Gold: - the Soviet is better. Silver: - Epic. When I think of power I think of this anthem. Bronze: - Beautiful medley of languages. Its "twin anthem" of is not as good. Special mentions: Also, as mentioned above is fantastic.

Brazil already 3 doping cases at pan american games. Now volleyball player Rodriguinho. According to some sources there will be a 4th one.

It's funny how they avoided each other even in this round. And it could be the same with Argentina and Brazil in QF if one finishes 1st and the other 2nd in their pools.

My prediction is that Nigeria and Iran will qualify. Nigeria is simply better than China and although Iran is not very consistent Philippines is the absolute worst team of this competition so far.

Ok, summing up the fight for african and asian quotas.... Africa Tunisia can qualify if a) they beat Angola and Nigeria loses to China OR b) in the case they both win or both lose, if they can have a better result than Nigeria to cut the big point difference between them (NGR +41, TUN -11). If neither thing happens, Nigeria will qualify. Asia Iran can qualify only if they beat Philippines and China loses to Nigeria AND they cut the PD with China (CHN +3, IRI -13 currently). For example, if China loses by 1, Iran has to win by 15. If one of the two doesn't happen, China will qualify.

I'm still waiting for olympicsfan's take on Germany's performance.

Australia 1st qualified for Tokyo.

Fiba Americas 6/7 in round of 16. Europe will be 8 or 9/12 Asia and Africa --> all out.

A victory would be inmense for Iran given China is about to lose.

I'm happy for Nigeria. This african quota will probably be decided on points difference since I don't see Tunisia losing to either Angola or Philippines. Nigeria already has an advantage with the +42 they just scored on Korea but they will have a tough opponent in Venezuela/China. For Senegal it will be almost impossible since they have to play Canada and Germany.

Brazil just beat Greece and you still ignore them

Awful day for our olympic hopes. Greece choked as well, missing a FT to tie in the last second. At least watching USA play so average gives me hope that Greece and Brazil could knock them out of the QF.

I can't believe this 4 consecutive FTs missed to win the match NEVER seen a situation like this.

Wtf Turkey doesn't want to win!

Turkey had it, almost lost it in a dumb way, and now with luck they go to overtime.

Noooo idiots

Pls Turkey let's go 12 seconds.

This USA team can lose to many teams, not just Serbia.

That is Muñeca Brava. For some strange reason the show was incredibly popular in places like Russia or Israel, I would say even more popular than here. And it ends with her marrying the rich dude, because obviously that should be the dream of any poor person

That's a bit controversial here because private schools are generally for wealthier kids and I don't remember a SINGLE of those kind of tv shows in which the kids attend a state school. It's like depicting poverty is banned in those fantasy worlds.

Schools runs from March to December. Exact day of start varies with the region. No presents of any kind to the teacher unless you, for some personal reason, want to give him/her one (which would make you seem like the teacher's pet anyway haha). In private schools you have to wear the school uniform every year. In state schools, it depends of your age: in primary school kids wear a sort of mandatory white lab coat ("guardapolvo"). In secondary school (ages 12-18), students wear whatever they want.

Yes, you right. Wikipedia says only results between teams that qualified are counted but, curiously, when you read the source they quote it says the opposite.

Summer games: Best in numbers were Amsterdam 28 & London 48 (3-3-1 both times). Worst were Montreal 76 and LA 84, zeroed both times with over 60 athletes. A very dark age for both the country and it's sport. In winter olympics it has been always been the same: nothing.
