both matches ended with a play at the plate that could have changed the outcome :lol:

 

by the way, the fuckin' Italian TV (Sky Italia, who else?) as usual will show only the Italian NT games and the semis + final, nothing more than that :facepalm:

fuck Comcast! :bones:

 

look as if an Italian fan has to rely on the Czech public TV (or Netflix with a Japanese VPN) to watch a global baseball tournament :hairpull:

too obvious!

I'm sure there will be at least one or two upsets already in the pool phase (hope :ITA will make one of those)

    • I think we could realistically be in every boxing final here.   But some idiot got too provocative during the fight and got knocked out.  Well, he's young, so let him take it as experience.
    • of course the regime is stronger than it was 2 months ago, probably with more supporters, it's easy to gather people (some people at least) around the flag when the enemy bombards schools killing hundreds of schoolkids. they are rallying and celebrating on the streets every nights which is really annoying.    the 8 years war with Iraq solidified the regime at the time and I assume this one did the same.   I wasn't alive in 1970s, but I can tell there was Khomeini who was charismatic (I don't know why, he never even tried to look like a nice person, I still can't understand what people saw in him) he managed to gather all groups from left to right under his umbrella. there is no such a thing right now and beside that, this is not a simple dictatorship regime with one head. this regime is almost impossible to fall with force. the only way to beat it is through civil activities and we are far from that right now.
    • Two gold medals for  Agostina Hein with two new (senior) south american records!   8:22:01 in 800 FR and 2:10:82 in 200 IM.   (she did the IM only 10 minutes after racing the 800)
    • You've always opposed this regime, so what do you think? Did the USA attack strengthen the regime, or was there no chance of its fall anyway? Two million people in Tehran alone protested against the Shah in late 1970 years and now these protests have never been so numerous. What are your thoughts on this?
    • last year (I mean in Iranian calendar which finished couple weeks ago) was terrible, both personally (since I had couple of personal losses) and also because of what happened to the country, two wars against bloodthirsty vampires and on top of that the Dey (January) Massacre.    but the country still stands as a whole which wasn't my prediction. I certainly underestimated our resilience. of course there are lots of wounds to be healed (even if the war stops right now), some of them very deep wounds, mostly non-physical wounds. we have to wait for the dust to settle to see how the regime will do domestically moving forward, not really optimistic about that though
    • Overall, I fear that if AFD + FPO were to come to power in GER/AUT, Italy could lose South Tyrol- maybe not now, but in the future- yes. There will certainly be problems in that region and Meloni, unfortunately, is like a child- she's not a politician for difficult times.
    • It's more a double edged sword for me. I'm happy that Turkey's strategy of naturalizing athletes to win medals isn't working, but at the same time Ofili and the Jamaican field athletes did it because they weren't being treated right by their federations. Now they have to go back to the same federations that fucked them over to compete in LA.    I'd much rather this have happened than it gone through, however 
    • We're chatting here and chatting and in the meantime, AFD will soon have 30% in Ger, just like FPO has over 30% in Austria...It is also unknown what will happen to Le Pen in Fra.    
    • I know there will be other slots where more tickets will be released. Hoping for more affordable tickets in future slots
    • Good. International sport should never be about purchasing athletes to represent your nation. Invest in your domestic talent!
