Angola lost to KSA today in President Cup 34-29 , looks like they went here only to defeat Qatar and shows the world the true African Spirit :hearts: :cool: 

 

KSA always plays good against teams in their level. and they always lose by big margin against better European teams.

almost the same goes to Bahrain, very tricky and smart team. they can't match the physicality of European teams though but even Qatar never had it easy against Bahrain.

 

Japan on other hand had some respectful results lost by only few goals to Spain and Iceland and played good against Croatia (except the first 5 minutes) and then they lost to two Asian teams Bahrain and Korea despite having the lead most of the match :p and will play Angola for the last place, I won't be surprised if they lose this one too. they are really improved comparing to last year Asian Champ and Asian Games few months ago (with almost the same squad) but still they can't beat Bahrain and Korea !

Bahrain also has done some good matches against European teams here , they were drawn in the toughest group maybe in the tournament and today they were leading Serbia through the 1st half and all kudos to them , they don't have any naturalized athlete as far as i know and very few base of handball players and they still deliver good handball at least , Japan's performance here didn't surprise me at all , they have the former coach of Germany NT and FUCHSE Berlin and they made impressive results in friendlies against European teams , i even expected from them more at this WCH , i expect more from Asian teams in 2021 edition

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
