Yay for Crank!
Rangers have retaken the lead in extra time and Braga are down to 9 men.
Crank, possibly resurrected at Easter, just like Jesus.

Why is it called "Good Friday"?
Is that when all the sins and stuff got sorted?
Why isn't there a "Great Sunday"?
<edit>This sounds frivolous, but as an atheist* I genuinely don't know.
*and ignorant of the bible/scripture

So Russia has lost its Black Sea flagship. Oof. It’s a huge blow. With the Bosporus closed, Russia have lost an irreplaceable asset. And being the flagship, reflects incredibly on both the Russian navy and Moscow itself. |

In an age of portable guided missiles ships can be as much a target as an asset.
Like tanks they are great weapons until someone fires a rocket at them.
I expect the various navies are somewhat uneasily thinking about the difficulties of protecting relatively static targets against modern weapons.

I expect the various navies are somewhat uneasily thinking about the difficulties of protecting relatively static targets against modern weapons. Forty year old ship, which was supposed to be refitted in 2016 - but wasn’t. Operating too close to shore, without adequate point-defence weapons or supporting vessels. It’s a very big tactical, procedural, and intelligence failure on Russia’s part. |
