BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Various Networks, 8:00 a.m. ET

As the Group Stage continues, today we get games from Group A and Group B. Yesterday, Group A leader and tournament host Russia played Group A rival Egypt, notching its second straight outright win (and handing Egypt a second straight outright loss). Today at 11 a.m. ET on the Fox broadcast network, the remaining two teams in Group A, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia, play one another. The rest of today’s games are from Group B: At 8 a.m. ET on Fox Sports 1, Portugal and Morocco, currently at the bottom of their group, play for survival. Then at 2 p.m. ET on Fox, the Group B leaders, Iran and Spain, play (pictured), with Iran the only Group B team to have notched a win thus far.

 
  
 
 

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

How does this happen? A new episode of a TV series, arriving today on Hulu but produced several months ago, is streamed at a time when it seems impossibly, almost amazingly, timely. In tonight’s episode 10 of Season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale, June (Elisabeth Moss), very pregnant and still in her “Offred” role as an unwilling surrogate mother, finds an opportunity to be reunited with her actual birth daughter, from whom she was wrested cruelly when first captured by the overlords. When she apologizes to her daughter, now assigned to new parents, for everything they’ve endured since being separated, and for not being able to reunite with her sooner, her young daughter asks accusingly, “Why didn’t you try harder?” It’s impossible to watch that scene this week without feeling an even colder, deeper chill. But you should.

 
  
 
 

Paramount, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Kevin Costner, whose early claim to stardom came when he electrified the 1985 Western movie Silverado with his boundless young energy, returns to the Western – though it’s a modern-day one, with cars as well as horses. In this new TV series, Costner plays a widower who lords over a sprawling Western ranch and his various offspring, a 21st-century Pa Cartwright from Bonanza. It’s one of Paramount’s biggest bids for attention since rebranding itself from the network formerly known as Spike – but whether viewers will find and accept it are two very big, very different questions. For full reviews, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
 
  
 
 

IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Season 2 of Brockmire ends by giving Hank Azaria, as perpetually skidding sports broadcaster Brockmire, a great guest star with whom to play. Appearing tonight, as a pickup “date” even more out of control than Brockmire himself, is Carrie Preston, currently of TNT’s Claws, but most memorably as the wacky, wily Elsbeth on The Good Wife. Tonight on Brockmire, she brandishes attitude, a serious drinking problem – and, when Brockmire least expects it, a handgun.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.

Insanlarin zamanini çaliyorlar. Üyelik, onay, belge derken bonusu almak mucize.

Destek ekibi ilgisiz, bonusu alamayinca sorumluluk almiyorlar. Kalitesiz bir site.

Bu site tam bir karmasa. Yavas, aksak ve açikça sifir çabayla yapilmis. Bunu tasarlayan kisi açikça kullanici deneyimini düsünmemis. Çevrimiçi olarak basit bir sey yapmaya çalisirken hiç bu kadar sinirlenmemistim. Tamamen ise yaramaz ve kimsenin zamanina degmez.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

With a quick visit to the kinogoby website, I stumbled upon a collection of documentaries that promised to enlighten and inspire. Intrigued by the prospect of delving into the depths of human experience, I selected a film that explored the wonders of the natural world

Bu site, bonus saglayicisi kiligina girmis tam bir dolandiricilik. Asla gelmeyen sözde 'ücretsiz' bir bonus için çemberlerden atliyorsunuz. Tam bir çöp.
