Nice and colorful matchup between Turkey and Wales:
I really love this Wales away kit, even though the shirt has the tired Condivo 20 pattern. Those shades of yellow and green just work so well together, and also contrast nicely with Turkey’s all-red.
Those are some great Australian kits the Welsh are wearing.

It is one thing to come up with a different take on the kit.... but the shorts? Did the factory mix up the fabric on the production line?

This kind of ties in to the post above, but I was looking at my local WHL team Portland Winter Hawks team store yesterday and I would say the bulk of their classic logo items are on clearance. Authentic jerseys of both home and away are on sale as are replicas and nearly anything with their classic logo on it. They've been using a roundel with the letter P in a lot of ads for the the last few years. There was some speculation when they unveiled a new third jersey in Feb of 2020 that the change was coming. Adidas created a whole new set of logos to go with it (link below). They were supposed to wear the jersey in March of 2020 but with all that's happened, I do not believe it ever saw the ice. For the abbreviated 2021 season, their center ice logo which has usually been the logo similar to the Blackhawks was replaced with one of the new alternate logos that is a rose bud with a P in it. I'd venture a guess we're going to see the new hawk logo replace the old one. I'm curious if they keep the Blackhawks sweaters and then still have the all black alternate uniform, or if that alternate is the basis for their new look and we get a white version to match. Nothing has been announced, but with new ownership taking over this year, I think its probably more like than not there is a new look in Portland.

I think it is long overdue that Portland did something to distance themselves from the
Blackhawks, at least from a visual perspective

Hopefully Berhalter can get the most out of this team, because talent wise the USMNT will be there close to, or equal to, to the footballing giants by 2026.
I had long hoped the US would get to the point where they are at the most feared nation in CONCACAF and they would be serious World Cup contenders (I begrudgingly say that as a Canadian)
. I thought about that for Mexico as well , but I no longer am that hopeful.
The US now have multiple players that are at least good enough to crack the top European clubs and they are still really young. Maybe in 5 years, it will all come together. I would probably be disappointed if they do not make to at least the QF.

With probably the exception of NFL stadiums, it is probably best that arenas and stadiums be built at urban areas. A few years back, I was driving or taking transit downtown once a week on a weeknight, and, while there was traffic, it was going generally against the rush-hour flow. I would have dread it if an arena or stadium was built at a suburb on the other side of town. I would be battling rush hour traffic from people that live on the other side of town.
One thing I have noticed from some arenas is how some owners also decide to build a condo or retail tower beside the arena.
I think a NFL stadium would be only exception because games generally happen on a weekend/once a week and it's treated more like going to an amusement park. Sure, any public transit is welcome and should provide "event schedule/rush hour" level services, but, if the game is on a Sunday afternoon, you are probably going to be scheduling the whole day around the game anyways.

So where those things don't already exist, who pays for them? And why?
Four stadia in Wisconsin come to mind for this discussion. Lambeau Field, Camp Randall, American Family Filed, and Fiserv Forum. I *guess* I could drive to a park and ride a half mile from AmFam to catch a bus. But if I've driven that far, why not go the next half mile? I don't believe there's anything for Lambeau. If there is, how am I going to bring my grill and cooler to tailgate?
Obviously, each situation is different. I don't expect a Green Bay to build a light rail system for Lambeau like I would for, say, New York. It would be impractical for the other 300+ days of the year. I think what I was alluding to is the location of sports facilities should take into account how they can be best accessed from all areas of a metropolitan region. For me anyways, having some form of mass transit, even if you to drive to a station, makes a difference over if the ONLY option is a car.
I can speak only for Toronto, but I have also been to other cities, like Boston, Washington, New York, Los Angeles, and passed by areas where stadiums and arenas are located downtown and I happen to like the close proximity to mass transit at some those places.

That is probably why I am grateful the Blue Jays play where they are.
You can get there by subway (if you coming from the west end, I would recommend transferring to a streetcar at Spadina) . You get there by train from the west and east suburbs (lakeshore though) . Coming in from the northern suburbs might still be a P.i.t.A.
I also liked going to the Giants game I went to because it was near the Cal Trans station (coming in from San Mateo)?
I have driven to downtown on game nights ( not to watch a game, but for other errands). While it can be manageable to drive to and from the area during times when the Jays are not doing good, I had a not as fun experience in driving out after the 2016 wild card game.
The greater point is that, any planned sporting facility should have location and a mass transit component factored in the planning .

It becomes the Atlantic City of the west, minus all the failed Trump business ventures. That’s not political, that’s just a fact.
It also doesn’t have the boardwalk or the reputation for filth that AC has.
I would like to think Laughlin as the Atlantic City of the west.

Plus distances are much less significant out here. It’s a 250 mile, 4 hour drive, with most of it wide open highway minus food/gas/bathroom stops in Barstow, Baker, and Primm.
Yeah, I recall 26 years ago, my late uncle driving my family from orange county to ... Laughlin and stopped in Barstow. Left around 7 and arrived around midnight. California in terms of distance from west to east is not that far.
I have also done San Francisco to LA. That was longer.

Toronto and Vancouver are notable exceptions, which built up more than they built out (though the GTA sprawls quite a bit as well).
Toronto's skyline has drastically changed over the past 20 years. You see tall condos go up in the other burrows and suburbs, like Mississauga, as well. But the other suburbs are still sprawling like crazy. Unfortunately we have trouble trying to keep up with the transportation infrastructure.

The FA won't though, only because there's the extremely slim chance that Manchester City could lose every game remaining and United could win every game. Likely? Nope. They don't want City to win that way, they'd rather United lose on the field. Watching the Twitter feeds for some of these fan groups, I understand they don't like the Glazer family and never will, but standing up for the people that trashed their team's stadium and injured police and other fans just smacks of hubris. They actually threw flares at the Sky Sports crew's broadcasting booth. They're also asking for the 50+1 standard to be emplaced in English football. Good luck with that! That'll be less likely than promotion/relegation in MLS next season. These so called fans also just made Manchester United's schedule more difficult because they have to find a date that will work for United and Liverpool, because United is still in the Europa League and most likely will be in the final, unless they manage to throw away a four goal lead on Thursday.
Might as well just hand over the title to City anyways. (I say that as a United "fan". A lukewarm fan mind you, but they are the Premier League team I support)
Arsenal fans want Kroenke out, but they did not invade the pitch, park outside the team hotel and threaten media at the ground.
If these fans were so outraged over the Glazers NOW, they should have just followed the other disgruntled supporters years ago to FC United of Manchester. Or maybe they go become Salford supporters.
The 50+1 sounds enticing, but I hope these "supporters" can stomach the losses that come with trying to keep up with the City, or Real Madrid or Barcelona. We are talking about the way Bundesliga clubs are run. So yeah, good luck with that

The Premier League should award Liverpool the 3 points and a 3-0 scoreline. There was no excuse for this.

It's weird that it was the Chiefs, specifically. I don't necessarily think of them as a team that should have that many retired numbers.
I said I wanted three digit numbers... I wasn't all that serious. However, when you have a roster of 53 or so players with 99 numbers to choose from, in addition to having numbers retired, and reserved for certain positions, at some point something needs to give.

Whatever the circumstances or whatever the issues are, the responsibility should fall on management. If management promised an employee something, but fails to live up to the promise, that's on them. And if not, there should be clear communication as to why.
Yes, racial bias can be a factor no matter what the workplace. Diversity can be better achieved in a larger corporation that is visible, but smaller workplaces are not nearly as tolerant.
