:IRQ surprises :IRI in the U20 Asian Cup quarterfinals.

 

not really a surprise. Iraq is always a tough opponent for us and to be honest they were the better team and deserved the win.

 

and I wasn't even sure if Iran seriously tries for the win for some politically motivated reasons :d (I watched the match and I know they tried, they just lost to a better team) per rules if you are European or American you are allowed to mix sports with politics, but since we are not, Iraqis should pray to not get "that team" in their group. I assume they won't play too

 

btw I don't know why exactly but Iran never gets good results in youth level football. :wacko: Iran even failed to qualify for the Asian U20 Cup last time :facepalm:

:ESP Felix Sanchez (ex Qatar NT coach) is the new head coach of :ECU Ecuador national team

 

that's interesting because he was supposed to be announced as our coach today but yet apparently Ecuadorian stole him on his way to Tehran :d

 

I really fear for the worst, :( I think that mafia boss local coach will finally get what he always wanted. I just hope they hire someone else. anybody, no matter who. just not this guy. I can't convince myself to cheer for any team he coaches, even if that's our beloved "Team Melli"

New NR in :SVK football league

 

Exactly 141 spectators attended Yesterday´s game Liptovský Mikuláš vs Skalica :p It is already the second time this season less than 200 people attended our Fortuna-Liga match (and the lowest ever amount of spectators, if not counting the games without spectators or the 20/21 season under Covid measures ofc)

 

funny enough also the previous record was set in the match between both teams, but played in Skalica

 

This season it was already the 5th match with less than 400 spectators in the stands :lol: Can someone finally answer me, for whom and why is this competition actually being played ? what an incredible waste of money for something that nobody is interested ... even the basketball league (I am really serious) has bigger audiences so to say...

Maybe the visitors' fans went away for their ice hockey team match. :p

Still no excuse for the hosts:mumble:

The public general level of interest in our club football was already very low in the last decades, this is nothing new,

 

*older "prehistoric" uncomfortable stadiums,

*bigger clubs from bigger cities for financial and other reasons gradually went bankrupt or disappeared from our National top tier league resulting on *small towns clubs without special fanbase playing the Top-Tier league,

*major european leagues games in TV easily accessible,

*very poor quality of football, I mean watching 90 minutes in a freezing weather of absolute boredome where 22 guys are literally walking on the pitch here and there and time by time someone kick the ball some 20 meters wide of the goal is already not the most tempting idea to do on your Saturday evening...

 

but this season it really touched the absolute new level.

 

 

It was some time ago when some our clubs wanted to restart the Czecho-Slovak league, found even aggreement on the Czech side, I do believe this would help a lot, but UEFA did not allow it and immediatelly stopped this "rebellion" and then we have the situation we have now. Extreme waste of money in a completely unattractive competition that does not attract anyone

    • Honestly, it’s not very clear what is happening in Italy — anything could happen. There is extremely high turnout, and no pollster, politician, or newspaper had predicted it; now they’re all there throwing out data. No one has any idea why people voted, also because it was very technical and almost empty polling stations were expected. It will be interesting to understand whether this is a protest vote against the government or a protest vote against the judiciary.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
