Nothing new from China, remember the circus around NBA after the infamous tweet about Hong Kong.

I was thinking about posting that the NBA and EPL now find themselves in similar situations. Disney is also about find itself in the same situation when they release “Mulan” (the live action remake that looks good, but that I won’t be seeing).

in past few days (something like 2 weeks) one name made the headlines here everyday (no exaggeration here, I mean it), and that's an Italian coach Andrea Stramaccioni, he was coaching the 2nd most popular team of Tehran and Iran, Esteghlal (which happens to be my childhood favorite team :d) until he left his club few days ago.

 

because of good results and also his character he quickly became extremely popular between the fans but then exactly the same week he brought Esteghlal to the first place (after 6 years), he just left his club ! and that caused a national crisis here ! :facepalm:he left because his club can't pay him properly, money is not the issue, the issue is how to pay him because of the sanctions !

 

even after 2 weeks and they already played 3 matches without him (and his assistants ) and already lost 5 points. the club can't and won't hire another coach simply because they are afraid of their angry fans !

If you want you can take Stramaccioni forever :p Honestly I don't like him, I remember his awful work with the Udinese few years ago...

:d as Inter fan I also remember him very well and first he signed with Esteghlal I told my friends this is not a good signing, but he turned out to be very successful. (after a very poor start) even though it's not about just results, his team was playing good and fans also liked him as a person. and I'm sure you know, the level of football is different, an average coach in Italy is considered a great coach here :d and he is young for a coach and it seems he is improving.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
