England sitting on a lead just like they did against Mexico but Argentina are far better than Mexico!

According to the NY Times - "all the news that's fit to print" - the South Carolina Governor can appoint someone until the end of his term. He was up for re-election in November. Presumably there'll have to be a primary to get a new candidate to make it legal.

When I heard Graham's sister would take over his Senate seat I thought it was a joke but apparently they're going to go with that until the election. Bizarre.

MSM will suddenly hate VAR after that!

Just saw this on X. Fact check: Correct.

US team looks awful after one half especially in defence. Belgium should've scored one or two more. Maybe they're saving him - he's 35 yrs old - in case they need him later on for extra time and/or penalties.

Serena lost to an Australian girl in three sets. I guess she'll get more tennis in to be ready to make a splash at the US Open. Her comeback won't be successful as the game is too physically exerting for her at 44. She'll be too reliant on power.

Since I don't watch the Premier League I don't know if Haaland is someone who puts his own glory ahead of the team - I'd be surprised as it's very unScandinavian to do so - but he should've passed to an open player during that late opportunity instead of trying to score himself. Ivory Coast...

Argentina doesn't have the whitest team, but they're the least black of those with a good chance of winning.

Did you know 44 yr old Serena Williams is making a comeback? Neither did I. She's on Centre Court at Wimbledon right now - the prime time match of the day:rolleyes:

The penalties taken by black players in both the Netherlands and German squads was shockingly bad. I think someone who used to post here - maybe frederic38 from France - once said the one thing blacks might be better at than whites is penalties as they are overconfident and much of...

Now that I've watched the entire second half of the USA v Australia match I don't think the US is going to go far at this WC. They looked pretty vulnerable and somewhat lacking in discipline in that second half. Maybe the first match against Paraguay and the first half against Australia...

Nobody is saying that. Despite annoyances like the 'hydration break' almost everyone agrees the matches have been very entertaining, which is a shame as it means the 48 team format will almost certainly be kept. The before tournament fears of lots of empty seats have not materialised either -...

Hydration breaks even in an air conditioned dome stadium:rolleyes:

Worst team ever? That South African performance was woeful. Oh, and they've accused their white coach of racism.

In my case, I simply stopped following soccer. I saw the European Cup final from the 58th minute on & thought it was horrendous, not just in terms of race, but the 'entertainment' value of the match. A lot of people in Britain have started complaining about the way the game is now played. It's...

Italian Arnaldi defeated Tiafoe in a 5 1/2 hour slugfest that just ended after 1am Paris time. At one point in the 4th set, trailing 2 sets to 1, Arnaldi was also 2 breaks down, yet somehow managed to come back. I watched it on the live feed with British commentators so I can only imagine the...

Hopefully his Ukrainian wife (Elina Svitolina) gets knocked out for the obvious reason, also she's such a poor sport, refusing to shake hands with Russian/Belarusian players. Unfortunately, she's on a roll right now after having just won the Italian Open which is a pretty big tournament with all...

Canada actually played better when Crosby went out...though sometimes there's a temporary rallying effect when a key player gets injured...obviously they'd still want him back. The Czechs were very unlucky. That silly 3 on 3 sudden death might've cost them the result of a lifetime.

Andre Agassi in the broadcast booth said to former player Andrei Medvedev of Ukraine that he's sorry what his country is going through and that it needs fighters like him right now. I recall Medvedev as a player in the 90s once insisting that he was Russian, not Ukrainian. lol I know of a...

As I type this Djokovic is playing his best tennis of the year by far - leading Zverev 2 sets to 1 in the QF. Still time for Zverev to come back but I've been surprised so far as I picked Zverev to win based on Djokovic's fairly pedestrian play so far this French Open. The winner plays Sinner...

I've never understood going for the 2 point conversion before the 4th quarter. It looks desperate & can come back to haunt you if you don't convert...but I only watch during the playoffs so maybe I'm missing something.

Melbourne is known to be the most insufferably libtard part of Australia.

The half-Korean daughter of a billionair,e Jessica Pegula, lauded by the USTA as an example of diversity and inclusion (AAPI)* lost to Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus. Lots of disappointed looking black celebs in the crowd including F1's Lewis Hamilton. I'm guessing he and others were in NYC this...
