Went by the club last week (as posted on ATP/WTA thread and the grounds are TINY! The club is in the middle of a neighborhood with tons of small streets coming off of the two main roads by it that say “NO PARKING / RESIDENTS ONLY” And that was just for qualifiers. Parking is on grass somewhere in the golf course across one of the main roads borders and who knows how long after the last point does it take for drivers & ride share passengers to get out of the neighborhood. The US Open & Australian Open are nowhere near residential areas and I think that the French Open is only semi-residential. Wimbledon’s practice courts back up to the back fences of houses. It makes total sense that they would have a curfew/ stopping time.

It’s nice having your national team head coach interviewing for other jobs with 11 1/2 months to go before you host a World Cup. 😅

Why would someone stay in shitty-ass northern Italy and eat amazing food and date sexy, but emotionally unstable when that person could move to central England and occasionally see the sun while counting on one hand how many sunny days they experience each month?

At least Gregg fucking Berhalter wasn’t knighted. …what a fucking joke! 👇 Sir Gareth joins the greats as football's seventh knighted manager Phil McNulty Chief football writer Published 25 June 2025 1796 Comments Gareth Southgate added his name to an elite footballing list when the former England manager received his knighthood at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. The 54-year-old, who stepped down from the England post after almost eight years following defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final, was awarded the honour for services to football. Southgate's influence, however, stretched beyond the field of play as he became one of football's most respected figures. He is only the seventh football manager to be given the honour. Southgate joins the list of knights that also includes: England's World Cup-winning manager Sir Alf Ramsey Manchester United legends Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson England, Barcelona, Newcastle and Ipswich great Sir Bobby Robson Liverpool legend and Premier League-winning manager with Blackburn, Sir Kenny Dalglish Sir Walter Winterbottom, England's first international manager, who led his country from 1946 to 1962 So what are the reflections now on Southgate's England tenure, and why has he been selected for the knighthood honour? You can let us know your thoughts in the comments section. A nearly manager of a nearly team?… CLICK FOR FULL STORY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c1ljpdn6yelo

If he can morph into a Brazilian-raised Rodrigo de Paul 🇦🇷, only without the tattoos, we could really be onto something. RdP has more soccer savvy than our entire roster combined and the heart of a lion, especially when playing for his national team. He’s a decent to strong player for Atletico Madrid, but he is an absolute god when running the midfield for Argentina. Johnny Futebol needs to learn both the leadership methods and the dark arts of RdP and he will be the first choice DM over anyone in our pool.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

I hope that they don’t give up an recruit through the bell. Perhaps that towel was their shared cum rag and things are going so well that it was time for a fresh towel. [Think about that for a minute.] I’m currently in Wales 🏴, so this hits close to home, except replace the “K”s with “LL”s and change every “U” to a “Y”. 🤘 -
I had to watch it 2 or 3 times on my phone to figure out what in the hell I was watching. Nice!

This? https://www.wimbledon-debenture-tickets.co.uk/ I may be priced out of this year’s Championships. 😳 💩

I wonder if he can learn to be better with the ball. If his touch was like it was on his goal in the last game, he could be a force at a solidly built 6’4”.

If they were looking to only sell 20K tickets/game, they wouldn’t need to have the tournament in the USA every time. They could sell 50K to 60K in Mexico and bring in the same money with a much better atmosphere.
-
How did you get your tickets? I tried to buy just a Grounds Pass around the 10th (I think) and the entire tournament was sold out. (I think that tickets went on sale June 6th. Nothing like the US Open. Also, the entire tournament grounds appear to have a footprint of about 1/3 of the U.S. Open. The grounds are tiny.

I would say that butter clarifies. -
Inter Miami played a Brazilian club in Miami (the capital of Latin America) in front of 60K fans and Seattle Sounders played the Champions League champions PSG in front of 50K at home, both very respectable numbers. Then you had a half-empty stadium and one at less than 25% capacity.

Surly headquarters for the Kentucky game?

