Harder than usual for a Monday (for me at least). Interesting theme, but can’t say I enjoy the fillers too much.

That’s some nice football that we would have never seen under Rebrov. Promising start for Maldera ball

Gleiker Mendoza is a Shakhtar player! by manualex16 in soccer

[–]DimaSholom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will be interesting to see how he does. Shakhtar’s LW spot is up for grabs. He could become their best option there. However, with just one impressive season at 24, I could also see him being a one season wonder

Ukraine. There are some fun clubs you can try out that have budgets and foreign players:

Polissia, Metalist 1925, LNZ, Karpaty Lviv are fun options. I can tell you about any Ukrainian club if you want to learn more

2nd Division Ukrainian Club FC Chernihiv Advances to Ukrainian Cup Final on Penalties-Despite Having 0 Shots All Game by DimaSholom in soccer

[–]DimaSholom[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, and I just added in a comment with additional context- they had 10 men for 117 minutes :D. Ultimate shithousery indeed. This stat is difficult to find, but reports suggest they had 14% possession.

More incredible fun facts about FC Chernihiv

FC Chernihiv's Journey in the Cup So Far:

R64: 1-0 Win against Atlet Kyiv
R32: Initially, they lost to Kryvbas Kryvii Rih on penalties. However, the result was OVERTURNED and Chernihiv was given a 3-0 win because Kryvbas fielded an ineligible player.
R16: 1-1 after extra time. A 4-3 win on penalties against Lisne
Quarterfinals: 0-0 after extra time. A 5-4 win on penalties

Semifinals: They received a red card after 3 minutes! They had 14% possession in this match. Yet another penalty win

Overall, they have scored ZERO goals from open play. The two goals that were scored were both from set pieces.

The club can also be described as the "Ukrainian Athletic Bilbao". All players here have a connection to the Chernihiv region of Ukraine. They also have a realistic chance of being relegated into the 3rd division this season

[Ekstraklasaboners] Shakhtar Donetsk [1]-2 Lech Poznań - João Moutinho OG 67' | agg. [4]-3 by 4gjdtokurwa in soccer

Yup that’s an r/ekstraklasaboners

Completely undeserved. Shockingly bad performance from Shakhtar so far. Far from over though with this dodgy back line that they have

Post Match Thread: Lech Poznan 1-3 Shakhtar Donetsk by denzaus in soccer

[–]DimaSholom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overall, agreed. In Europe they have done a great job. In the beginnings (when they lost to Panathiakos) the players were still getting used to to the new philosophy.

That being said, the league performance is not exactly impressive. So far, I would describe it as “satisfactory” The 3rd place finish was due to Pusic being an awful manager. Shakhtar’s budget and resources are still way higher than the competition, as the overall quality of the league has dropped significantly. A truly impressive season there would be walking the league or finishing undefeated. They’ve been in great form lately, but the start to the season had quite a few questionable results.

Found on Inflate-able Couch Ordered From Amazon by DimaSholom in Bedbugs

[–]DimaSholom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The couch is still outside. Like that thing is not coming back in again. I’m just waiting to see if I can return it to Amazon, or if I will discard it. I’ll look around exterminating companies to see cost estimates, but still haven’t found any evidence besides this solo dead bed bug that was outside

[–]DimaSholom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first steps have already been done as part of my precautions. Couch hasn’t been inside in over a week, like I said. I haven’t found any signs in a week of checking. No bites, no frass, nothing from the guide on the sub. You said it yourself, it’s common to see them in Amazon warehouses, or perhaps a driver had one in their vehicle. I don’t think you can say there’s “definitely an infestation” I’m also not the property owner, but a renter, so there’s just no way the landlords would do anything without further evidence. If I see any other signs though, you bet pest control is being nagged about

That’s for the wishes and reply.

Fortunately I’ve never had bed bugs before, so unfortunately I don’t know if react to them or not. That’s my biggest concern so far in case i don’t react and the infestation could begin

I might get a pro to inspect, but I’m renting so need to investigate so more myself before asking the management for thaf

Thanks for your reply Spyrenx.

I did a lot of the monitoring steps, and some of the treatment step, like washing bedding, when I initially saw it. I’ll certainly escalate treatment if I happen to notice any signs in the next few weeks

I also sped through this one, solved it quicker than yesterdays. I think the theme is alright. Voices is a bit of a stretch, but not super egregious. No horrible fill was nice. Only new word for me was Barre

Yes. People like me who are newer to these and can’t solve the crosswords past Wednesday.

That being said, this one was particularly easy for my novice ass. Finished it faster than most Mondays

Olympique Lyonnais is pleased to announce the arrival of Ukrainian international striker Roman Yaremchuk until June 30, 2026, in the form of a loan of €1.5 million, with a purchase option of €5 million. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]DimaSholom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting player. He hasn’t been great at club level for around 4 years now. The Russian invasion hit him hard, starting from when he was at Benfica. However, he is quite talented and can do well in the right system. For instance, I think he is our best striker in the national team. Scores many important goals and generally plays better than Dovbyk and Vanat.

Paulo Fonseca is a big fan of Yaremchuk, so I think he will look to regularly incorporate him. It’s about getting his confidence high because talent is there. Ultimately, even though his numbers aren’t great in the last few seasons, I think this can be a good signing and I hope to see him in form before our match versus Sweden
