  1. Sane drifted offside, but he didn't play the ball. He let it go by him. Mueller then played in back to him, putting him onside. It wasn't a shot on goal. Had it been, I think it would have been ruled offside if the ball went in the goal as he could have been ruled as in the line of the shot, thus impeding the goal keepers ability see the ball.
  2. Davies with the assist on Kane's first league goal for Bayern Munich.
  3. Relegation battle. I hope Forest wins. Sheffield have all kinds of issues. Getting promoted may have prevented them from really crashing and burning. A lot of Championship sides spend on the hope of just getting to the Prem.
  4. England vs Spain in the Final. Australia vs Sweden for 3rd place. England's women are Euro Champs and now going for the World Cup. The men.................1966

  6. The original article is in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (paywall). https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/998012 Athletes have no reason to be concerned by their COVID-19 vaccine this winter but timing matters Amsterdam UMC’s sports cardiologists analysed studies from across the world and found no link between vaccination and sudden cardiac arrest in athletes It is now almost a rule of thumb: As soon as an athlete falls to the ground with a sudden cardiac arrest, social media is awash with claims that COVID-19 vaccinations are to blame. This was the case with English footballer Charlie Wyke, cyclist Sonny Colbrelli and, most recently, with college basketballer, and son of LeBron, Bronny James. In the view of Harald Jorstad, Sports Cardiologist at Amsterdam UMC, there is no evidence to support these claims, but timing of the vaccination can be structured to not negatively influence performance. This article is, today, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Jorstad, together with Joelle Daems, a PhD candidate in Sports Cardiology at Amsterdam UMC, analysed all of the existing literature on the topic and found no available evidence for an increase in sudden cardiac arrest or an increase in myocarditis in athletes after COVID-19 vaccination. "We analysed all of the studies we could find. Including one from Australia that included more than four million people. There researchers found that neither the rates of sudden cardiac arrest nor the rates of myocarditis as cause for cardiac arrest increased after vaccination. Myocarditis occurs most often in young people, especially in men." In rare cases, covid infection can cause myocarditis. And in even fewer cases, it can be a side effect of vaccination, and then the myocarditis is usually milder than after an infection. "Although athletes – due to their relatively young age – are at increased risk of developing myocarditis, we found no evidence in the studies that COVID-19 vaccination combined with intense exercise increased this risk even further,"' says Daems. While athletes might be hesitant to receive the COVID-19 vaccination due to performance considerations, this Amsterdam UMC article highlights that the vaccine is generally well tolerated. Most athletes only experience mild short term side effects. A study of 127 Olympic and Paralympic athletes demonstrated that only eight athletes were unable to train on the day of the vaccination, with seven of the eight resuming training the next day. Small Decrease in V02 Max “Surprisingly, we did however see a small decrease in VO2 Max in one study,” says Daems. A study from the Netherlands and Belgium demonstrated a small but statistically significant decrease in VO2 max seven days after vaccination. VO2 Max indicates how much oxygen an individual can consume during exercise and is typically seen as a measurement of endurance fitness. “The size of this decrease was very small, and it seems unlikely that this decrease has any clinical relevance. Moreover, this effect could well be temporary,” adds Daems "This, combined with the previous findings, shows us that athletes have no reason to be concerned. Although those athletes who are considering a vaccine this winter should probably do it outside of major competition periods,” concludes Jorstad.

  15. New PGA schedule for 2024. The RBC Canadian open will be played May 30th to June 2nd. Being the week before the Memorial isn't that great, but is way way better than being the weekend after The Open. In 2024, the Canadian Open will take place two weeks after the PGA Championship and two weeks prior to the U.S. Open. It will also be played one week before the Memorial Tournament, the “Signature Event” long hosted by Jack Nicklaus with which it swapped places. https://www.sportsnet.ca/golf/article/reimagined-pga-tour-schedule-brings-historic-changes-to-canadian-open/ 'Reimagined' PGA Tour schedule brings historic changes to Canadian Open
