Still less ridiculous than women's football tournament in 2014 when Hong Kong qualified for quarterfinals by virtue of losing both group matches 5:0. :p

Or cricket where Sri Lanka qualified for the final.....by coin toss :lol:

UAE withdrew. only two teams left in this group which means Iran and Syria are already in quarterfinal ! :wall: not a good news I'm quite sure our coach would prefer playing more games before the knockout rounds.

 

and this is funny we were supposed to have Phippines, UAE and Syria in our group. Philippines withdrew but later came back. and since two other teams from group D withdrew as well they sent the Philippines to that group and now group B is left with only two teams ! :d which means one team between Philippines, China or Korea will get eliminated before the semifinal.

Is it normal to have that many withdrawals all the time? :yikes:

well sometimes. maybe not this much but there are always few withdrawals. I think one team per sport is quite normal but this time basketball beat the rest in term of withdrawals :d mostly because OCA doesn't really ban or punish the teams because of late withdrawals. they always threaten to do that though :d

 

I would like to see some qualifications at least for team sport but then OCA doesn't like the idea. they want to give chances to weaker countries to participate. in some countries they only get financial support when it comes to the Olympics or AG. that's why for example you rarely see Mongolia or Maldives in Asian Championships but they usually send few teams to the Asian Games.

women's handball draw is really funny. we have South Korea. China. Kazakhstan and North Korea in one group ! while the other group includes Japan and 4 weak teams. which means we will see Thailand or Hong Kong in semifinal !!