Was running late and had heaps of luggage (to sound Australian), but I stopped by the Wimbledon grounds yesterday to check out their Museum & Gift Shop. (The qualifying is taking place across the street, or close by, so that the courts don’t get destroyed.) Old People will recognize this doll. Emma Raducanu’s US Open trophy. 🏆 Women’s undergarments over the years. Everyone had a pair of this in my class in the 7th - 9th grade window (maybe stretched into 10th grade). Trophies In 2022, they apparently dumped the whole “Miss” part of the name and welcomed in a run of Slavs. Djokovic’s run was stopped by Álcaraz. Maybe clearer here. The runs of Bjorg, McEnroe, and Becker with others sprinkled in. Different angle. Various keychains for £10 each in the shop. These tiny branded luggage tag & wallet/card holders on the top row were priced: £45 / £69 / £49 Parting shots… Less than a week away.

Source: Forest agree deal for Juventus' Weah, Mbangula Matteo Moretto Jun 23, 2025, 09:24 PM Nottingham Forest have set their sights on Juventusplayers Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula to strengthen their squad this summer, a source has told ESPN. A source tells ESPN that the English club have already reached an agreement with Juventus for both players for a total of around €22 million, but the move won't be finalized until they agree to personal terms with the two young players. The source adds that Nottingham are trying to get approval from United States international Weah, 25, and Belgium's Mbangula, 21, in order to reach an agreement on personal terms, including salary and length of contract. In addition to the potential signing of Weah and Mbangula, the source adds that Forest are also pursuing a center forward in the summer window. The two players are currently in the U.S. playing with Juventus at the Club World Cup. Igor Tudor's side faces Manchester City in their last group match and are already assured of a spot in the round of 16. Weah's participation in the Club World Cup ruled him out of contention to feature for the U.S. at the Gold Cup this summer. The Americans beat Haiti 2-1 on Sunday night to win their group and set up a quarterfinal match against Costa Rica on Saturday in Minneapolis, Minnesota. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/45570393/forest-agree-deal-juventus-weah-mbangula Normally I prefer our players to stay away from the EPL, but Weah is strong, fast, and has good size. I think that he will do fine if he ever figures out his position.

BUBLIK! My boy is on a roll! He claimed at the French Open that tennis is absolutely NOT his number 1 priority. He puts time spent with his family at #1 and tennis is his job. His ranking dropped a bit, so he’s had to play more tournaments to bring his ranking back up and make up for lower prize money. So he’s been playing a bit more and put together this run this week. He’s a threat, though Best of 5 may wear him down.

1) Looks to be about 25,000. I was thinking 10,000 to 15,000 would show up. 2) You’re white?

The buildup to the USA vs Costa Rica match is absolutely palpable! 😴 The USA v Haiti game summary called it “a sparse crowd”. What is your estimate on the attendance? Attendance numbers (even fake ones that state Tickets Sold rather that Passed Through Turnstiles) have not been posted at the bottom of the Game Summary page. …which is not ESPN’s m.o., as you can see from the Club World Cup details.

Seen on the magazine rack for sports at the Nuremberg (Nürnberg) 🇩🇪 train station about 4 hours ago…

Haven’t been following closely, so googled “Quinn Clemson” and have to agree that losing her hurts. -
Bublik is one of my favorite male players (even though he is Russian, has horrible tats, and dresses like a homeless man in most tournaments), and he is having quite a summer. Bublik was the first player other than Carlos Álcaraz to beat Sinner in over a year, or so when he toppled Jannick in the quarterfinals to set up an all Russian Final Four. Zverev (Russian born & raised in Germany) lost to Medvedev (Russian living in Monte Carlo), who now faces Bublik (Russian playing for Kazakhstan and “based” in Monte Carlo… I think) who beat Russian Karen Khachanov in 3 tight sets in a tournament (Halle?) in Germany. Bublik’s skill set & unpredictability are a perfect match for grass, especially if he is serving well.
