Italy had no trouble with Turney in the Euro Cup opener, dominating play throughout and ringing up three goals, putting the world on notice that the traditional soccer power is back after missing the last World Cup. Ciro Immobile was the catalyst for the Azzurri, forcing a Turkey own-goal and then coming back for a sweet goal off a rebound from the goalie.
Elena Rybakina knocked off Serena Williams in straight sets in the fourth round of the 2021 French Open. The 39-year-old Williams is still trying to match Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slams.
Let’s face it. Jim Harbaugh has been a disaster at Michigan despite the huge expectations. He can’t beat Ohio State, and the Wolverines are no longer a top-tier college football program.
Can Harbaugh save the situation? It’s doubtful, and Paul Finebaum explains it well in the video above. And as he points out, many Michigan fans have had enough. It also appears that Michigan is having a problem with the number of players entering the transfer portal.
After the failed Tom Herman era, Steve Sarkisian has been given the Texas job with the challenge of elevating the languishing program. Sarkisian had an amazing run with the Alabama offense for the past two seasons, and he’s always been a great offensive mind.
But Tom Herman had similar qualifications, coming off a National Championship at Ohio State in 2014. Yet he had real issues on both sides of the ball.
Paul Finebaum rips the program in the video above, basically saying that Texas isn’t relevant these days. He explains how the billionaire booster program is a real problem at Texas, so much so that Nick Saban didn’t want to go there.
Texas has a tough schedule this year, so Sark may have a rough start with his new gig, and then the pressure will mount.
