And at that time he perfectly highlighted all the Polish Football Association's problems ... Yeah, we were probably the most luckiest nation in the world that night Our commentator almost finished in the local Chorzow hospital with heart attack Here better quality of the total mayhem after last whistle (the first and last time we qualified for a World Cup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJa 64 Posted October 18, 2019 #42 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I still remember this match and these eliminations from one match. Recalling this song, I realized how long ago I had not heard the Operational Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somehow stayed intact. Because of a loophole they received no penalties, however the rules have changed since. nitinsanker 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,129 Posted January 7, 2020 #48 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Exactly 95 years ago was played the first ever international Ice Hockey game on Slovak soil, The European Championships in the lake of Štrbské Pleso It was supposed to be played in Prague, However, the weather came into play.Even during the Christmas holidays in the capital of the Czechoslovak Republic it was freezing strong enough, but immediately after the New Year there was a significant warming. The ice on the Slavia Prague rink melted and so the European Championships was supposed to be moved to the Jordán pond in the Czech city of Tábor according to plan B. The Sovakian city in the High Tatras Štrbské Pleso was supposed to be the last option.On the Jordan Pond, however, some holes appeared, and therefore the Minister of Industry Ladislav Novak at the Congress of the Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace (LIHG), nowadays IIHF, on 6 January 1925 announced that the European Championship venue will be in the High Tatras and matches will take place on the natural ice of Strbske Pleso. Czechoslovakia (Team composed only by Czech players) won the title ahead of Austria and Switzerland De_Gambassi and Laraja 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry 92 Posted January 28, 2020 #49 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I found out about this recently. It's not about historical sport pictures but about Olympic mascot's history. At 1980 Olympics besides Misha there was a mascot just for one sport - sailing. It's a baby seal Vigry. Estonian SSR chamber of commerce did a contest because sailing competitions were in Tallinn and this mascot won. Some information in English: source. Information in Russian.
