New developments: UEFA to hold meeting tomorrow to decide about disqualifying Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City from Champions League immediately.
Current semi-final CL teams are:
Paris SG
Real Madrid
Chelsea
Man CityThen what? PSG automatic CL winner? Or other teams to replace these 3 for the semi finals?
- This is serious.NBQ00
- holy shit, the plot thickens..._niko
- i wonder if they'll apply same thinking to Europa League (where Man Utd and the Arse are in semis)hardhat
- yeah either give it to psg or do a mini tournament with Byern, porto and dortmund with the winner meeting PSG in the finals_niko
- @ hardhat: yes I forgot to mention. Same for the EL with ManU & Arse disqualified.NBQ00
- I'm a ManU supporter, but this is bonkers. Don't we get enough quality football already? Almost too much this year.hardhat

- 'certain sports' is beach volley. if men had to play in those it would be fair.uan
- not sure what the controversy is, it shouldn't be mandated, let them wear what they want, but most recreational players choose to wear a bikini anyway_niko
- but girls gymnastics has always been creepy, never understood that uniform._niko
- @_niko well you can't really swim or play basketball in a suitgrafician
- Also in swimming, (< that is a polo team btw) you're not allowed to wear anything else because you can cheat real easy...grafician
- ...wearing a full-body swim suit that reduces friction and saves you a few seconds to even break Phelps' world record!grafician
- Also the scandal was about a team wearing shorts instead of bikinis which was totally fine in that sport's context
Pink offered to pay their fine!grafician - https://www.cbsnews.…grafician
- So no, you can't wear anything you like: https://abcnews.go.c…grafician
- The controversy is men have to wear long long shorts that stop at 10cm above the knees. Women bikinis with a max. side length of 10cm. For the same sport.uan
- When they invented beach volley the argument was to make it more attractive for tv broadcasts and it came through. It's only fair to change that rule.uan
- Anyway, imo, they should all perform naked, as it was in the antiquity.uan
- feminism used to mean the right to show as much skin as men and not be judged, now feminism means covering up as much as possible I guess. so much for progress_niko
- That only is true if you think men should be the norm, which is a unilateral idea. Feminism is more about freedom of discrimination.uan
- I don’t think the bikini thing has anything to do with feminism the movement.monospaced

Damian Lilland last night...wow wow wow!
A historic performance.
An NBA record for threes made in a playoff game.
The only player with 55+ PTS and 10+ AST in a playoff game.
- Shame they lostoey_oey
- Blazers fan and Dolla is my favorite player. He was on fucking fire, but worried that he might have gassed himself. What a waste of a performance.garbage
- This afternoon Portland has gotten clearance to up the fan attendance for game 6 in the Rose Garden, but the man looked dead after the game. Brutal turnaround.garbage
- He deserves a better team with more support. He played his heart out!Krassy
- great game... and portland might be the best basketball town in the country. love how the fans love that team.showpony
- I hope he goes to another team next season, it's a shame to perform like that and your team is dead weight...grafician
- I’m also fan of Portlandoey_oey
- Unreal number of consecutive threes, but Jokic and crew FTWMilan
- After Jamal went down, Joker looked at this season and decided to go fucking nuts.garbage
- Doom comes from the east though, I think Brooklyn is getting that chip.garbage
- oh man there was a foul too right before the last overtime. they could have won if the ref had seenBeeswax
- I know! Hope that salt hits him in the offseason and he comes back angry. Bad calls last night as well, but Jokic didn't need them. Dude is on a warpath.garbage

That Gary Neville rant reminds me of this:

Jose Mourinho sacked by Tottenham. He complained to the board of the club last night about joining the super league and 24hrs later he’s sacked.
- respect for jose! did the right thing!renderedred
- Has he ever championed grassroots football though? The ESL seems like something he'd love to be part ofIanbolton
- are you sure that's why he was sacked? ESL must be bad if it's making Mourinho look good.Fax_Benson
- he came from grassroots football, was a player in 2nd or 3rd league in portugal.renderedred
- Fax, they probably intended to sack him anyway. But now that Tottenham doesn’t have to qualify for the ESL why would they sack him otherwise?NBQ00
- Ren, i've never seen him champion youth team player development like so many other teams are doing. I don't understand his beef with Ali and Bale eitherIanbolton
- you're right ian, he is not your typical coach that's for surerenderedred
- This a distraction for Spurs supporters orquestrated by Levyoey_oey

"USA men's basketball suffered its first Olympic defeat since 2004, falling to France 83-76."
"Team USA will next play Iran on Wednesday.'

- utopian take it seriously please, what if Iran wins next game
shit just got realgrafician - • Lillard 10 pt., 3 rebound
• Durant 11 pt. and fouled out
• TWO PUMP CHUMPS!utopian - Ya what if Iran win next game?pango
- Money on Australia:
http://www.fiba.bask…...grafician - Yeah what if Iran wins? What shit got real? Huh?monospaced
- I’d put money down that ANY current NBA team would destroy any Olympic team on the planet if allowed.monospaced
- ^ Obviously. Team USA is a bunch of disinterested Americans treating it like All Star weekend. It's been pretty obvious throughout.garbage
- Going from the Bubble to the quick season, these dudes aren't concerned with Olympic gold. They get fucked up, and that fucks up the next contract.garbage
- They'll probably lose like they did in 2004, and then maybe we see a Re-Redeem Team at the next Olympics. Maybe.garbage

these greedy fucks are the reason champions league is what it is today, I say kick them all out and return to the original format of 1 single champion from each domestic league competing tor the champions league.
Let's return to the days when Celtic, Nottingham Forest, Fyonoord, Steaua Bucureșt, Aston Villa and red Star Belgrade could actually win this fucking thing and not have the same 12 club play each other over and over again ad nauseam.
- Uooh there _niko, we don't want to go back to communism buddy hehe
Romanian football is not that great anymore, but appreciate the thoughtgrafician - yeah but it could be if they were guaranteed money from competing on an equal footing in the CL, and not give 25 spots to 5 leagues._niko
- +100 _niko, but it won't happenrzu-rzu

Most of these clubs who are forming the ESL are owned by Billionaires who don’t give a crap about tradition, real competition and fans.
And clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid are deeply indebted and on the brink of bankruptcy. Which forces them to do this.
It’s all about money. And these clubs spending endlessly with poor management now have an easy way out of this financial mess.
At least in the beginning. Because JP Morgan will be throwing lots of $$ at them. Then the fans, sponsors and broadcasters need to decide if they really want this. I hope it will be boycotted.
Hopefully more players and managers will come forward to boycott this if they have the means even if it would mean them to resign.
