    Following these games got me hyped for pan ams next year.
     
    Then I remember we'll probably have even less streaming than this and I get sad again.

    Both teams are low level, it's just that Japan is even lower.
     
    I still have no idea how India did not win this competition.

    A team that lost a game 8-0 ends up winning the tournament.
     
    Malaysia squandered a 5-2 lead with 8 minutes to go and a 6-5 in the last minute. I feel their chance for OG is gone with this...

    Only after the Germany-New Zealand men's QF match in Rio, this is the craziest hockey match I've seen.

    Malaysia already 4-1 up before half-time.
     
    Japan is a low level team, Pakistan really shouldn't have lost to them.

    Because their NOC is only interested in sending world class athletes to the OG and they think that in most sports african qualifiers have insignificant level. It's not that the south african hockey federation rejects them, they actually want to go in any way, it's the NOC that imposes the standard. I don't know how this policy originated but it has more than two decades of being this way, though sometimes they have relaxed it a bit.
     
    As for the other question, it varies with each international federation but I think FIH in particular is flexible with them because they don't really want african teams at the OG either, but who knows.

    For me the line is drawn depending on where the athlete was developed in his/her sport. If x country didn't have anything to do with the formation as an athlete of the person in question then for me that country is feeding from the system of another country.  
     
    With this criteria for example Duplantis is (or should have been) american, while someone like Mo Farah is clearly british.

    We have the first draw of a team sport, and it's futsal:
     
    Boys
    Group A -     
     
    Group B -      
     
    Girls
    Group C -      
     
    Group D -      
     
    Apparently Brazil rejected the girls quota last minute. Wikipedia says it was because "they chose to compete in boys futsal" but that makes no sense because in beach handball, rugby and field hockey there are some nations that will play both genders! plus, Brazil didn't qualify for any other girl team sport, so they aren't binded by the "only one team sport for each gender" rule that all countries except us have to follow.
    The same happened to Iran girls, is there some special rule for futsal that I don't know about?

    The wtf was about the "killed all opponents" or something like that. I know very well that she stole money.
     
    Anyway, the central point is that you used it as some sort of weird argument against giving too much freedom to women, which is ridiculous because there are thousands of examples of male politicians that were many times worse. Gender has nothing to do with being corrupt.

    Islamic conquest of Persia: VII century. 
    Islamic revolution: 1979.
     
    So... no, don't worry that Europe will be like that in "the next century". 
     
    Anyway, I don't accept the premise that "Islam = oppresive regime and lifestyle" as a start but meh, in this forum everyone is a xenophobic right winger lately so I have to follow that logic to discuss this.
