I'm really impressed by Gulf Cup Opening Ceremony and the Atmosphere in the stadium just WOW,  it's definitely better than WC opening Ceremony,  Iraq hasn't organized this event 1979 , looks like it was worth the wait for Iraqis

Roberto Martinez was officially announced as the next national manager of Portugal.

 

Its the third time a foreigner becomes head coach of Portugal, but the other two were Brazilians, this time is a Spanish, which is not as easy to accept to Portuguese (“De Espanha, nem bom vento nem bom casamento” it’s a Portuguese saying that means “From Spain, neither comes good wind or a good marriage”, due to the historically multiple tentatives for annexing Portugal)


Some say it might be also a move for the World Cup organization (Portugal + Spain are one of the candidates).

 

Anyway, bienvenido Martinez!

When they say an "early start to your sporting career", they probably didn't mean this exactly, but today i found an interesting story. In December, in the top Bulgarian women's football division, a club made a substitute and entered a 10 year old girl. :d 

 

She had been training mostly with boys, a few years older than her, and had played in women's U15 and U17 matches throughout the year. And the main teams coach has said, that she wanted to award the girl for her dedication and progress with a few minutes play against the women.

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)
