justony 442 Posted September 11, 2019 #782 Share Posted September 11, 2019 By the way, this is first ever WCH in history with both USA and Yugoslavia (or their ancestries) failed to qualify for semifinal. To be even more interesting, there is also none of former Soviet Union country involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratelesjo 12 Posted September 11, 2019 #784 Share Posted September 11, 2019 We could argue about who's here or not but in a few years time when we opened the history of the competition,it's not written next to gold medallists that Team A won because Team B didn't bring their top players.The prestige that comes along is intact. Anyway..next it's to tame Scola..he's still got it after those years.All the way now there's no hiding no excuses.Once in a lifetime opportunity. I wonder if USA even with a 5th place finish will locked first seeding for Tokyo..could Spain or France be number one with winning the title and so on..

PS: I warn you that I'll also hate France men's volleyball team until they get rid of Ngapeth, a criminal who should rot in jail, it makes me puke to see him free to play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earvin_N'Gapeth Well that sounds like a real Mekhissi-Benabbad 2.0 right there, thanks for the info About basketball: which robbery? I only watched the highlights plus don't know a lot about basketball, so I'm curious. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

When he reappeared instead of apologizing he attacked the media that criciticized him, because "he had done nothing wrong". One of the victims almost died and had permanent injuries but who cares. Ngapeth was sentenced to 1 year and something in jail (suspended) plus fines, but then was caught again driving like a madman with alcohool levels 6 times over the limit. When another trial was looming, his performance misteriously dropped during the playoff, the team was eliminated early and he immediately flew to Russia and signed a contract there. The robbery I mean was in the last minute against Lithuania, they should have been tied with 30 seconds to go. Refs of the game have been suspended.
