30th June 1998: Another heartbreaking exit from a major tournament for England. In what was called the 2nd round in my day (none of this “round of 16” nonsense!), Glenn Hoddle’s men faced old rivals Argentina. The game had absolutely everything: amazing goals, controversial decisions, a red card and...

08/06/1996: The start of Euro 96. What a fantastic tournament and summer that was. Hosts England kicked it off against Switzerland. Things of note: Star striker Alan Shearer, without an England goal for nearly two years, scored to set himself up for a great Championship. Gary Neville was pinging shots in from 30 yards out. Gazza looked ready for something big. His touches and flicks looked great, and his confidence was high. Portugal’s coach, Artur Jorge, had a fantastic moustache-and-hair combo. Ultimately, though, the game finished 1-1 and the dream of a famous summer still felt a long way off.

“Is there a penalty to be paid for the massive cosplay of this guy who puts his hands up as if he is some type of blue collar oysterman, and then you find out… he’s cosplaying as a common man?” asks J. Hogan Gidley about Graham Platner. “He came off as authentic at the start,” says Kevin Walling, “which I think was what fueled his rise. But now, more and more, you’re realizing this guy’s a fraud.” #Democrats Graham Platner for Senate 2WAY

🚨David Beckham Tears Into England After Argentina Defeat: "Tuchel Has to Go" 🎙️ Reporter: "David, you've just watched England crash out of the World Cup to Argentina. How are you feeling after that performance?" David Beckham: "I'm absolutely gutted. As someone who has worn that shirt and felt the weight of representing England, this one hurts deeply. I expected so much more from this team, and I'm disappointed in what I witnessed against Argentina. There was no urgency, no identity, no fight for the badge when it mattered most." 🎙️ Reporter: "Do you believe Thomas Tuchel should remain England manager after a performance like that?" David Beckham: "Thomas Tuchel has to take responsibility. The tactics didn't work, the players looked lost, and when you're managing England, performances like that simply aren't acceptable. In my opinion, the FA has to seriously consider making a change because this cannot become the standard." 🎙️ Reporter: "What does this result say about England on the international stage?" David Beckham: "The hardest part is that it's the same story over and over again. We always talk about the talent we have, yet when the biggest moments arrive, we fall short. England as a whole has been a disappointment on the international stage for far too long.

24 year old Venezuelan illegal immigrant got a Social Security card, birth certificate and registered for school as a 16 years old This 24 year old illegal had a baby with an underage 16 year old. He broke up with that girl to date another underage junior in high school The “16 year old girl was upset and decided to tell his caregivers, the people that adopted this man, that he was lying about his identity. Therefore, the school looked into this to then find out said 16 year old was actually a 24 year old Venezuelan man. So to all you people who are rooting for the freedom of immigration, this is what you're rooting for” How did he get the social security card and birth certificate? I bet he voted too

Back when Chicago was great. The Cubs come back from behind on the 9th to beat the Braves. Shane Andrews hit a game tying home run. The pride of Joliet Jeff Reed, who grew up a Cubs fan, gets the game winning hit. Reed had a 17 year MLB career and was a first round pick for the Twins out of Joliet West High in 1980. On another note, let's make Illinois great again and flip it red.

Kickboxing Kevin loses his mind gets sprayed police get called. This one took place in orange county CA at a place called 9th round kickboxing fitness. One of their members just calling him kickboxer Kevin, came out of the gym and immediately became aggressive towards the men with cameras. Swinging his boxing gloves and yelling at the men, eventually one of the camera men pull out some spray to keep the man away. Kevin continued to advance and got sprayed. Immediately Kevin charged the camera man causing a bunch of damage to a Porsche nearby. Kevin then retreated back into gym. Shortly after police arrived and you would think they would have went straight for the man to detain him while information was being gathered. However instead they seemed completely uninterested is even finding the man. In the end all they did was issue the man a citation for the event. Blows my mind that someone could conduct themselves in this fashion and not be arrested.

