won ITF titles on grass before but I'd never suspect she wins one at WTA level.

Also an our women in judo at "her" day can fight for medal. 

Six goals already. It's gonna be tough for Spain to beat that... or maybe not?

That was a reporter, don't know for which TV she works but I guess we'll find out before half-time is over
 
 

I was 10 and I had already heard of nandrolone thanks to Edgar Davids  
 
I did come across an article from 2001, headlined 'Nobody is so stupid as to take nandrolone on purpose'

This is by far the worst day of football so far at these championships, dear lord. 

Remember the era when a second false start by any athlete would be an automatic DQ? Think that was Beijing 2008.  It quickly got to the point where you could tell which 100m runner in a heat - invariably the fifth-ranked by time - would do the first false start.   So I don’t share your faith in sporting honesty.

Belgium wins 2-1. Best game of the tournament so far.

2 covid positive tests in team after yesterday testing...
 
1 Player (Denis Vavro) and 1 Team staff member (name not revealed) had positive tests during yesterday mandatory PCR testing session 48 hours before the match. Vavro (who was still unlikely to play) and the team staff member were immediately send to isolation, the rest of the team will have another testing today.
 
From our bubble also the team bus driver is positive, not sure enough now if the virus came from him though

Not tortilla, tortellini 

That's not the rule anymore. Now ARs have to WAIT until the play is over and then raise the flag. The rule was tweaked to prevent situations when a player was actually onside and the quick AR call was wrong. The rule was tweaked back in 2013 already (before the 2014 World Cup) but some fans still call it by the old version. I see this happen even in Polish league when commentators sometimes wonder "why the AR raised the flag so late?". Because that's the new rule!
 
The previous rule tweak was in 2005 when AR was allowed to keep the flag down when a player offside wasn't making any play at the ball.

3rd player from the super mega mighty league on the pitch. could have been more, but the best player of our league (Kalmar) is sadly injured
 
so Go Schäfer !

Already said it many many times in this forum, but the French Ice Hockey team booking tickets to wrong country and landing in Krakow instead of Košice for the World Championships !!! is by far my all time fav hard core

Reminds me when Bojana Jovanovski ended up being the only person at the airport in New Mexico

Reminds me of when some Athletic Bilbao fans travelled to Budapest for a Europa League final when the match was played in Bucharest.

Like always, we need 10 shots to score a goal and the opponent just 1 or 2. Unbearable.
 
And the coach takes an eternity to realize who are his best players. It took him an year to realize Martínez was the best argentinian GK and now it will take him another year to realize who are the best CBs. Hopefully he will be fired by then.

Only in Copa America can a player be send off in 54th minute... of the first half

Messi scored in first half and Chile equalised on the follow up after a missed penalty.

Really Isak out? The only threat to Spain

At the Euros yes but on World Cup level and won a game 3,5 hours apart on 14 June 1998 already
