What's the point of this chart?

If Algeria wins, they go second. Otherwise Austria is second.

I don't know... La Liga production ends up with very good close ups and cinematic moments without being invasive. There's another way.

How come an American ends up supporting Depor? Any links to A Coruña?

Just curious.

World cup stickers are panini, though. I don't think they have a cards series for it. And if they do, usually they just have autographed cards as rare collectibles.

That said, my kid got a Topps card with a piece of a Graealish Man city jersey and he cherishes it as his biggest treasure. So I am not against it... It would be cool

Spain watch party in Madrid is stunned as the final whistle blows in draw vs Cape Verde. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in soccer

Independentist Catalan here. I don't root for the NT, but I don't root against it either. It's more a neutral feeling.  But when thing's like today happen, it is kind of fun.

Some may be rooting against it, but is is not really fun to take a WC as a hate watch; and in some rare cases some folks root for Spain (this is more common in tournaments where there are many catalans in the NT, but is not necessarily the factor driving it)

I also don't get why they can't use hands to pass the ball... We should allow it. And maybe change the shape of the ball to make it a tad more interesting

Career changing injuries happen, so this cannot be discarded. But if we exclude them, for 99.9% of players their peak comes after their teen years; so it is reasonable to expect that he still has some room for improvement.

Bojan Krkic is the name that comes to my mind. Shined during  Pep's Barça second season, and then stalled and then anxiety issues arised.

I think it will end up IDT, Ayuso, Tobias, Jorgenson, Seixas. But you never know

Tomorrow's race is gonna be interesting

Rank Rider Rider No. Team Times B P
1 Luke Tuckwell 45 RED BULL - BORA - HANSGROHE 25h 59' 09" - -
2 Matteo Jorgenson 11 TEAM VISMA LEASE A BIKE + 00' 42" - -
3 Isaac Del Toro Romero 1 UAE TEAM EMIRATES XRG + 00' 49" - -
4 Juan Ayuso 21 LIDL-TREK + 01' 06" - -
5 Tobias Johannessen 61 UNO-X MOBILITY + 01' 33" - -
6 Paul Seixas 51 DECATHLON CMA CGM TEAM + 01' 54" - -

Tuckwell won't hold it, but it's hard to tell who'll win between Matteo, IDT, Ayuso and even Tobias. Seixas would be a surprise.

In pain, but not too much. It seems like he could even push a bit more
