On the bright side, that means they won't both be in the World Cup

Go Switzerland, because Switzerland Go Croatia, because Greece Go Ireland, because Ireland really deserves some 'revenge' after France stole their place in the 2010 World Cup Go Sweden or Italy

At least one of his protests was against Pussy Riot being in prison, that's some positive points for him

At last night's talk show, we were shown that the Netherlands can still go to the World Cup and being eliminated means nothing They had several good options. Option 1 - Pretend to be Belgians 1. When Belgium goes to Russia, their bus will drive via Prague, as shown in the spoiler below 2. Near Prague, there's a tunnel, where one is always in a traffic jam, and that's our chance; 3. We hijack the bus, put on some Belgian clothes and ride on to the World Cup 4. Work on the accent and nobody will figure it out Option 2 - Remove Iceland 1. After some checking, it turns out Iceland is actually an island and has no physical connection to any large land mass 2. This makes way to the option of attaching Iceland to some big boats and pulling it away 3. Pull Iceland all the way to Florida so it's part of the US and, since the US didn't qualify, a spot in the World Cup has now opened up! Option 3 - Kiss Russia's ass 1. Next year, the Netherlands will be in the UN Security Council, which opens up this entire option 2. We'll promise to vote for whatever the Russians vote for if they let us go to the World Cup Option 4 - We grab that World Cup 1. We're going to the World Cup Final and we're going to take the Cup 2. They always place the World Cup close to the field, which is our chance, since we've all bought tickets for the final 3. Rafael van der Vaart will act as a distraction for the fans 4. Arjen Robben is really fast. He'll dress up as a fan and outrun everyone to grab the Cup 5. Once we've got the Cup, a gold-painted Wesley Sneijder will be put down there as a disguise for the Cup, so nobody will notice the back switcheroo And that is how the Netherlands might be elimited, but is not even close to being out of the World Cup

That's the vote that's actually important

Well, here we go, they made a short video about this week's competitions in São Carlos http://g1.globo.com/sp/sao-carlos-regiao/jornal-da-eptv/videos/t/edicoes/v/etapa-do-circuito-brasileiro-de-roller-ski-e-destaque-em-sao-carlos/6217898/

A video on Brazilian TV about the rollerskiing in São Carlos http://g1.globo.com/sp/sao-carlos-regiao/jornal-da-eptv/videos/t/edicoes/v/etapa-do-circuito-brasileiro-de-roller-ski-e-destaque-em-sao-carlos/6217898/ Including a screaming Bruna at the finish, some images of the Paralympians etc

Too bad Salcedo didn't start, so there was just one real competitor against her and apparently Gabi wasn't good enough (yet, she will be) to really challenge her today. But still, a win is a win

264 today

By the way, that is again a rather impressive performance from 16-year old Thomaz Moraes, considering he's not going for the Olympics, but the Paralympics

If the heat doesn't kill them like it almost did today. I guess tomorrow it should be a bit closer, since everybody will be more used to the rollerski's they're using (organization provides them and then they have a draw to decide who gets which pair). Meanwhile Victor Santos seems to be dealing the final blows to Lucão in the fight for the Olympic ticket. In the women's race, Bruna was in destruction mode today https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/results.html?sector=CC&raceid=29688 She would have placed 11th in the men's race with this time, but probably even higher since the women had slower wheels than the men. More good news, there are two very young Brazilian girls who had their first FIS competition today. No world-class FIS points of course, but they just barely started training so it's a start and actually the first new young girls in Brazil since Bruna in 2014/15

Well yeah, but I don't want to have to make extra clicks just for a quick look on the schedule, that's not useful Oh yeah, I forgot about the daylight saving time Oh well, I'm sure this thread will be kicked up well in time for the races

Also, I'm still furious that IBU doesn't want all quota places to be used, this is such a ridiculous change to the qualifying rules. F*ck you, IBU

Already my favourite thread of the Olympics (well, apart from 'special threads' like supporting an exotic nation of course) And to make it quick and easy to find at the beginning of the thread, here's the competition schedule in local time, if I'm not mistaken take 7 hours off for Central European Time.

It's getting interesting in Istanbul

Hey I just notice now Luka Doncic is playing in this match, cool (I had the sound turned off earlier) During Eurobasket I saw he played for Real, but I forgot

Well Anadolu - Real isn't much more exciting so far

You thought CSKA would destroy them, Milan leads 22-10....do you even know if there's air or sand in a basketbalball?

Alright then, here we go, thanks

Next question, I'm a basketball noob: should I start with Anadolou Efes - Real Madrid or with CSKA Moscow - Olimpiano Milano?

I had never heard of it until yesterday when I saw on Flashscore that it showed EuroLeague, then I googled it and I was like, "damn, that sounds like one seriously awesome station that I really wish I would have at home"

To start off with a question: I saw SportKlub apparently shows a buttload of basketball, including the EuroLeague, anyone knows where to find an online stream so I can have me some EuroLeague today?
