    Maria Sharapova-On Top Of The World

    I don't think this should end her career. Other than Muguruza no one seems to be coming though the ranks in the women's game. Two years from now Maria will be 31 - not that old these days for a tennis player - and Serena will be 37 and possibly retired. Maria can save her body in the mean time...

    UEFA EURO 2016

    Poland were good value for the win. In controlling possession they avoided the fate of so many other teams that play Northern Ireland. The latter often win scrappy, shapeless matches in which neither team ever seems to have much possession of the ball.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    The Croats look good. They are in control but they probably remember what happened against Turkey in 2008.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    I know someone who was at the match in Marseille last night. He said on the way in there were fat drunken Russians wearing Vladimir Putin t-shirts:facepalm: trying to provoke fights with England supporters. I guess it got worse later on. No doubt the Russians will claim they are victims of...

    UEFA EURO 2016

    Based on today's matches I'd say Wales should beat Russia. I'd say the Russians might even be the weakest team in the group. England has to consider the result a big disappointment. BTW Russian and English fans are fighting each other in the stadium right now.

    Oops! Sterling, not Sturridge. I've always mixed those two up.:afro:

    UEFA EURO 2016

    Russia snatched a point in time added against an England team that was, overall, a better team. If I'm Roy Hodgson I have to reconsider Sturridge's place in the starting XI. He should be on the bench.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    I've got the South Africa v Ireland rugby match on now. I see four blacks plus I think one coloured (mixed race) out of fifteen for the Springboks. I am disappointed - they have affirmative action quotas for blacks on sports team in South Africa - but compared to the French and Swiss football...

    Romania is the only team in Group A worth cheering for.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    During the five minutes I was watching (sort of, I just had it on in the background) I assumed the team in red was Switzerland. It was only when I heard a Germanic name (Frei) for a player in white that I realised the "Swiss" are not in red! A disgusting spectacle.

    France always looks like a war zone because it is full of low IQ Muslims and blacks.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    The commentators I was listening to were the same. They said they expect Pogba to go to Man United for the biggest transfer in history.:grazy: He didn't look too happy though when he was substituted. Neither did Griezmann.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    According to British bookie William Hill the favourites to win the tournament are as follows: France 3/1 Germany 4/1 Spain 5/1 England 8/1 Belgium 11/1 Portugal 16/1 Italy 18/1 Croatia 22/1 At those odds Italy look like they'd be worth a flutter.

    UEFA EURO 2016

    After my above post I looked at the starting XI for Romania. I'm surprised to see Razvan Rat's in the Romanian defence as he's 35 years old. He also barely played all last year so he must be standing in for an injured player. My search on Rat turned up this page...

    UEFA EURO 2016

    I somewhat followed their group games because Northern Ireland were in the same group. Basically the Romanians are about defending. They only conceded a couple of goals in qualifying and didn't lose any matches. OTOH they don't have the creative attacking players that previous generations of...

    French Open 2016

    On the day the world remembers Cassius Clay Serena Williams was unable to equal Steffi Graf's 22 grand slam singles titles as she lost to Venezuelan-born Garbine Muguruza. No doubt Serena would've dedicated a win to "the Greatest". Alas, it was not to be. When she goes to the All England Club in...

    Cassius Clay

    That's why the leftist sports writers loved him. Now, anytime a black athlete or celebrity is quiet and respectful he's ridiculed as an Uncle Tom. Before Clay famous blacks tried to emulate whites. All famous blacks must act like Clay or they are not considered authentic.

    French Open 2016

    Ugh. I shouldn't have commented. Serena managed to eke out the 2nd set then the Russian collapsed in the 3rd. Oh well. At least Serena was given a tough workout that might come back to hurt her. She's not getting any younger and clearly struggles on long points. Serena's now got to come back...

    French Open 2016

    I hope I'm not tempting fate here but at present Serena Williams is down a set and a break against some ethnic Russian representing some Central Asian country. Serena is really struggling with the conditions and is now starting to rely almost exclusively on power to overcome them.

    2015 Women's World Cup

    Hollywood has so much chutzpah they'd probably make a film about it but in the movie version the women come back from 7-0 down to win it in extra time thanks to a hat-trick by an Aborigine who'd been a victim of white Australian police abuse!

    UEFA Champions League 2015-16

    I'm so tired of the bad (corrupt?) officiating in football. I heard one commentator say it was offside but too difficult for the linesmen etc to spot. Well, if that is true then obviously the offside rule should be simplified (maybe eliminated altogether when they are already in the box) or...
