Match Day #4 Group A 15-46 21-22 25-39 Group B 19-44 26-34 ( has qualified for SF & the winner of v will be joining them in SF )

I don’t think that will be fair & anyway once you go down that route, it will be just not Palestine or Israel . You would need to consider Azerbaijan/ Armenia . Lebanon, Kosovo/ Serbia. Pakistan/India/ China/ USA IOC need not get into this political mess rather they should make it clear Olympics is not a place to carry out political protests. It us not IOC’s job to take sides or call out who is right or wrong. If indeed a world War breaks out , sports & olympics will be irrelevant!

Match day # 3 Group A 46-19 23-33 31-23 Group B 42-20 30-32

Is it true as reported by some media outlets that both Jordan & Egypt are not going to open their borders for Palestinian refugees??

Yes, those were in a different format ( T20) , the one that got approved for LA28 programme.

Results from AFC round 1 WCQ Leg 2 0-0 ( 1-5 Aggregate) 0-3 ( 0-7 Aggregate) 2-1 (3-2 Aggregate) 0-1 (1-3 Aggregate) 0-1 ( 1-2 Aggregate) 0-6 (0-12 Aggregate) 2-0 (2-4 Aggregate) 1-0 (1-0 Aggregate) 0-1 (0-2 Aggregate) 1-1 (1-4 Aggregate) The following countries qualify for Round 2 of AFC WCQ 2026 With more than 2 1/2 years still left for the 2026 , AFC has already eliminated 10 countries from the qualification process!

For starters, the Belgian police allowed the match to kickoff without having nabbed the terrorist. He was roaming freely for quite sometime! It was the Swedish players who took it upon themselves to not play after HT( which is when they heard the news) There were so many lapses, when you organise an international match, the security level should be anyhow elevated. You have foreign fans visiting your country & it is your responsibility to protect them! They need to know how did he get arms so easily in Brussels? Why did it take so long to nab him? If this has happened in Qatar during the WC , the whole international/ western community would have been up in arms blaming the security arrangements, so why not for Brussels? If their is an incident/ loss of life the security system must be questioned and held accountable.

The shooter is from ISIS as per some reports. How this can happen in an European city & on football fans is beyond belief. What is Europe turning into? Complete failure from the Belgian police. Thoughts are with the victims family & all Swedish fans stuck inside the stadium fearing for their safety! Complete lawlessness.

CONMEBOL WCQ Matchday #3 2-2 1-2 1-0 2-0 1-1

Results from AFC round 1 WCQ 5-1 4-0 1-1 2-1 1-1 6-0 4-0 0-0 1-0 3-0 The 2nd legs are scheduled for 17th OCT

You would have thought that Delhi rather New Delhi would have been the obvious choice having already hosted commonwealth games but it is clear that the Central Govt & sports ministry want the games to take place in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Easy to guess why, with general elections coming next year & if there is a change, will be interesting to see if the new government will still propose Ahmedabad or somewhere else.

Qualifiers for World cup In AFC begins today with the 1st Round matches , to be played over 2 legs( Home & Away ) The winners will qualify for Round 2

Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat will be the proposed host city. They are building a lot of sporting infrastructure in the city with the aim to host major sporting events.

If do get to host the games be it 2036/2040 , I would choose 1) Cricket ( if already not part of core sports by then) 2) Kabaddi 3) Cue Sports 4) Chess

Knockout stage starts from today with R of 32 matches in both men’s & women’s section.

18 would be including 2 reserves. You can count either ways, 16 or 18 . Official team squad will be of 16 players, the other 2 players will be staying outside village & can be called upon if required.

So as per the 2026 programme, We will loose 3 Silvers & 2 bronze as Chess, Bridge & Roller sports won’t be part of the 2026 games. Not bad , also they have added bowling in 2026 . How are we in Bowling at continental level? Events per sports is not yet decided, biggest problem for us would be if they remove team events from shooting.

INDIA I present to you “Mere Samne wali Khidki Mein “ by Kishore Kumar This song is a timeless wonder, almost every Indian will tell you they know the song if not the lyrics. Sung in 1968 by the legendary Kishore Kumar , this song is about wooing the girl next door , who is as beautiful as the moon. Remember guys this is 1968 & wooing your neighbourhood’s most beautiful girl by cheesy songs were common even in real life India!

Excellent Asian Games for us . Anyways , there is a song contest being organised by @Olympian1010 . Each country is invited to present their choice of song ( must originate from that country) & then all the songs which are submitted are rated by users to choose a winner. I thought should have representation & we could choose one song to submit for selection . I have a song in my mind, if anyone of you have any suggestions or songs which you would like to propose then please do. If we have multiple suggestions , then we can go for a final voting to select our entry for the contest. The deadline to enter has been extended till this weekend. So , it would be great if we could decide on an entry by tomorrow. Thanks Guys😊

Final 2-0 gets the quota place & Qualifies for Paris Olympics

Poor officiating by the match officials, it is a shame the match ended the way it did. As it was a fiercely contested high quality close match, all that you would want in a final. I think it is more to do with world ranking than coin toss. But LOC should have had a spare day for the final at least. Anyways, it is not unjust or unfair as the rules were agreed on before the games & was same for all teams. Also, the better team deservedly won 🥇.
