I heard that from the Iranian commentator during the match, but I just never trust them they talk lots of nonsense

Bahrain scored     Sorry, I learned today that the curly hair player is injured and he's not playing this tournament.     Syria will be the surprise then

only for the knockout rounds. even though I'm not a big fan of VAR but that's probably necessary in AFC more than anywhere else. the whole story of AFC Asian Cup would be different if we had VAR in pr

unbelievable. how the hell they missed that chance in 122nd minute ! :facepalm: UAE was really lucky with that controversial penalty. Kyrgyz players ran out of gas in extra time but they had one 100% chance at the end.

 

UAE was terrible so far. not just this. but the whole tournament. I don't think they stand a chance against Australia but then Australia was far from convincing.

Qatar and Korea completed the quarterfinal teams. so Vietnam is the only surprise of Round of 16. even though Qatar-Iraq match was very close but I assume Qatar was slightly favorite before the match. Iraq had some chances and few minutes before Qatar's goal there should be a penalty (on Mohannad Ali) for Iraq. Iraq was unlucky today they had 3 injuries today specially Humam Tariq's injury was crucial. looks like they wasted too much energy trying to beat Iran and win the group.

 

ironically the guy who scored that nice free kick for Qatar, Bassam Hisham is in fact from Iraq ! :facepalm:

 

South Korea also just survived in extra time against Bahrain. the outcome could be different if it wasn't for Bahrain GK's injury. from what I see Qatar is even a better team than Korea but still Korea is the favorite.

 

Quarterfinals:

 

:CHN vs :IRI

:VIE vs :JPN

:KOR vs :QAT

:UAE vs :AUS

I think VAR ruined the match :wacko: first disallowing Japan's goal and later in second half awarding a soft penalty to Japan probably make up for that one in first half ! :thumbdown:

 

to me they should only use VAR for obvious mistakes. not for 50-50 calls. I really think in both actions refs had the correct call at first but then changed it to "mistake" after the VAR.

 

btw another narrow win for Japan. actually that's scary. because they can win even when they play terrible !

 

now can't wait for IRN-CHN match :bounce::bounce:, first let's hope for no VAR decision :pope:.  and second I hope we win this and finally break the QF curse. we got eliminated 3 times in a row in this round.

:cheer: That was easier than my expectation. 3-0 and missing so many chances.

 

but Taremi's 2nd yellow card was a big blow. that was a stupid yellow card :facepalm: yeah he sometimes misses chances 1 meter away from empty goal (as he did again today) but he hustles and creates chances for others as well. we will miss him against Japan.

 

and Japan in semifinal. we were waiting for this for a long time. that's probably our real final. :bounce:

Qatar in semifinal :yikes:  winning 5 matches, beating KSA, Iraq and Korea. not conceding a single goal ! wow what a tournament for them. specially under hostile situation and not a single Qatari fan in the stadium because of the ban !

 

I think it's fair to say Qatar will be favorite against either Australia or UAE.

 

Tottenham fans will be happy. they can have Son HM few days earlier  :d

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      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.
