Historical Sport Pictures

[Gianlu33 4,568]

What is the sport whitout the human memory? Just nothing. I decided to open a theared where everyone are free to post pictures current or past. No any limits, just show a picture of a moment that excited you, a moment that write the sport history or... all that you want concerning sport. 

Have fun and build new sport memoirs!

The result is right and I believe this is very interesting. It's just the picture seems to be different.

 

Funny thing is that small Asian teams always pull an upset. Maldives beat India in the final match of the 2008 South Asian Football Championships, which is a huge feat if you consider Maldives had a population of around 300,000 people at the time, while India had a population of 1,200,000,000 people.
