Also yesterday before the KHL match between Jokerit Helsinki and Dinamo Minsk, the host announcer played :PLW anthem instead of :BLR  :lol:

This was probably done on purpose since I refuse to believe people can be that stupid. Since European politicians are unwilling to do anything about Lukashenka for 27 years already we have to live with these kind of "mistakes"?

Of course it was done on purpose, it's not like anyone will coincidentally have the anthem of Palau under their Ctrl + V :d

You'd be surprised since Palau used to be known as Belau... which ofc is similar in spelling to Belarus.

And if you type too fast and omit the 'r' we have Belaus...

The DJ in question said the Belarussian anthem was under BLR anyway. Good thing they didn't mix up the Finnish anthem? It's such a nonsense it makes you wonder how these people think others are so stupid to buy this crap? You have an internantional match between two teams and you always play the anthems before. Rushing to play the anthem? Obviously it was done on purpose to annoy Lukashenka's countrymen. It's laughable to hear these excuses. Meanwhile the dictator remains in charge for 27 years and the powerful democracies can only sit on their hands since it's not worth to fight for democracy in Belarus. Russia would only raise the gas prices in response (which is happenning right now anyway) and everyone is fucked (except Germany thanks to Nord Stream 2).

Now this is what I call bad luck.  :jawdrop:

 

This is the moment a runaway buffalo smashed its way into a restaurant and threw a man into the air in eastern China. 

 

Video filmed in the city of Taizhou in Jiangsu Province on December 31, shows the animal charging into the restaurant, ramming into a man and knocking him over.

 

The stricken man, who suffered injuries to his leg, was dragged to safety by his friend while the bull rampaged around the restaurant, overturning tables and chairs before eventually running away.

  • 2 weeks later...

First results of the Croatian 2021 population census have arrived today. We have 3.88 mil inhabitants.

 

That's nearly 10% drop compared to 2011. No wonder we are sinking like a stone in most sports...  :p

    • Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA? 
    • For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/
    • It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.
    • Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position
    • Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt 
    • Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.
    • Well ya, which is why the Egyptian and Iranian teams can shut up and dribble :P
    • The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle 
    • After looking at the entry list of athletes in the official website, I've changed some of my predictions in the Olympic events with these changes:   Total Tally: Thailand 87, Singapore 51, Vietnam 48, Indonesia 33, Philippines 24, Malaysia 22, Cambodia 1     Badminton (5): Malaysia 2, Thailand 1, Singapore 1, Indonesia 1   Men’s Singles: Switched from Thailand to Singapore     Boxing (11): Thailand 8, Philippines 2, Vietnam 1   Men: -54 kg (-55 kg): Thailand, -60 kg: Thailand, -63.5 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -69 kg (-70 kg): Thailand, -80 kg: Philippines   Women: -50 kg (-51 kg): Thailand, -54 kg: Thailand, -57 kg: Thailand, -60 kg: Vietnam, -66 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -70 kg: Philippines     Sailing (7): Thailand 4, Singapore 2, Malaysia 1   ICLA 6: Switched from Thailand to Malaysia     Taekwondo (8): Thailand 6, Vietnam 2   -67 kg: Switched from  Vietnam to Thailand     Weightlifting (5): Thailand 2, Philippines 1, Indonesia 1, Malaysia 1   Men: -65 kg: Malaysia, -94 kg (-95 kg): Thailand   Women: -53 kg: Thailand, -69 kg: Philippines, -77 kg: Indonesia   * I saw that they have actually change the weight categories to almost match that of IWF newly introduced categories from several months ago.      Wrestling (12): Vietnam 7, Philippines 3, Indonesia 2   Men's Freestyle: -57 kg: Philippines, -65 kg: Vietnam, -74 kg: Vietnam, -86 kg: Philippines Men's Greco-Roman: -67 kg: Indonesia, -77 kg: Vietnam, -87 kg: Indonesia, -97 kg: Vietnam Women's Freestyle: -50 kg: Vietnam, -53 kg: Vietnam, -57 kg: Vietnam, -62 kg: Philippines    
    • Many permutations possible in the last game, going to be a nail-biter!  v  is the live game on the Olympic Channel later today.   2025 WCF Curling Olympic Qualification Event – Kelowna, Canada   Team   Wins   Losses   Men       CHN 6   0     P USA 5   1     P JPN 4   2     NED 3   3     PHI 3   3     KOR 2   4     NZL 1   5     POL 0   6
