England have made it through to the final of Euro 2020 (postponed because well I think you know why). In totally unrelated news I think about 3 years were just shaved off my life, so I will pop my clogs a week on Tuesday.

They face Italy Sunday to determine the Champions of Europe (my money would be on Italy)

Watching the penalty kicks of the finals right now

Looking TENSE

PICKFORD just saved the last Italian kick! Wowza

But then, the heartbreaker....

BRUTAL

Really poor second half let them back into it. I'm now physically and emotionally drained.

There there, there's always next year

On the bright side, check out this box score from the Yankees @ Astros series finale today:

This is roughly equivalent to a 3-goal comeback to win it in the last 10 minutes of a soccer match, in my estimation. I've never seen anything like it! I thought they were done for when I saw the score at 7-2 in the top of the ninth an hour or so ago.

Next Euro's is 2024

Ah well World Cup 2022 is just around the corner, should we qualify.

I also found an enjoyable baseball content in the form of Jomboy on the Utubes, his breakdowns and lipreading are amusing and informative. That and BaseballDoesntExist, who does mini-documentaries.

@Avidro have you ever checked out Blaseball?

 

[Oegyein]

Sometimes I come to this thread to remind myself that I have no idea what organized sports are and maybe someday I should learn so I don't end up at the on guy at a party who can't relate to anyone

 

[BleepBloopBeep]

I could teach you enough to hold a basic conversation on quite a few different sports.

@Avidro have you ever checked out Blaseball?

No, what's that?

 

[Jimothy]

No, what's that?

Link: "BLASEBALL" is where blaseball is played! A season takes place in one week, with 99 half-hour of simulated baseball games between imaginary teams that range from the Boston Flowers to the Hellmouth Sunbeams. It's wonderful and perfect and a very enjoyable pasttime.

@Avidro An American explanation of cricket for you.

 

[CptCascadia]

I didn't know this was a thing Link: "Eephus pitch - Wikipedia"

In this case we (in the UK are the Captain).

WOOT WC TIME!!!

England off to a good start against Iran, in a juicy group B. The only group where all four teams are ranked in the top 20. The US face another home nation in Wales later today in what is probably the tightest game to call in the group. England play the US on Friday, I might jump into VC on discord for that one.

FOOTBALL!!!

Wales USA was probably the most exciting game so far, a real game of two halves. The US were dominant in the first, then Wales were much improved in the second half.

Yay the 13 seed I picked barely won!!

March Madness continues apace does it? I've started getting into college football so I can understand the draft a bit better but I've never got into any sort of basketball.

[Zules]

I'm not really a basketball person much myself, but March Madness is just too fun to not spectate. Also, @Avidro 's alma mater and our hometown Coogs are a #1 seed

There are too many Cougars, it's confusing. My first thought was Washington State cos we had Gardner Minshew from there so I know they're Cougars but that seems far away from you so I looked up the seedings and it's Houston which makes a lot more sense.
