Oh, I didn't knew that as I couldn't watch the game on TV

I think the important thing (in the end) of this match was to collect 3 points against Chile. However, I understand it is frustating seing a thing like Argentina win only because of a penalty goal.

Good luck to Iran, you pretty much control your own destiny... maybe after the next two games, your team will qualify.

Well, I think most religions talk about peace. But I understand your point, most religions have at some point in history to exert some dominance, supremacy over people. Religious extremists and orthodox followers (not to be confused with Eastern Ortodox/Christian Ortodox) often disregard peace in their crusade to bring "heretics" and "sinners" into the right path, even when that actually violates the dignity and natural rights of people.

Well, I guess my taste has changed... most of the "club" songs are too generic for my taste; don't mean to be disrespectful, they're ok to dance, but not what in my opinion would call a great song. Any AI could replace the singers in most of those entries and sound better. I guess that's what happens when you replace actual instruments and voices for computers and Autotune However, there were some songs I actually enjoyed, either because of the vocals, the lyrics or the interpretation; these are (in no particular order): Bulgaria, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Azerbaijan and Belarus, and contrary to most users in the forum, I just loved the Portuguese song

That's probably one of the worst showings by any team in the entire tournament. On the other hand, a great way for team USA to end its run in this edition and obtain its first title

And now is USA 7-0 PUR in the middle of the seventh... What happened to the Boricuas?

I think so too, with USA beating Japan and PR still unbeaten, it should be a great match.

And now they advanced to the WBC final for the first time. Congrats USA Edit: Sorry I've celebrated too soon, still 3 outs to go for team USA to be in the final game.

The Netherlands team is really putting all out against Team PR... bottom of the ninth, and they're still tied.

Exactly, every athlete fails to follow the proper walking technique at least in one ocassion, that's why everyone has quite fast registers nowadays

This weekend the city of Monterrey will host a stage of the 2017 Race Walk Challenge and they plan to apply this rule: According to the organizers, this will only be the second time this format of a "penalty box" will be used, but is under consideration by IAAF to be used as the standard rule in future competitions.

Glad to see they're changing the ranking system and also seeding competitors. However I'm not too happy about the increase in weights, mainly because now 4 weight divisions will be left out of the Olympic Games, meaning less athletes in those categories, at least during the Olympic qualification period. Besides, I really expect them to distribute the divisions with a more "regular" criteria, as for me, some of the current ones are kind of senseless (like the 74k in men's FS)

Pretty much what I do... Today I start to make cuts, starting with those who didn't leave any lasting impressions after 2 or 3 times of hearing it.

At least you gave a good game today, even if Venezuela outscored in the end

Team Italy played really bad today... They now must be crossing their fingers so Mexico beats Venezuela and await for the "un-tie" criteria to favor them.

Sure it was a shock result, but the credit goes to the Italian team who fought the entire game Hope you can reach next round,

I wanted to attend, but the stupid local organizers only offered tickets for the whole series, not individual games... cheapest tickets for the series are at 177 USD and the priciest at 1560 USD Still crossing my fingers, that not all tickets are sold to try and catch one of the games or the pool final.

Mission accomplished I think. Women's hockey seems to be having its moment, despite being a relatively new program Now, I hope the federation give the girls some incentives and better training, so they can keep competing on Division II A and then try to move up.

Wow, I don't know about the double digits, but they sure are heavy favorites.

Mexico is one away of making it to Divison II A I hope they secure their ticket tomorrow against Romania

@konig Mexico is in!!

Well that's just half of the real story happening in my country... Yes last week there were some protests against the increase in fuel prices that turned into chaos and looting... this was exploited by the Government to spread the panic and to organize groups to replicate the lootings... however the citizens were already ware of that and avoided more lootings. This weekend I took part in a pacific protest along at least 10,000 others in my city, urging the government to reduce the salaries of the elected oficials, to punish corruption and to lower the tax in fuel (which represent almost half of the final retail price). There were similar protests in other cities and towns, so finally, the Mexican people is starting to show how upset are we of this inept and corrupt administration. Here is a link to the event page in FB...

Happy New Year to everyone!!
