Syria, People invade this house of Bachar , treasures everywhere 
 
 

 

My understanding is that some of the rebels are Kurds, so people in their areas will be better off.  Unfortunately the others are mostly from the crazed head-chopping tendency, so nothing good can be expected.

Rafael Nadal (tennis)

Two top-10's in the speed disciplines at last season's world junior championships, lots of Europa Cup results and she was Italian super-G champion in quite a strong field (seniors), definitely someone we would have been likely to see in the World Cups in the next few years..

Michał Dąbrowski, wheelchair fencer, medalist from this year Paralympics in Paris died at age of 38yo due to cancer 

Yet antother piece of useless data:
 
If 2026 World Cup was 32 teams - as it shoould be imo
and have one host USA - as it should be imo
and we would have qualified teams according to last Euro/Copa America/Africa Cup of Nations... no world cup qualifying but continental champs as qualifying for world cup - AS IT SHOULD BE imo, then we could have continental champs every 2 years
 
the 2026 tournament could look sth like that:

Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.
 
Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.
 
Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.

Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig
 

 
 
 
 
 

is awarded a 3-0 walkover vs but will play the next match behind closed doors

Gyökeres 4 goals against  today. 

By this results San Marino is possible to play a qualifiying play-off to 2026 World Cup. If the favorits from pot 1 and 2 will finish 1st and/or 2nd in their qualifiying groups then North Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Moldova and San Marino will play a two rounds of single-match play-offs. So the last team in FIFA ranking could play a world cup qualifying play-off, that's absolutely insane

San Marino

History is made
 
The comeback from 0-1   was written with goals of Lorenzo Lazzari, Nicola Nanni and Alessandro Golinucci
 
San Marino finish with seven points in Group D1 thanks to the first two competitive wins in their history, and clinched promotion to League C
 

This is incredible. Amazing San Marino! 🇸🇲

Celebrating 50 years since they first partnered in 1974, adidas and the Argentinian Football Federation have revealed a special edition kit and collection. The kit is expected to debut in the match against Peru on 20 November.
 
 
 
The retro-inspired design draws from the kit that the Albiceleste wore back in 1974, showcasing the distinctive and traditional Ambient Sky and Cloud White stripes. They’re complemented by a Trefoil logo and a stripped back mid-1970s Argentina crest on the chest, both of which are in gold to celebrate the achievements of the team over the years.
 
Inside the collar, there is a special graphic with a laurel wreath and the sun symbol of the Argentinean flag with the words 'En el alma y en la piel' (In the soul and on the skin). Above it are the words 50 ANOS, nodding to the 50 years of partnership, while below are three stars to symbolise the three World Cup wins.
 

For 3rd place  23 - 14 
 
1st place  25 - 26
