Miami commissioners have given the approval for the sale of the 3 acres of land needed for the Beckham MLS Stadium.  So it looks like it's finally going to happen.

Anyone else following the UEFA Under 21 Championship? Kind of a weird mode, 12 participants in three groups, only group winners and best runner up advances. This means semis were two first places meet each other while the best runner up meets one group winner.

All I know so far is asensio's hat trick was pretty great.

Looks to be an interesting tournament so far. 

On the awkward-news-front, the German Regionalliga Südwest, which is one of the five fourth divisions which are divided by regional aread, will be joined by a non-competitive Chinese Under 20 selection as "20th team". The plan is for them to play 38 friendlies. Waldhof Mannheim, who used to be a pretty big club, already stated to play another club which was relegated the previous season instead. Shitstorm has already started. The whole concept is part of a German-Chinese-Football-cooperation.

Speaking of Chinese footballing calamities, has anybody else seen the Oscar incident? Hilarious. Adding to the joke is an 8 game suspension for Oscar for kicking the ball at two opposing players. Whut?

Awesome news. Cincy has pulled some spectacular crowds and this should be no exception.

FC Cincy's become the darlings of the local TV sports reports. Seems like they get as much screen time during the local news as the Reds and Bengals these days. ESPN2's quite a jump up from only being on the local Sinclair affiliate that's been showing the Saturday games.

Luis Robles is the only guy today who shouldn't be fucking ashamed of his performance tonight. Heartless gutless fucking disgrace. And Sascha is Old Yeller after getting rabies at this point. He's so done it isn't even funny. Getting rid of Dax may top firing Arena as dumbest move in team history.

Are Spain closing in on being to fans now what Brazil was in their heyday? It's just good player after good player after good player that keeps coming now. They may never match the three major trophies in a row (maybe no one will), but man they are going to be good for a long, long time.

Since I had followed football, Spain always had amazing youth teams performing great at tournaments. Whether they will be great at senior level or not really depends on how they'll be implemented later on. Last Euro still seemed to be dominated by those players left of the "hattrick heroes", and they looked old against Croatia and Italy. The next tourney might be entirely different, though.

German U21 takes the Euro-Title with a 1-0 win over Spain in the finals. Happy for the boys. Considering the Confed Cup squad is quite young on average aswell, there might be some good adjustments to come over the next years. Now, if only footie could stop being such a corrupt shitshow...

BTW great job by the MLS schedule maker to have two of the three Canadian teams play on the road today. It's not like today is a national holiday there or anything.

Also I hope the hoops crush Linfield and piss all over the disgusting vile scum who support them in the process. Afterwards I also hope they dedicate the win to the memory of Belfast Celtic.
