    The fun thing about Hochul is that everyone hates her for different and contradictory reasons.

    Yeah, but this top-heavy approach has brought down more aspiring contenders before. Kiner-Falefa looked okay in Texas but that's the thing with players looking good on terrible teams (as Rangers were then). They usually look below average on better teams. At least you didn't sign Daniel Vogelbach But yeah, 39-year old Justin Turner makes no sense whatsoever.
     
    Overall teams that have sucked in the last several years have turned it around somewhat fast (Rangers, Orioles and DBacks) and Blue Jays might have a copy of the Mets situation where Alonso/Lindor combo just doesn't win enough games save for that one season. Hell, I kinda expect Alonso will be traded if Mets are few games below .500 at the All-Star break.

    And that is exactly what Israel wanted so it was probably an attack on purpose to scare off all the aid organizations. There were three cars travelling and three drone strikes each happened after occupants moved to the remaining cars after there was nobody alive in the end.

    Long-time NPB pitcher Shota Imanaga made his MLB debut for the Cubs and gave up only 2 hits in 6 IP vs Rockies.
     
    Cubs won 5-0 also thanks to one Colorado guy making two errors on one play

    First no-hitter of the season. Ronel Blanco of the Astros blanks the Blue Jays in 10-0 rout.

    Maybe for you guys it is laughable, you were in an easy group and struggled so much, and even against Wales did not have a shot on goal the entire 120 minutes and still qualified.
     
    For us we were in the toughest group, fought very hard in two games against France and one game against the Netherlands, won all games against the other teams, won our Nations League group, beat Kazakhstan 5-0 on Thursday, and had one poor game at Georgia where even though we didn't concede a goal, we could not score, and lost on penalties, and will not be at the Euros...
     
    So it's all about perspective, you think it is easy but for us it is not easy.
     
    The sad thing is we qualified for three consecutive Euros (2004, 2008, 2012) and made the quarterfinals or better in two of those, then they increased the amount of teams to 24 for the next three (2016, 2020, 2024) and we did not manage to qualify for any of them!
     
    2016 was probably the worst as we were in a joke group and most of our Starting 11 played in the Champions League at that time and we've been in a massive slump ever since. On paper, there simply are not 24 teams better than us even if now we do not have as good players as we used to, we still should be qualifying for these tournaments, it's really a shame.
     
    I also had tickets for Euro 2024 but I guess it is time to resell. Another tournament watching from the couch...

    For those, who missed farewell of our very own Peter Prevc. 💙💚
     
    It was so emotional, I was there, the best part was, when singer Luka Sešek sang "Con te Partiro / Time to Say Goodbye", cover from Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. 
     
    This was Peter's only wish, other parts of ceremony were a bit of surprise even to him. 😊😇
     
    Hvala Peter / Thank you for all wonderful moments.

    It's clear these draws are not exactly random anymore. First they rarely broadcast it live these days and secondly they are not done by hand but with some automatic programme so you can easily implement an algorithm in the system - technically for more balanced draw - but in reality the algorithm will put the same names in the same sections over & over again.
     
    Not only Noskova goes into Świątek's R3 quarter again but also Alexandrova is in R4 again too as the #9-16 seed (albeit she'd have to get there first which is always a problem given her inconsistency).
