I thought I'm the only one following this tournament,  but thx god I'm not lonely :d BTW this the worst ever edition of Gulf cup I've ever watched, maybe the Yemeni edition was worse,  but technically all teams are poor, the less post team wins, KSA participating with a mixed read of youth and junior and Qatar sending a team with the substitutes of WC and some young players affected the tournament , I guess it was a predicted final at the end of the day,  also the atmosphere of Iraqi fans are the best part of this tournament sadly more than 6 died to a traffic accident before Iraq's match yesterday

i don't think FIFA will have the courage to return Matches to Iraq after what happened in Gulf Cup , 1st Organizational problems and some fights in VIP section in opening match , then stampede before final match before the start f the game of 7 hours 1 person died and tens injured and even there's some talks that the final will not take place and it'll be moved to neutral country

Sport Tv the biggest sport channel in Portugal has bought the rights of Saudi League ofc you know why :d

For Ettifaq vs Al-Fateh of course, obviously :p 

 

 

PS: Those top two on the left, is that their trademark 'goal celebration' that their PR agency came up with like with all those 'stars' nowadays? :p Nowadays you always know a goal is not very important when the player does their PR-thingy afterwards, whereas the actually important goals are celebrated with real emotion and cheering and running and jumping :d

    • 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.
