Germany now look like they could go far this Summer, and Portugal might not even make it out of the group stage should France have anything to say about it on Wednesday. Portugal scored a fantastic goal on the counter and a chaotic goal from a set piece. Germany’s four came from unlocking Portugal’s defence after figuring out they’d have to win the game on the flanks.

Punisher—One Year Later
One year later, Phoebe Bridgers’ 2020 sophomore album Punisher is still as viscerally relatable as it was a year ago. The soundtrack to many anxious millennials’ global pandemic Year One, it can also be the soundtrack to a much brighter Year Two.
A Dynamic David Alaba and How Austria Scored Their Second Goal Against North Macedonia
In the game between Austria and North Macedonia, David Alaba lined up in an odd position—the middle of Austria’s back three. Throughout his career, Alaba has played every position on the left flank, and made his name as the first-choice left-back for many title winning Bayern Munich sides.

Jish’s May Album Rotation
Welcome to Jish’s Monthly Album Rotation. Four albums I’ve been listening to the previous month and my reviews of them. Some new, some old, some good, some bad. A mix of genres with some albums coming with tons of hype, and some that not as many people have heard of. Here is May 2021.
Traveller (2015) – Chris Stapleton
Chris Stapleton touches a range of country subgenres on Traveller to deliver a debut studio album that gives a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Traveller lives up to its name as it travels throughout the South’s many genres of music. From old-school country, to contemporary country rock, to outlaw country.
The Off-Season (2021) – J. Cole
On The Off-Season, J. Cole puts an end to the “triple platinum with no features” streak in a hit and miss fashion. The Off-Season features the most collaborators in J. Cole’s discography, including a variety of producers in addition to the guest verses and vocals, and this makes for a record that reaches audiences beyond your typical J. Cole stans.
Daddy’s Home (2021) – St. Vincent
St. Vincent teams up with super producer Jack Antonoff to create a ‘70s infused record that despite diverting from the sounds of her past records, comes out as a sonically pleasing and effective homage to the era of its inspiration. St. Vincent trades the booming electropop synth anthems and subtle piano ballads of Masseduction for swirling sitars and psychedelic orchestral arrangements.
SOUR (2021) – Olivia Rodrigo
Miss Olivia Rodrigo delivers a carefully planned debut record full of heart-wrenching lyrics with SOUR. Less than a month old, the record already has Millennials and Gen Z’s alike raving about its relatable lyrics and emotionally painful themes.
