Very uninteresting WC so far. Not a good haul on centuries for now, Trump gone already and players gifting victories to Ronnie. :whistle:

 

Trump? :p

Yeah, none other than Judd Trump, second-ranked player in the world. :p

His high standard of offensive play got him there but he was injured so couldn't play his full potential. He isn't liked by everybody but I like him. :d

Plus Luca Brecel throwing away a very good chance at a nice upset :(

 

 

 

Yes, that's another thing I've noticed about these Championships. Those with a big lead crumble and let their opponents come back again. :rolleyes:

A 7-1 should really be converted into a victory but what does "should" mean in the world of sports.

I thought I'm the only one here in this forum following Snooker :p

 

btw we could have a player in main draw for the very first time, Vafaei lost a match he could win to Ford in the last qualifier after missing some easy shots in last frames, most probably because lack of experience.

first time I started watching snooker in Eurosport (almost 10-12 years ago) this sport almost didn't even exist in Iran . so having two players in the pro tour is quite a progress in such a short time.

Vafaei is the guy who recently beat Judd Trump? My 'Iranian surprisingly beats Trump' headline on a Dutch website got a lot of views there :d

oh yes he is, in China open

 

looks like he gets more headlines outside of Iran :d he always writes about that in his instagram posts, have to say he is very upset about this.

    • I have done some reading about Bulgaria since 1990 and have come to the conclusion that this country remember a little a Ukraine, only it's located a bit better, which is why it's in the EU and NATO. Unfortunately, corruption is big there, and essentially nothing has changed since the 1990s. A huge opportunity was missed. Is it strange that after joining the EU, nothing changed that`s and the EU accepted this country without any reforms? I remember that when Poland joined the EU, it wasn't that simple. Strange. In any case, in 1991, Bulgaria had an 85% voter turnout, and now it's barely 50% and that's a success. Apparently, people have had enough. Neighboring Romania has probably made much more progress since the 1990s, but it must be admitted that it's a much larger country. Currently, Bulgaria can only count on the development of tourism as its main economy, right?

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!
    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