Magnus Carlsen once again reminded the world why he is the GOAT. Even after a subpar start by his standards, he won everything on demand to win the Tepe Sigeman Chess Tournament 2026! Magnus entered the final round a half point down from Arjun Erigaisi. He played an amazing game to defeat Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus - a long battle which lasted more than 5 hours. He did the job, and Arjun drew his game against Andy Woodward - this meant that Magnus had to play tiebreaks against Arjun in 30 minutes! Magnus started in style with a clean win against Arjun in the 1st Blitz game. Arjun struck back in the 2nd Blitz game - it was now time for Sudden death! Magnus won the Sudden death game with the Black pieces to win the tournament - here you see his expression and sigh of relief after he became the Champion. What an absolutely amazing guy Magnus Carlsen is. When he's down, when he's tested, he always finds a way to rise up to the occasion!

Rory McIlroy was asked about how good the fans were after his round of 69 today to currently sit in T8: “Yeah, they're amazing. As I said yesterday, that's one of the biggest things I remember from being here in 2018 for the PGA was just how many people showed up and what a great atmosphere it was to play in.

#Raiders rookie WR Jack Bech tells me he doesn't feel pressure living up to his 2nd-round price tag. "I think pressure is saying the eulogy of my brother when he passed away in front of thousands of people. This is just a game." His confidence isn't shaken by having to wait for his opportunities: 'I know God and my brother have a perfect plan.'

A genuine request for help from everyone in the game. This video is from a great friend of mine and a huge positive influence on my life Eddie Hughes. He was the referee for a game where he blew the final whistle a few minutes too early and had to bring the players back out on to the pitch from the changing rooms after a lino pointed out his mistake. This was a top flight game in October 1978 Crystal Palace F.C. v Fulham Football Club He has never seen the game and would love to get a copy of the match. He is 90 next year and I would love to give him a chance to watch the game for the first time. Any help from the media would be greatly appreciated.

20/06/2000: England’s Euro 2000 campaign ends abruptly. Needing only a draw to progress, Kevin Keegan’s men led Romania 2-1 at half-time. It was 2-2 in the dying minutes… Then came the fatal mistake from Phil Neville. A needless penalty given away, a 3-2 defeat, and England were heading home. In truth, this was a tournament that exposed England’s shortcomings. Defensively fragile, tactically naïve and unable to manage games when it mattered most, they looked out of their depth at this level. So, too, sadly, did Kevin Keegan. His reign would limp on for a few more months, but Euro 2000 felt like the moment it became clear that international management wasn’t for him.

Here is video of Rory's full quotes on Bryson and the ruling. On the actual penalty: "I think there's no doubt that he improved the line of his backswing. Again, it's like, whether it was careless or whether it was intentional, I don't think it matters. Hopefully it was careless, but I think the two-shot penalty was justified for sure." Added this on everything that played out after the round: "I won't pretend to be up here and defend Bryson. I'm not particularly fond of him. I think a lot of it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention. "To hold the tournament hostage like that, and to have all of us, players, volunteers, everyone waiting on him to depart, I didn't feel like it was a great look." When asked if he thinks Bryson knew what he was doing: "I'm not in his mind. I'm not in his -- but it didn't look good."

The most controversial moments in sports. 1.) Diego Maradona, is famous for his "Hand of God" goal during the 1986 World Cup. This controversial moment happened in a quarterfinal match against England on June 22, 1986, in Mexico City. Six minutes into the second half, with the game scoreless, England's Steve Hodge accidentally kicked the ball into his own penalty area. Maradona jumped and used his fist to punch the ball past England's goalkeeper, Peter Shilton, scoring a goal. Using hands is illegal in soccer, but the referee, Ali Bin Nasser, did not see the foul, and despite the English players' protests, the goal stood. After the match, Maradona famously said the goal was made "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God." Argentina went on to win the 1986 World Cup. Maradona died in 2020 at 60 years old. In November 2022, the ball from the "Hand of God" goal was auctioned as part of a World Cup memorabilia sale.

