Adidas released shirts for the world cup. No design for Egypt though

Means nothing unless 3 or more players from the same team test positive from the same match. You don't lose points for just one player.

Apparently peruvian footballer Paolo Guerrero tested positive in the qualifier game vs Argentina. If true this is very bad for Peru, it's their best player.

After 3 years Del Potro becomes top 10 again and he can qualify to ATP finals by defeating Isner tomorrow

Does anyone know when and where the hockey asia cups U16 will be played?? I can't find info anywhere.

It was a robbery, clear penalty for river at 2-0 not given despite there was VAR in the match! wtf

konig stop picking the same 3 peruvian singers over and over... also I don't think non-spanish speakers can find the songs funny, it's kind of a meme that only works here.

Well, the problem with these continental championships (except European div I) is that there isn't video referral, so there'll always be dodgy decisions in goals and/or PCs since hockey is very difficult sport for referees with the tiny ball and the speed of play. I'm sad Egypt couldn't qualify, it's always good to see new faces in big tournaments and also because South Africa will just be a punching bag at the WC with this current level.

1 euro = 20 pesos, not 220.

Egypt again loses a final to South Africa despite being at home and the opponent not having some of their best players and after they had beat them Johannesburg with a full team! Something curious: so far all the continental championships have been won by the same nations in both men and women, will that mean India will win Asian women's cup?

Bestmen is right about this, it's all about power... the legal/illegal discussion is all bullshit. Spain has power and is EU/NATO member so they will keep Catalunya. Serbia is a small country and not EU member, that's why they lost Kosovo.

^You sure do travel a lot for being just an 17 year old (according to your profile). What are you, the Richie Rich of Algeria or something?

Must be some backup problem? same happened yesterday in results forum, posts and edits I made that day disappeared.

You have never read any news about Duterte? you live in another planet?

I said: "those are the laws that are coming". I know they haven't done much of that yet.

It hasn't been full liberalism yet because they didn't have much power in congress until now. Cut subsidies, cut taxes, pro-market reforms, less power for workers unions, those are the laws that are coming and they are textbook liberalism. It is isn't "libertarianism" if you want, but still, saying it's socialist is a bit ridiculous.

But that's another dinosaur I think cambiemos won mostly because of distaste for some politicians rather than people turning all to "liberalism". It's all about Cristina... people in Santa Fe for example don't vote for Rossi, they vote for her and people that vote for cambiemos there, also vote... against her.

Anyone can beat Cristina to be honest... we will see realistic election results when she isn't around anymore.

India men are asian champions, which means China is qualified for the World Cup (despite being only 7th in Asia...) and South Korea is out for the first time since 1990. Today started the african championships in Egypt (both M & W), in women competition there is not much interest as South Africa should easily win, but on the men's side home nation Egypt must defend their world league quota by winning the tournament since any other nation winning this (most likely South Africa) would see them out from the World Cup. oh, and Zambia pulled out last minute and without even noticing anyone (!) from both competitions. A classic of African/Oceanian hockey.... probably a FIH suspension coming soon for them.

Sorry, but he's racist towards who exactly? I assume not east asians

Please, don't get angry but I have to point out a mistake that I see you are making often: the correct spelling is "with". Yes, I couldn't live without telling you that, sorry

I dislike both N.I. and switzerland as teams and they got drawn together the other games will be close. I hope for Italy and ireland to win but I feel both scandinavians will win.

What a nasty draw. I don't like any of the match-ups, for different reasons.

I think the top 12 teams aren't drawn, they are seeded according to ranking in the groups.

Argentina goes to WCh after beating Peru 3-1. As always with the women's team, I'm more happy about beating the south american rivals than about actually going to the big events (because our team will only be a punching bag there), but anyway...
