I'll bring the game on today !
Let's talk about Football and last night Europa league results a bit.
First, there is no more French club qualified for the last 16th... very disappointing to be honest.
Now there were some surprises too ! Leicester OUT ! Napoli OUT ! Leverkusen OUT !
And it was almost roasted for Arsenal before a goal from Aubameyang at the 87th.
Amazing , see this is what I wanna see over here .
Just give some time and more people will hop on .
Tagging @leedsunited , @lebey1 , @anderssinho because they watch soccer more than me :)
smiles, thanks for the mention @amr008 I will be ready when you are @hykss.sports.
I think I have been left off the footballing charade. I never knew the Europa league was just a one-legged game of football. covid really destroying things
Wait, last year both Champions League and Europa got one-legged but this year it's round-trip games all again.
Or did I miss the memo about one leg game starting from last 16th ?
This is great :) I know you know a lot about soccer , I have invited some people over to the post , they will hop on tomorrow , I will tag you too , maybe you guys can chat about SPORTS .
Feel free to tag anybody else you know too.
Who do you think can afford to be a champion?
Hmm I'd say Ajax or Roma could grab it but my favorite will be the winner of ManU-Milan

There a tennis game currently played between Bencic and Gauff.
It's a semi-final in Adelaide (WTA 500 serie), maybe @erikah is watching it :)
Bencic just snatched the first set with a tie break (7-6).
Bencic is a good player ,. I have watched her play alongside Federer , I don't remember where or when it was .
Its already semi-finals? Damn I am missing many tournaments . I used to watch all .
Did you watch Aus Open ?
Just to follow up, Bencic won in 3 sets 7-6/6-7/6-2.
I watched some in streaming but I’m now cheering for the youngsters and they have been disappointing. The old guard is still way too strong, especially mentally.
That's amazing , congrats to her .
And yeah same here , I wanted Thiem to win it ( A Nadal fan though ) but overall a very disappointing performance from the Next Gen except for Tsitsipas .
BTW don't miss to hop on here tomorrow because I have talked to some people who are interested in SPORTS and they too will hop on itseems .
Big fan of Federer but can’t deny the huge champions Nadal and Djokovic are. Now I’m rooting for Thiem/Medvedev/Tsitsipas but they still miss something compared to those 3.
Absolutely , I agree a 100% . There is something these 3 have ( Murray did too but injury got to him ) that others don't have .
Kyrgios has a lot of talent but ridiculous attitude that is keeping him from reaching his potential.
Yep agree. I have a lot of respect for Murray and Wawrinka who both took 3 grand slams each from those giants. And at a time they were the strongest ever.
Agreed , I love Wawrinka's backhand , one of the best in the business .
@amr008 how do i join the curation trail of amr008.sports
hey there are various apps for that .
These two help you to follow curation trail .
Vijay Hajare trophy is going in India. Chhatisgadh and Baroda match was live today. Baroda won the match by 13 runs.
I’m not following cricket much but I’ve been initiated by my Indian colleagues during one of my several trips to Bangalore. I’ll try to find a pic where I’m playing and post it tomorrow ;)
Woahhh that's amazing .
BTW you want to know a thing? I live in Bangalore . Next time you visit , maybe you and I can play some Cricket :)
You gotto visit my place for sure.
Seriously ? Next time I go there you can be sure I’ll let you know and I hope we can meet !
Without second thoughts . Inform me and you can stay at my place .
How many times have you visited Bangalore?
That's very kind of you ! Usually I try to stay at the hotel just next to the techpark as traffic is just insane haha.
If I remember correctly I've been there like 8 or 9 times with my first visit in 2014.
Yes sir , I just saw that . You are from India ? Because a very few people know and talk about Vijay Hazare trophy .
Yes I am an Indian by heart
I used to read all reports of Vijay Hazare ,dileep trophy ,Ranji trophy and so on earlier, Now I hardly know who is playing in Indian National squad. Just know the Captain and Vice captain.
Same here . I just don't find time anymore to follow those . Anyway I think IPL has overshadowed all these first class cricket . Glad to have you here on the thread.
I know not many people talk about Vijay Hazare and Dulip Troffy these days. Great to connect with you on this platform
I’m not playing snooker and I suck at pool but this guy made me enjoy watching snooker. He’s a real genius !
Ronnie O’Sullivan indeed.

I don't play snooker or even watch it, funny enough I wanted to see for myself how good this guy is to deserve your praises, but lol this happened :
How disappointing 😄
My mistake to drop link from this website. Please have a look at this one:
Grasiás :)
Hehe, may not entirely know the rules if this game but it seems to me he's doing literally everything right
Oh I have watched this before , I have no idea too about the rules and stuff but thoroughly enjoyed this .
@amr.008 please send the hivetorch to someone else and don't keep it 7 days like I just did :D
I read a couple of news regarding Rooney moving from being a player to coaching, any thoughts on this one Sports men?
I mean he was a good player, a remarkable one to say, but as we know being a coach is much tougher I'd say, an example of how difficult it could be is what Lampard experienced with Chelsea, so now i doubt Rooney can do any better at this.
It's hard to tell whether a good player ( or in case one of the best ) can be equally good coach but I totally love him and would love to see him having a wonderful career as a coach .
Glad you hopped on here , the engagement project rewards quality commentors so all the effort you put will be rewarded :)
Hehe, I'll take all the extra SPORTS I can get, I mean it would save me a few bucks to buy.
Yea I suppose you're right, I honestly ain't Rooney's biggest fan and haven't really watched him play much, but if he could carry on another name as a coach, we will see.
Most of the times , good players won't become good coaches, not only in soccer but in all other sports too .
@hykss.sports what is your take on this?
Hi guys!
Thanks for the invitation @amr008.sport, I will do my best to participate and be more active here.
I like people with the initiative to contribute to the community. Lets grow together!
Yesterday my Flamengo team was Brazilian soccer champion.
The game was more tense than exciting, as the team lost and needed Internacional, the club that was in contention for the title, would not have to win their game.
Between goals canceled by VAR and penalty, Internacional was only in the tie and thus my club was champion.
It was hard to watch the game but it was really worth it hahaha ... It's been two seasons in a row, now 2021 with another championship won.
