Oooooo vamos river plate!!, river plate, river plate, i will never fogert this epical and  historical game.

River Plate is 2018 Copa Libertadores Champion after defeating Boca 3-1 after over time 

that was not his way to celebrate, it was the guy behind him who lowered his pants and then touched his ass 
 

Best goal celebration of the year  
 

Sampdoria's Riccardo Saponara celebrating 99th minute equalizer against Lazio last night 

Not surprise. Best Chinese player Zhu Ting is member of Vakif.

Last night Atlanta won the MLS final against Portland. It was live on Eurosport as MLS usually is, with a commentator who's been doing it for 20-25+ years....but last night he was either ignoring the match on purpose or he was just drunk. I watched it this morning and I have never in my life heard a commentator talk so much nonsense and so little about the match  
 
I heard him recite a poem about death, stories about Garibaldi, nickel mines in Canada, dirty clothes in the dressing room in his own time as a player, 90 minutes of anecdotes about his life in the football world and the 1-0 was only briefly mentioned..."this is the guy that has the annoying habit to score when I'm talking" and then he went on with his story about referees. The 2-0 was 100% ignored, he did not mention a single word about it.
 
He is now fired, although it's not sure whether he was already fired and he did this out of revenge, or he got fired because of this.

yeah, in Madrid finally she lost to Laura Pasqua (ITA) in the pool final...
Pasqua that here lost in round #1 to an unknown Japanese girl...

World Championships are gone, Premier League is over...but the year 2018 still has something to show in Karate...
 
it's the Shanghai stage of the Karate 1 Serie A (2nd tier competition behind the K1 Premier League)...
 
and because this tournament is going to award some useful points in the race towards Karate's Olympic debut in Tokyo, many "big names" decided to take part, despite the unhappy period chosen for it...
 
by the way, this is a recap of today's action (Gold Medal matches only, as the repechage trees have not been completed -or at least, there's no result for them on the WKF website)...
 
women's Kata: Viviana Bottaro vs Sandra Sanchez Jaime
women's Kumite, -50kg: Bettina Plank vs Gulsen Demirturk
women's Kumite, -55kg: Fumika Ishiai vs Anzhelika Terliuga

men's Kata: Damian Hugo Quintero Capdevila vs Yuda Ahmad Zigi Zaresta
men's Kumite, -67kg: Vinicius Figueira vs Alì Ismail

No other results are important.
Only results from the legendary WCH in Ashgabat count.
 

Luka Modric wins the Ballon d'Or 2018 
After ten years of Ronaldo or Messi winning "the golden ball", Modric becomes the first to break their domination. Luka Modric becomes the first Croatian player to win the award. He also becomes the second oldest winner of the Ballon d'or at the age of 33, (Stanley Matthews won it at the age of 41 in 1956), and he beats Fabio Cannavaro with 4 days.

our footballers paly well outside the country and bad inside
as Berraf said they are doped there and clean here

Good, the Dutch team's first opponent is some mediocre Division B opponent.

Egypt and South Africa are biding
there is no Morocco

They usually concede lots of goals against european teams so it's not shocking to me. I predicted 5 goal difference 
Anyway they came here to play Pakistan and try to get a result there.

The Chinese men's hockey team is now in a tight budget.
 
The national team has no money to train and compete. (They even gave up the Asian Games)
 
The World Cup is the Neimenggu team representing the Chinese team.

Congrats for this big achievement  

Hispanic final between  and

Ajax qualified to R16 for the 1st time since 2005 

FC Porto and Schalke really are the only realistic 'average' opponents by the looks of it, so that's gonna be tough  

And with one match to go even, what is happening

Congrats, Ajax.
