⚽️ 3:00: Canada – Chile, Copa América 2024, Group A. 3rd round
Intrigue: will the Chileans leave the Copa América after the group stage?
The Chileans did not have the best start to the Copa América. Two games, not a single victory, not a single goal scored. At first, the Chilean team played a boring match against Peru (0-0) and then could not face Argentina (0-1). The Copa América has fewer teams (16) than the Euro Cup, and only the two best teams in each group advance to the round of 16. The Chileans will maintain their chances of reaching the quarterfinals only if they win the last round of the group stage. The Canadians lost the first match against Argentina (0-2), but then defeated the Peruvians (1-0). If they win the final round, they are guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals. If Canada is tied on points with Peru, the goal difference will have to be calculated.
The goalkeeper carried the Chileans in round 2, but that was not enough:

Intrigue: Will Argentina get first place in the group?
The reigning Copa América winner began his title defense with two victories. First, the Argentines beat Canada (2-0), and then they put pressure on the Chileans (1-0), scoring a goal at the end of the match. Argentina will surely play in the quarterfinals, but has not yet secured first place in the group. To do this it is enough not to lose in the final round. If Argentina and Canada have the same number of points, the goal difference will have to be calculated. If the Peruvians do not beat their rival, they will definitely leave the tournament, since they will not surpass third place in the group.

👊 5:00*: Ian Harry (Ireland) – Michael Page (England), UFC 303
*Battle time may change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: How will the battle of the UFC’s new trash talk kings end?
On the night of June 29-30, a major tournament numbered UFC 303 will take place. One of the most interesting fights will surely be the fight between Ian Harry and Michael Page. The Irishman is often compared to Conor McGregor and is considered his heir. He remains undefeated and is literally racing towards the championship belt. But now a Briton who recently found himself in the best league on the planet has stood in his way. He used to be a Bellator superstar and is now quickly conquering a new promotion.
The Irishman draws attention both inside and outside the octagon:
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Harry is considered a McGregor copy, but way cooler!
👊 7:00*: Alex Pereira (Brazil) – Jiri Prochazka (Czech Republic), UFC 303
*Battle time may change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: will the champion keep his title?
At the same tournament, Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka will compete in the main event of the evening. They will have a revenge. In the first fight, the Brazilian turned out to be stronger and knocked out his opponent. And now the Czech will try to take revenge and take the championship belt from him. Both fighters are considered strikers. So it’s hard to imagine the fight still reaching a judge’s decision. The case will most likely end early.

🏉 12:00: “Enisey-STM” – “Strela”, Russian Championship, 17th round
Intrigue: Who will finish the regular season first?
In the penultimate round of the regular season of the Russian Championship, two leaders will face each other: Krasnoyarsk Yenisei-STM and Kazan Strela. Kazan is still lower in the standings, but it also played one match less, so there is a high probability that the winner of the final match will finish the regular season in first place. Until recently, Yenisei was considered the clear favorite, but recently Strela has improved significantly: it collected trophies and beat Krasnoyarsk in the first round. Therefore, it is unlikely that anyone will dare to predict the winner.
Recently Strela won the historic Super Cup:

⚽️ 13:00: Qingdao West Coast – Shanghai Shenhua, China – Super League, Matchday 17
Intrigue: Will Slutsky’s team extend its unbeaten streak?
Leonid Slutsky’s team has not lost a single match in the Chinese championship (12 wins, four draws). An excellent indicator, but for now these are the numbers of the second club in the tournament. And all because Shanghai Port scored two more points. “Qingdao” also currently occupies second place in the table, but only from the bottom. In the last five matches the team did not manage to achieve a single victory and suffered four defeats. On paper, Shanghai Shenhua is considered the undisputed favorite, but what will happen on the field?
Slutsky had an interesting dialogue with Golovin:

And now the big question: will anyone be able to compete with the current world champion in Sunday’s race?

Intrigue: Will the English make it past the first round of the playoffs?
The English took first place in their group, but their game was mercilessly criticized. Head coach Gareth Southgate takes the brunt of the boring football the team is showing. The English started with a victory in the match against Serbia (1-0), after which they shared points with Denmark (1-1) and Slovenia (0-0). However, five points were enough for the first place in the quartet. The Slovaks took third place in group E, where all four teams scored four points. As a result, additional indicators were used and the Slovaks reached the round of 16. In the group stage they beat Belgium (1-0), lost to Ukraine (1-2) and drew with Romania (1-1).
English footballers swear on the field:
Conflicts in the England and France national teams, horror in the fan zone and anger from Tedesco. What is happening in the Euro?

Intrigue: Will Georgia bring another surprise?
Georgia is one of the revelations of the first half of the Euros. Willy Sagnol’s team has made it to the round of 16 for the first time in history. Georgia lost to Turkey (1-3), but then drew with the Czech Republic (1-1) and defeated Portugal (2-0). They will now face the Spaniards, who have the most points in Group B. In addition, Luis de la Fuente’s team did not concede a single goal. They consistently beat Croatia (3-0), Italy (1-0) and Albania (1-0). The Spaniards have already faced the Georgians in qualifying for Euro 2024 and left their opponents no chance, 7-1 and 3-1.
