After a fun but hectic Memorial Day, a quiet day at home was a good thing.
Before I forget yet again . . .
. . . Monday was Flag Day in our
ancestral Province of Asturias
This was seen in recently in
Oaxaca, Mexico
I've always liked vacationing south of the border.
Speaking of Mexico, we took our guest Mallory to Ruby's Mexican Restaurant for lunch on an overcast Taco Tuesday.
Hard not to smile while eating tacos and burritos.
But I digress from even more updates from the wonderful world of EuroBall.
Italian DI Standings with only one
weekend left in the regular season
The top six teams make the playoffs.
As it stands the top five teams listed above are in but the final seeding can still change.
The Mariners and Aquile both have a shot at that sixth and final post-season berth.
Last Regular Season
Italian DI Games
Saturday, May 30, 2026
Firenze Guelfi (7-0) at
Bologna Warriors (1-6)
A meaningless game for both teams other than the Guelfi's desire for perfection.
Ferrara Aquile (2-5) at
Milano Rhinos (0-7)
An Aquile win earns them a ticket to the playoffs as the #6 Seed.
Sunday, May 31, 2026
Legnano Frogs (5-2) at
Parma Panthers (5-2)
The winer of this one earns the #2 playoff seed and a first round bye. The loser will be the #3 seed and have to play in the Wild Card round.
Final Italian DII
Regular Season Standings
The top three teams in each girone made the playoffs.

I like what he says on
most occasions
This would be one of them.
Let's take a look at EuroBalls two major leagues.
We'll start with the European Football Alliance.
Three Haves and Three Have Nots?
Only one EFA game this week
American Football League
of Europe Standings
All eight AFLE teams will
be in action this weekend
It is hard to say which is the better, more competitive league so early in the season. Time will tell.
I wonder if the two leagues will get together at the end of their season's for a European Super Bowl game?
I tend to believe this as well
So, another week is in full swing and all is going well. Can't ask for anything more than that.
