Tennis, Wimbledon
Football, world cup?

USA vs BiH (B&H) soon?

Djokovic playing very well vs Tsitsipas but Stefanos clearly lacking confidence.

Sabalenka's title to lose after the fist two rounds?

Apparently Djokovic didn't mess around today?wish I had seen the match.
Work for ya.

USA now up 2-0, this one is over. Even with +1 for BiH. I know many
Bosnians, very cool people.

I don't know jack about soccer, but am enjoying (a lot), the World Cup.
Best part is thinking like we did during the Cold War and choosing a
nation before the match begins...

Interesting and thought-worthy observation, Scall.

I think "clan" loyalty manifests itself this way. It's rudimentary at
this stage, but there and needs a bit of recognition.

A few years ago in the nation's league final, Mbappe scored a goal where
he was offside but the last touch was off the Spanish defender, not his teammate, so it went to VAR and the goal stood. Now a few years later,
same situation but the goal disallowed.

No consistency.

Would have been great to se a penalty shoot out - we?ve won all 4
previously at WC.

Ah well, go the Socceroos!
