looks like maradona has done something really bad to admins of Daily Star , anyway this's one if the biggest fake news platforms in England so nothing really strange 

Where was the goal technology at 1966 World cup final? 

Napoli's mayor announced that he want change the Napoli's Stadium name from "Stadio San Paolo" into "Stadio Diego Armando Maradona"

R.I.P.
 
 

One of the last heroes of Mexican Race Walking, Ernesto Canto  passed away today due to liver and panchreas cancer, aged 61.
 
He was 1984 Olympic champion in the 20km event, winning gold in most major competitions during that Olympic cycle:
 
1981 World Race Walking Cup 1982 Central American & Caribbean Games 1983 Pan American Games 1983 World Championships  
May he rest in peace.

Just because Koch "made his name" in Freiburg, doesn't mean that he can't be an elite defender. Söyüncü also "made his name" in Freiburg and was one of the best defenders in the Premier League last season. Ginter also "made his name" in Freiburg and has been pretty good at Gladbach (a team that currently is first in a Champions League group with Inter Milan and Real Madrid). Obviously Koch shouldn't be anywhere near the national team (considering that he is the 6th best german central defender at best), but i wouldn't hold the fact that he plays for Leeds against him.

It feels like Loew has over-extended his stay as NT coach. I know Germany has a history of refusing to change their HC but it looks like Loew has reached the high-water mark. Defense looks suspect in particular, no offense to Robin Koch but a guy from overperforming Freiburg isn't the usual standard for the German NT (yeah, I know he's in Leeds now but he made his name in Freiburg). Other than Erich Ribbeck who was a totally unpopular choice I can't remember any German team doing this badly overall (the 0-6 score itself not withstanding).
 
Btw, Poland leads Netherlands 1-0! That's a shock given how we didn't even have a shot on goal vs Italy four days ago!

Ecuador defeated Uruguay 4-2 before and now they defeated Colombia 6-1 WOW ! hopefully they won't choke like 2018 after they made 4 victories including Argentina and then failed to qualify to WC very wild FIFA date today 

Yes I think so, our wrestling federation usually publishes all letter they receive from UWW and they have some guys inside UWW, I assume they would know about it if UWW has another plan.
 
they started the training camp for this WCh and tested everybody before the start but apparently one of the wrestlers was infected (and we know tests are not 100% accurate) and almost the whole Greco squad plus some freestylers got infected. as far as I know they are all OK and showing minor symptoms,  only the Greco head coach had to be hospitalized for couple days. Iran won't send a full team to this World Cup in Belgrade but they said it's possible to send some few wrestlers. since this is not a World Championship anymore, I assume most countries will do the same. even though I read on Russian websites that Russia will send the A team.

no as far as I know. in Iran they sent everybody home and closed the training camp (also because almost everybody inside the camp got the virus ! )
 
you heard something about it ?

Congrats Serbia total domination 

yes yes Perez keeps on 2nd and lecler lost it all in the last point of the race very unlucky 

Congrats to Lewis

A little bit at one point, but after that it was mostly just cruising past the other Mercedes and then to the finish with a second Mercedes to back him up if needed.
 
He didn't really make any significant mistakes, so combined with having a good car that makes him the deserved winner.

If someone is interested, here is my personal voting:
 
 Kazakhstan - 12
 Romania - 11
 Canada - 10
 China - 9
 Serbia - 8
 Spain - 7
 Tunisia - 6
