He would whine a lot less if Colombia decided to play soccer instead of wrestling.

 

Please, that diva is making cry faces every time there's a strong wind and that referee seems to be under the impression Brazilians are made of glass. Maybe of he let the game flow instead of stopping it every 20 seconds to see if the precious locals are "hurt". It's shameful that you need to stoop this low. With the team you have you don't need it.

^Seems like someone had a really rough first week and is making catharsis on other south american countries. 

 

Rough week as it may have been, out football team is still playing. I guess by now the Argentinian players must be watching football at home, right? :p

I'm not trying to defend Neymar. I dislike him for a lot of reasons, and I will support Honduras if Brazil even wins this match (I don't think they will win). But Colombia has to step up their game. Every single match the Colombian players need to strike other players in order to keep playing. This is absurd. I know that we are supposed to see players getting in contact, but Colombia always bothers me by playing like this. Every. Single.Time.

They do? Maybe you get that impression because your guys always act like paper dolls. Now I'm sure it's not on purpose and it's just the green grass making them think they're in a diving pool.

 

 

 

 

Just kidding. I hate everyone there that's not Teo, Dorlan or Deivy. Let's just not make each other defend people we don't like.

Yeah, that's true.

And I'm officially supporting Honduras now. I want Brazil to earn an Olympic medal only for the sake of the overall medal count, but I definitely don't want Neymar to have the first ever Olympic gold in soccer for Brazil. So I'm rooting for Honduras to go to the final match and get their first ever Olympic medal of any kind, and Brazil to get bronze.

 

Go, Honduras! :HON

I'm supporting Honduras because their coach is Colombian and he managed my favorite club a few years ago. But if Brazil takes them out I'll want that gold to stay in the continent.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck? 
    • Qualified for the Grand Prix Final   Men: 1.  Ilia Malinin 2.  Yuma Kagiyama 3.  Shun Sato  4.  Adam Siao Him Fa 5.  Kevin Aymoz 6.  Daniel Grassl   Final Standings   Women: 1.  Kaori Sakamoto 2.  Amber Glenn 3.  Wakaba Higuchi 4.  Hana Yoshida 5.  Mone Chiba 6.  Rino Matsuike   Final Standings   Pairs: 1.  Deanna Stellato-Dudek / Maxime Deschamps 2.  Riku Miura / Ryuichi Kihara 3.  Minerva Fabienne Hase / Nikita Volodin 4.  Sara Conti / Niccolo Macii 5.  Anastasiia Metelkina / Luka Berulava 6.  Ellie Kam / Danny O'Shea   Final Standings   Ice Dance: 1.  Lilah Fear / Lewis Gibson 2.  Madison Chock / Evan Bates 3.  Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier 4.  Charlene Guignard / Marco Fabbri 5.  Evgeniia Lopareva / Geoffrey Brissaud 6.  Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha   Final Standings   The Grand Prix Final will be held in Grenoble, from 5 to 8 December.
