Fun stuff hapenning already

I see there is no age limit in table tennis.

The World Cup starts with the ever so exotic players / nations.

You guys don't know what "genious" situation there is in our football championship now. This season there was a new "spectacular" formula with playoff rounds and elimination matches. The last quota for the Europa League should be contested by the third placed team of the championship round and the winner of the relegation round groups. As to bring some drama for the whole season. But the second placed team CSKA 3.0 was banned from UEFA for 2 years (which was know by everyone, for over a year, that they would not get a licence and the union did nothing) who are now going to appeal to CAS. And with CSKA not officially banned yet, even though they 99,999% will be, it brings us to this brilliant crossroad. They 3rd placed team would proceed with the playoff and could lose their Europe spot, but the 4th placed team gets and automatic quota. Genious

Spoiler alert: A joint application will win

Time for Klizan to stunn Murray I'm betting on you Martin.

Well that guy is an idiot.. If it was one time it could pass as a joke in the moment, but he went overboard. These things can work in bars, but dipshit you are on live TV and in todays world this will go viral in minutes.

I'm going to dust off this thread and say that this week are the World Championships in Dusseldorf. The qualifications are done and today starts the main competiton. Laola1.tv has live streams from all tables for anyone interested.

Konta losing is a win for the sport, such a nasty player. A shame that womens tennis is in such a low and she can be top 10.

Well, that was anticlimactic..

Alonso leading the Indy 500, shit is getting serious

Has there been a bigger flop player than Kerber. She has been shit for 8 months and is still number 1

Time to get every womens match wrong now.

Kvitova was very good given her situation and not playing a match the whole year. Shame on me for thinking she would be a zombie.

The battle for second place tomorrow will be severe. Quintana should be worried for the podium forget the pink. No one is coming close to Dumoulin. They had multiple chances this week and blew them all.

Dumoulin survived today.

Katusha of all people making things interesting. Zakarin to shock win the Giro

I always chuckle when i see the WTCC race at Nordschleife being only 3 laps.

A, don't mind me, i will probably fill it tomorrow. Just wanted to inform you in case you thought it started on monday like the other Slams and to have more time for users to see it too.

I continue to see people say that Pinot has a good TT and i continue to wonder why? I haven't seen him do better than other favourites on any TT in a serious race and one that isn't a 10km prolouge. @heywoodu you can't seriously say that Pinot has a better TT than Nibali. Even if Nibali's so-so form i still expect him to beat Pinot in the TT.

One solid attack would have made wonders for someone, but everyone seem so tired. It's amazing to see favourites like Quintana and Nibali not being able to distance second tier GC riders like Pozzovivo, Zakarin, Mollema, Yates. Tommy Gun looked spent at the finish, but they would need another minute+ on him tomorrow, and Nibali even more, before the TT. He just needs to hang-on. Nibali also will need to find some additional seconds on Quintana, because 40 wouldn't be enough even with Quintanas awful TT. 20-25 should be the range for him to get infront on sunday.

@tuniscof if you are planning a Roland Garros contest, it should be up ASAP, because play starts on sunday morning for it. The draws are out !

Nibalis third week super-form is non-existent this year. He hasn't shown progress all Giro..

Pretty much. No one has the legs even if Dumoulin is in striking distance. Well except Pinot
