From June 29th, 2024. He was playing in an exhibition match for the team of the Presidency against a team of (ex-)professional players from Burkina Faso. The team of the Presidency won 3-2 with Traoré scoring twice. This was a return match from the first exhibition match in 2023, where the team of the presidency won with 3-1, with Traoré scoring twice as well. https://burkina24.com/2024/07/07/football-lequipe-de-la-presidence-du-faso-triomphe-des-footballeurs-professionnels-par-3-buts-a-2/
Champions of Russian ice hockey!
Don't know how many people here watch basketball, but it's definitely my favorite sport. The one thing that I think has lacked in the NBA specifically is actual analytical content that breaks down plays and explains high level things. Sure there are some YouTube channels that do it but they don't have that much reach and so the media surrounding the NBA is just focused on narratives and drama. I watched this episode, and I'm really excited about the future of it cuz this is exactly what I want out of a basketball podcast and I hope it reaches a wider audience within the basketball community.

They weren't founded as a left wing club but their supporters are very left wing nowadays.
Mine is Ajax, but also consider myself a fan of Tottenham Hotspur and FC Copenhagen.

"Pulling for you." > > The real life Gilmore, who was born Landon James Gilmore, expressed excitement at getting a response from the movie star. > > "My life is complete," he replied. > > Live Leaderboard: US Open Tournament Scores, Schedules, Pairings and More > > Per Golf.com, Gilmore, who attends Indiana's Bloomington High School South, earned the nickname "Happy" as a child because he can hit the long ball like Sandler's character. When he was nine, he won a long-drive contest at a junior event. > > The name stuck and the senior plays it up. He enters all tournaments using the moniker and even posed for a picture wearing a Boston Bruins jersey like Sandler's character. Unlike Sandler's character, Gilmore does not play hockey. > > Gilmore said people still get fascinated at his name, but he's risen on his own merit. Earlier this month, he tied for seventh in the Indiana high school state championship and helped his team to a fourth-place finish. > > “I don’t think it adds any pressure to me,” Gilmore told the IndyStar. “But I do know that whatever I do is going to be seen. Especially as far as leaderboards when people are scrolling down and see ‘Happy Gilmore’ they are going to look at it, obviously. So I do know that, but I don’t let it get in my head or that I have to play good because of it. I just go out and do my thing.”
From live sports not being broadcast due to the broadcaster not having the rights in your area, to live broadcasts being bombarded with advertisements, to leagues deciding against putting a team in a city because it's not profitable enough even if the sport is popular in the city (see Quebec in the NHL), to rich leagues from the global core stealing all the talent from the rest of the world leaving competitions in the global south worse off. I could go on and on.
All the hockey subreddits on Reddit are focussed only on the NHL and there's no place to discuss non-NHL hockey. That's frustrating since there's a lot of good hockey being played elsewhere especially in the KHL, SHL and DHL. Does anybody want to discuss non-NHL hockey here? What are some teams you support outside of the NHL?

“Argentina and Brazil don’t play games at a high level to get to the World Cup. Football is not as advanced as it is in Europe and it shows when you watch the last World Cups.”

Systematic African athletic talent migration to France bears considerable semblance to the broader economic imperialism of the colonial era in that it involved a hegemonic nation utilising its privileged position to exploit colonial areas by locating cheap resources, in this case the athlete, for manufacture and consumption elsewhere. Indeed, the role of the authorities in facilitating the development of the game in the first instance and later in attracting talented African athletes to compete under the French tricolour represents a clear example of French imperialism and as such is indicative of the extent to which the mechanics and rationale of the diffusion of football to Africa was grounded in colonial doctrine.
Liverpool are still in it imo, also want them to win so much more than city lmao
I'd love to learn more about the history of chess in the USSR from their perspective.
