Still wondering, what happens if - say - the local bakery from an athletes' town who sponsors him/her posts "Congratulations on a great result in Japan!" and "Proud of Athlete, you've represented your country very well!"? Does the IOC have some sort of power to force said local bakery to do anything?

Wow, didn't think we'd see meldonium of all things make a comeback

Really makes me wonder if this is (partially, of course) a Brazilian thing...it's not at all the only federation where 'unclear and questionable criteria' play a significant role

Is yesterday's 'streaker' a kabaddi player or something? What a moves https://streamable.com/5a128k

I'm already slightly annoyed that it's predicted to be at least 24-25 degrees every day for the next two weeks here, burning

Is that, however, based on 'Biles is really good' (without really taking the others in account), or based on 'Biles is consistently better than the others who will compete'? Curious what @thiago_simoes has to say about it, definitely our number one gymnastics expert

He's 5-0 in the Davis Cup so far, so that's something

Huh, who would've thought Sancho, Rashford and Saka are apparently monkeys (if one were to listen to the messages they've been sent on social media, of course). Them receiving purely racial abuse after last night is sadly probably the most expected of all things surrounding Euro 2020...luckily that's undoubtedly just coming from the loudest people, and a large majority of English fans are probably just disappointed, without that kind of bullshit. Meanwhile: Hehe.

Wow, those booing people deserved this so badly

What is it with those stupid penalties where someone stops while running?

Oh Sancho, you total idiot.

Oh Rashford, you total idiot.

RIP camera

There we go, decision of what we'll have outside of Wembley tonight: party followed by damage and mayhem, or tragedy followed by damage and mayhem

Penalties are a fitting end to this match

Like Chiellini, Jorginho got away very easily with a yellow card there.

Pickford nearly blew it right there.

Chiellini got very lucky with only a yellow there...

Runner broke onto the field But he wasn't nearly dying, so we weren't allowed to see.

Chiesa rolling around harder than a barrel down a mountain. Does seem to be game ending for him though, not good.

Italiaaaaaaaaa

Sterling again jumping straight into a defender and theatrically falling down and claiming a free kick or penalty Kuipers having none of it, luckily.

Ah, ITG, who seem to have some sort of OCD which forces them to always have to write 'here', because for some reason they think their articles are more valuable if they write them from a hotel in the city of an event Really the only sort of professional written media I know who always have to mention they are present

Well fuck
