We can confirm that Billy Gilmour has tested positive for COVID-19.
Having liaised with Public Health England, Billy will now self-isolate for 10 days and therefore miss tomorrow’s UEFA EURO 2020 Group D match against Croatia at Hampden.https://t.co/lRNWvckqCK

What’s Spanish for ‘Not the Onion’?…
A number of Chilean football players will be fined after inviting a hairdresser into their Copa America bubble, thereby breaking the strict protocols designed to limit the spread of COVID-19, the Chilean Football Federation (FFC) said on Sunday.
The FFC said no players or officials tested positive for COVID-19 after the incident but acknowledged the error and apologised in a short statement…
The news came at the end of the first week of a Copa America that has been beset by COVID-19-related incidents.
All told, four of the 10 teams – Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela – have seen players or officials self-isolating due to positive tests.
Brazil agreed to host the tournament less than two weeks before it was due to begin after Argentina withdrew due to a surge in COVID-19 cases there…
The first big upset at the 2021 @CopaAmerica belongs to Peru ??

The Colombia-Peru highlights reminded me of the Yankees-Red Sox game in London. Still good.

Wales are traditionally seen as the weakest of the Home Nations national sides. So this is a big deal for them.

Congrats to Wales who have played valiantly in Euro 2020. Would love for them to pull an Iceland and make a run…but it gets tougher from here.
I have a love-hate relationship with the simultaneous broadcast of the final group matches; it’s the right thing to do to keep things competitive, but stinks when both games are ones you want to watch!
Anyone more disappointing than Turkey in this year’s tournament? Oof.

Why not pull another Wales, as they reached the semi’s in 2016

Scotland is likely to miss Gilmour quite a bit.
My understanding is the Germany was unlikely to face sanctions for the rainbow arm band because it was a positive message.
Hungary is being investigated for anti-LGBTQ signs and protests, while also being considered to replace London as the Final venue

Hungarian Foreign Minister whines about Munich’s plan to light the stadium in rainbow colors as a f you to Hungary’s new law about non-promoting homosexuality, etc.

Bloody hell.
In Group B Belgium went into the match with Finland already qualified with two wins, while Finland knew that a point would see them through if Russia and Denmark drew or if Denmark won, while Russia would go though if they beat Denmark and Finland failed to somehow beat the Belgians, while a draw would be enough if Finland lost. Denmark knew they had to win and hope Finland lost, with goal difference coming into it.
Currently Belgium 2-0 Finland, while Denmark are 4-1 up against the Russians.
So after their horrible first match with Erickson’s collapse and their subsequent defeat to Belgium, Denmark are going through to play Wales in the Round of 16. It’s unlikely that Finland, who held the Belgians for a long time in their game and must have thought they were odds on to go through, will qualify with just 3 points.
Wow.

@tokyokie: The Swiss at least won a game against Turkey
