After some googling, I find out that Kazakhstan actually never lost match in the qualifying for the 2002 WC (4-2-0), and yet they didn't make the final round because of the weird rules. :yikes:

 

It's understandable why they got angry at AFC, but to change to a confederation where you have zero opportunities and no prospects seems like a bit of overreaction. :p

 

P.s. Why doesn't Algeria just change to CONCACAF then? :roflmao:

Finally the Czech TV decided to cover the other match than our TV :d Both previous days both Slovak and Czech TV had as the main game the same match, finally now while our RTVS will cover the BEL-CRO game the Czech ČT Sport have CAN-MAR match as their broadcasted one

To be fair, a national holiday after a win in the group stage would be either bullshit or just a sign of pure laziness and not wanting to work :lol: 

 

National holidays for sports successes in general, I'd say :p 

 

i don't like much Holidays either :d

Kazakhstan moved for financial reasons. Their clubs are now in UEFA Competitions. Their nation is involved in collective TV rights for nations league, European championship and World Cup 

 

They know they likely won’t qualify either way, so it’s purely a financial decision

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