Rory McIlroy said it, but no one is paying attention, especially those from major golf organizations and the PGA Tour board At the Valero Texas Open pre-tournament Wednesday interview Rory McIlroy said: “It will be really interesting to see how the major championship numbers fare compared to the other bigger events because there’s an argument to be made if the numbers are better and you’ve got all the best players in the world playing, then there’s an argument to say ‘OK, we need to get this thing back together.’ “But on the flip side, if the numbers aren’t as good, it’s an argument to still say we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game even if they don’t want to tune in to the four major championships.” The Masters final round ratings came out today and there is a reported 20% drop in TV viewership from last year’s final round. Earlier in the week ESPN reported that it had its largest two-day average (3.4 million viewers) for the first and second rounds of The Masters tournament since 2018. Coincidentally the first-round leader of the tournament was @b_dechambeau , Tiger Woods was back and playing decent (the first two rounds) and world #1 Scottie Scheffler was one shot back from DeChambeau. At the end of the second round DeChambeau was tied for the lead with Scheffler, and Tiger Woods made the cut. No wonder ESPN had good viewership numbers for the first two rounds. A LIV Golf player was tied for the lead with world number #1 Scottie Scheffler after the second round and Tiger Woods made his 24th consecutive cut in The Masters, a record for major championships. Then everything went downhill from there. At the end of the third round DeChambeau had faded to 5th place, 4 shots behind the leader Scheffler and at that point everyone had Scheffler as the tournament winner, which he won on Sunday. Scheffler played wonderful golf and dominated the last round of the tournament, he won by 4 shots over a PGA Tour player playing in his first ever major championship and 7 strokes over a group of Tour veterans. LIV Golf players Cam Smith and DeChambeau finished in a tie for 6th place, 9 shots back of the winner. The tournament was decided early in the final round, there were no back nine roars, and no one really threatened Scheffler’s lead. In the past when Tiger Woods had those dominant tournaments the TV ratings did not suffer. On the contrary, sometimes they increased. There are four factors for the drop in TV ratings: 1. The lack of charismatic players at the top of that leaderboard, starting with the eventual winner Scottie Scheffler and followed by a Tour rookie with a wonderful game but not much personality. Scheffler is playing the best golf in the world and is the undisputed world #1 but as we say in Spanish, he is a “huevo sin sal” (a boiled egg without salt), his game is awesome, but even with all the push from the golf establishment he doesn’t have the charisma or the “star power” of a Woods, McIlroy or DeChambeau to name a few. 2. All the analysts gave the tournament to Scheffler at the start of the week and once he had the solo lead after the third round it was over for the viewers. They had been hearing all week that Scheffler was going to win it, and the golf media did not really push anyone else. 3. The lack of LIV golfers within close distance of Scheffler like it happened on the first two rounds, and CBS not showing much of those LIV players closer to the lead on Sunday. Four LIV players finished in the top 12 but LIV Golf fans saw little of them on TV. CBS ignored the LIV fans while ESPN was showing plenty of LIV players since Wednesday’s par 3 contest, big mistake by CBS! 4. Golf is divided! Like Rory said, “we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game.” That losing interest translates to 20% less on the PGA Tour and now 20% less on the final round of a major that is considered the biggest draw. Just a couple of weeks ago the women’s college National Basketball Championship game had almost twice as many viewers as The Masters final round. Now they will try to spin the bad ratings numbers with streaming app numbers, but we have been hearing for three years that streaming numbers does not count. For them, suddenly, streaming numbers are valuable! What the major golf organizations should do is stop the pettiness, move the egos to the side, ACCEPT that your industry is being disrupted (it was there for the taking, but you guys were asleep on the wheel), listen to what McIlroy and Jon Rahm Rodriguez have to say, and instead of dividing it further, get together in a room and solve this problem at ONCE (not in a year or two to see what happens or to wait for other investments like the TGL to get off the ground), do it for the good of the game! A lot has been said about the players greed and the money talks, but the major golf organizations and its leaders (Ridley, Tiger, Whan, Waugh, Slumbers, Kinnings, Monahan/Herlihy, et al.) are the greediest and most power hungry of them all, and are doing a disservice to the game of golf.

