Some of you might know that :INA will play against   :ARG in a friendly on Monday.
 

The hype was so high here but after it was clear that Messi will not be playing, the situation became Messy :p 

 

Quite a lot of people are reselling their tickets because basically the match now has not much left to offer. My friend after he got his hand on the tickets he directly sell it to a scalper waiting at the exit lane of the ticket booth…

Also, the local Indonesian organizer tried to get rid of the cancelled U-20 World Cup souvenirs on the eve of friendly match against the country which saved the event :d

Our staff got scared because of the people harassing the team in China and didn't want the same there.  

  

I'm surprised the organization didn't put a "Messi clause" in the match contract (less money if he doesn't play). That would have been the effective way to secure his presence.

Yeah idk what the organizers are planning.
Originally the coach asked the federation to play with a slightly stronger (team among FIFA top 100) opponent and then some crazy idea started then boom let’s invite Argentina.

 

Clearly our federation did not plan this match well, while people are hyping this and that. Now it’s like Argentina has a stopover flight and decided to play some football with a random team to spend the waiting time lol

So, looks official that Ancelotti gonna be the next Brazilian NT coach but he will assume just at the end of the next season.

 

During this he will indicate a interine coach until he assumes just before the next Copa América.

Not really a surprise even though he was fired after four months on the job. Mexico looks to be going through their weakest period in the last 30 years at least. Wouldn't be a surprise if they didn't make the Gold Cup final either.

    • There will be specialized double sculls...just not for an NOC if it is entering singles specialists.   Either enter 2 singles specialists, or 1 XD specialist pair.   But they can in theory compete in both events, I guess, if they qualify...our top M, I think, does both.   But there are 17M, 17W, and 30 Pairs allotted in the quota, so I don't think the intent is that every singles entry will be in doubles.   (Perhaps this gets to fall in line with Weightlifting, where due to max entry quota, an NOC can't enter in every event, even if they have the best athletes...here, unless you have a pair who qualifies in both.)

    • I read the Olympic qualification documents for weightlifting. A country can have the opportunity to send a maximum of 4 athletes in one gender, but the conditions are very strict.
    • world champion Jessica Schilder opened her season up with 19.78 in France.
    • wait! what???   so, there won't be specialized double sculls, but those boats would have to feature 2 single specialists if a Nation wants to enter 2 proper singles M+W??? tell me I misread the expalaination...
    • Yeah, they do get broadcast pretty regularly.  I remember even back in Bode Miller's day they would show the training.
