Meanwhile, back on the continent…
Minor sports focus here for a while. Why? Simple. I’m avoiding doing any meaningful work.
And with two baseball posts in a row, its time to return to the fitba. The “Matt’s favorite team roundup” will now commence.
Hearts have made a good showing, beating Hibernian 1-0 in the Edinburgh derby, which helps keeps them 9 points in advance (and brings a measure of pride, even if the game sounded crappy as hell). They’re still 6 behind Aberdeen for third, which could be made up without too much difficulty. And it looks like Frail is in line for the head coaching job, which could be good. Former Hearts player, a Scot; he could help settle some of the internal strife. And Romanov may be considering adding 6 high profile players in the off-season, so that could also help.
Newcastle is….well, solidly mired in 11th. And they just lost to Man City. And Michael Owen is still not back. At least they’re not being relegated, I guess.
AC Milan is also sorta middle of the pack. Ugh. Though, on the upside, they did tie Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final. Which, realistically, they should have won. They lut up a late goal which they shouldn’t have conceded, and then were handed a penalty they didnt deserve to go up 2-1. Then they let up yet another goal that they should have stopped with literally seconds left. So they drew a game they should have won, at home. Now they need to win, not draw, in Munich to proceed. So, if you want to call that a good result, then sure, something good happened to one of my other teams.
Oh well, I guess its back to baseball for the time being.
