@Griff88 Does money grow on trees in Indonesia?

Why? lol

Your government seems to think it does :p (You were supposed to answer “No. Why?)

 

They built multiple new venues for the Asian Games. Now they want to build a new capital, and then build all new venues for the 2032 Olympics.

Don't worry we can ask for aid from Belt and Road Initiative ;)

Probably not what the IOC wanted to hear. I’d be surprised to see zero protests in the Tokyo this year. Protesting in Japan is dangerous though. Japan’s not a free as people think it is.

So it's gonna be Gangwon 2024 instead of Pyeongchang 2024, perhaps a last minute effort to convince North Korea by marketing the Games with the name of the split province

Best argument I’ve seen against the IOC athlete guidelines (published by Coventry (who many athletes already saw as a traitor before this)):

IOC also confirmed the Sapporo, Salt Lake, and Barcelona are interested in the 2030 Winter Olympics. Looks like it’s time for the Mormons to break out the checkbook again...

I think SLC (or maybe USOC?) tends to prefer 2034? So most likely it's gonna be Sapporo 2030 and SLC 2034 unless we have a better contender (Almaty's revival for example)

Deciding what is and isn’t a political statement is itself a political statement.

    • @rafalgorka https://www.pantarhei.sk/635214-xxv-zimne-olympijske-hry-milano-cortina-2026   the SVK NOC official Milano Cortina 2026 book is out for your collection   Full of pictures, stats and as usual complete result book         
    • Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?
    • Denmark can only blame themselves for that Belarus match. A win and they'd qualify with a game to spare alas...   Gattuso has no business being a manager at this level. Italian problems come from the lack of domestic talent in Serie A but Gattuso ain't gonna fix anything.
    • Just listening to Gattuso is enough to understand that he's a simpleton.  Honor, pride, grit...but he is a coach, not a Spartan soldier. And he was surrounded by other idiots who confessed they had to buy their high school diploma. 1-0 up but down to 10 men and they are playing only counters with a lone forward with good pace (Kean, who almost scored the second) and Gattuso replaces him with a target man. Then 1-1, the team is forced to play more possession and the first thing he does is taking out a ball playing midfielder (who served a near assist just moments before) for Frattesi, who is only good in running into empty spaces to finish but always shy away from playing the ball.

    • Thursday April 2nd, 2026 - Round-Robin Day 3 Results (GMT +8)   12:30   New Zealand  1 - 2  Lithuania 16:00   Ukraine  5 - 1  Belgium 19:30   Mexico  0 - 4  Hong Kong   Provisional Standing After Day 3:   1.    9 ----------------- 2.   9 3.   6 4.   3 5.   0 ----------------- 6.   0
    • The last time this team played well was at Euro 2021 under Mancini, but they 8 months later they lost to Macedonia at home in a 2022 World Cup qualifier play- off at home game... In my opinion, Italy Euro success was thanks to Chiellini and Bonucci's recent big form and Chiesa's tournament of a life. Without them, Italy is simply average team: the 1-4 and 0-3 group defeats to Norway wasn`t a case (under Spalletti, so a good manager, at all). Play-offs, however, are always a lottery in this format – especially when you're playing decisive matches away and also under the pressure of Italy now + Bastoni's red card episode. Such things are decisive. Take the current play-offs: Poland, Denmark and Italy could just as easily have advanced, instead of the Czech Republic, Sweden or Bosnia. Top teams simply don't have to play in these play-offs, why they avoiding the risk of defeat. In groups you have 7-8 home and away matches and no only one- last match chance away
    • Btw our coach (likely in a couple of days ex-coach as well ) Calzona, not the pizza, Italian himself, presented his 2 cents about Italian failure as well in the press conference after our useless match against Romania. Talk about how nonsensical and pointless this match was    https://sport.aktuality.sk/futbal/clanok/francesco-calzona-reakcia-na-bosna-taliansko-zaspali-sme-2026040100555755775
    • Was the problem really the coaching staff ? I mean it is 3rd time and in all 3 cases there were different coaches, right ?   Probabyl the issue is somewhere else, I did not know Gattuso and his staff played the matches on the pitch themselves
    • It's sad that Buffon is tarnishing his legend and the same think is for Gattuso. Ranieri did the right thing by refusing... Who's going to replace Gravina now? Malago, or someone from the football community?