Rory McIlroy said it, but no one is paying attention, especially those from major golf organizations and the PGA Tour board At the Valero Texas Open pre-tournament Wednesday interview Rory McIlroy said: “It will be really interesting to see how the major championship numbers fare compared to the other bigger events because there’s an argument to be made if the numbers are better and you’ve got all the best players in the world playing, then there’s an argument to say ‘OK, we need to get this thing back together.’ “But on the flip side, if the numbers aren’t as good, it’s an argument to still say we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game even if they don’t want to tune in to the four major championships.” The Masters final round ratings came out today and there is a reported 20% drop in TV viewership from last year’s final round. Earlier in the week ESPN reported that it had its largest two-day average (3.4 million viewers) for the first and second rounds of The Masters tournament since 2018. Coincidentally the first-round leader of the tournament was @b_dechambeau , Tiger Woods was back and playing decent (the first two rounds) and world #1 Scottie Scheffler was one shot back from DeChambeau. At the end of the second round DeChambeau was tied for the lead with Scheffler, and Tiger Woods made the cut. No wonder ESPN had good viewership numbers for the first two rounds. A LIV Golf player was tied for the lead with world number #1 Scottie Scheffler after the second round and Tiger Woods made his 24th consecutive cut in The Masters, a record for major championships. Then everything went downhill from there. At the end of the third round DeChambeau had faded to 5th place, 4 shots behind the leader Scheffler and at that point everyone had Scheffler as the tournament winner, which he won on Sunday. Scheffler played wonderful golf and dominated the last round of the tournament, he won by 4 shots over a PGA Tour player playing in his first ever major championship and 7 strokes over a group of Tour veterans. LIV Golf players Cam Smith and DeChambeau finished in a tie for 6th place, 9 shots back of the winner. The tournament was decided early in the final round, there were no back nine roars, and no one really threatened Scheffler’s lead. In the past when Tiger Woods had those dominant tournaments the TV ratings did not suffer. On the contrary, sometimes they increased. There are four factors for the drop in TV ratings: 1. The lack of charismatic players at the top of that leaderboard, starting with the eventual winner Scottie Scheffler and followed by a Tour rookie with a wonderful game but not much personality. Scheffler is playing the best golf in the world and is the undisputed world #1 but as we say in Spanish, he is a “huevo sin sal” (a boiled egg without salt), his game is awesome, but even with all the push from the golf establishment he doesn’t have the charisma or the “star power” of a Woods, McIlroy or DeChambeau to name a few. 2. All the analysts gave the tournament to Scheffler at the start of the week and once he had the solo lead after the third round it was over for the viewers. They had been hearing all week that Scheffler was going to win it, and the golf media did not really push anyone else. 3. The lack of LIV golfers within close distance of Scheffler like it happened on the first two rounds, and CBS not showing much of those LIV players closer to the lead on Sunday. Four LIV players finished in the top 12 but LIV Golf fans saw little of them on TV. CBS ignored the LIV fans while ESPN was showing plenty of LIV players since Wednesday’s par 3 contest, big mistake by CBS! 4. Golf is divided! Like Rory said, “we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game.” That losing interest translates to 20% less on the PGA Tour and now 20% less on the final round of a major that is considered the biggest draw. Just a couple of weeks ago the women’s college National Basketball Championship game had almost twice as many viewers as The Masters final round. Now they will try to spin the bad ratings numbers with streaming app numbers, but we have been hearing for three years that streaming numbers does not count. For them, suddenly, streaming numbers are valuable! What the major golf organizations should do is stop the pettiness, move the egos to the side, ACCEPT that your industry is being disrupted (it was there for the taking, but you guys were asleep on the wheel), listen to what McIlroy and Jon Rahm Rodriguez have to say, and instead of dividing it further, get together in a room and solve this problem at ONCE (not in a year or two to see what happens or to wait for other investments like the TGL to get off the ground), do it for the good of the game! A lot has been said about the players greed and the money talks, but the major golf organizations and its leaders (Ridley, Tiger, Whan, Waugh, Slumbers, Kinnings, Monahan/Herlihy, et al.) are the greediest and most power hungry of them all, and are doing a disservice to the game of golf.
