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

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
