I see you are one of the “everything but soccer” people in Mexico. 😀 i’m not in that bunch, but I understand. Football information and “analysis” in Mexico is too overwhelming, excessive and sometimes sickening. On the other hand, I’m one of the guys who dislikes Mexicans’ love for Brazilian soccer, as a proxy because of our own frustrations. The Verde-amarelha was a beautiful team to watch in the 20th Century. Not since Dunga became coach, decades ago. Not now, in any category.

Women’s Flag Football: México won the gold medal in the World Games, not the silver.

In that case basque pelota has 32 country federations, and 8 countries have won medals in the World Championships. it is also an official sport in the Panamerican Games,

It's interesting to see European reactions to flag football. An unknown sport for them, as cricket and curling are for us in Latin America. Flag football (tochito) has been played by boys in Mexican streets for more than 60 years. Playing tackle football on the pavement may be hazardous for your health, and the equipment is expensive. This was the poor kids' answer. My daughter wanted to play rugby, but there weren't enough options to do it in Mexico. She ended up playing mixed flag-football.

🇲🇽 5/10 Surprises: Prisca Awiti winning an unexpected silver in judo Heartbreaks: Randal Willars’ last dive. He had the silver in his hands and lost it. The lack of guts and/or intelligence of our taekwondo athletes. Goals achieved. No. The Olympic Committee expected 7 medals; the government head of sports expected 9. Sports funding: It is one fourth of what it was 10 years ago. It must go back to those levels. Stars for 2028 Diver Osmar Olvera And there will be flag football!

Same thing happened in Mexico after the 1992 fiasco. A friend of mine was head of the commission. The one and only result: the president of Mexico”s Olympic Committee made his life impossible ever since.

Aquí les dejo mi opinión general sobre México en los Juegos Olímpicos y el problema del deporte en México. Saludos. https://www.cronica.com.mx/opinion/mexico-olimpicos-medallas-corriente.html

Frustrante último día de participación mexicana con posibilidades. Lo peor: que Randal Willars haya fallado su clavado dificilísimo, que le había salido correctamente en preliminares y semifinal. Lo triste: que el gran esfuerzo de Emiliano Hernández no haya redituado en medalla. Todo fue un obstáculo tirado por un caballo complicado. Lo desgraciadamente esperado: que Carlos Sansores nos desesperara con su actitud defensiva y poca movilidad. . .

If China wins, it will be poetic justice on McEwen’s very American refusal to share the gold.

¡Ja! Efectivamente le tocó la semifinal más táctica e igual no pudo hacer nada.

Sobre las posibilidades de Tonatiu para colarse a la final de 800 metros. Tuvo la fortuna de que su semifinal es la primera de las tres. Eso abre la posibilidad de que sea una carrera táctica, donde él puede colarse. Si le hubiera tocado la semifinal 3, los corredores ya sabrían los tiempos para calificar sin quedar entre los primeros dos, y eso suele traducirse en una carrera más rápida (en la que Tona tendría mucho menos oportunidad). Es la diferencia entre un pase difícil y un pase casi imposible.

Has the US dominance of basketball been hazardous for the sports health? It all depends on what you make of it.

Ha habido poco para despotricar con esta delegación olímpica mexicana (digo, lo de Azcárraga fue penoso, pero no se esperaba nada de ese grupo), pero hoy sí hice dos corajes. Primero, que el grandísimo esfuerzo de Alegna González haya sido sin premio de medalla. Esperaba algo más de Ever Palma, tomando en cuenta que estaba descansado. Segundo, la falta de concentración de Daniela Souza, que regaló un combate que tenía ganado, a pesar de su mala estrategia (sobre todo su pasividad en el primer round). Encima de eso, le echa la culpa a la juez, a sabiendas de que era quisquillosa. Fin del rant. Esperemos grandes cosas para mañana.

I disagree with you this time. I”ve been watching diving competitions for a long long time, and I think the North Korean girl won fair and square. Not that I wanted her to medal. I did not.. I dislike coaches that never smile (but that’s the way in PRK). At the end of the competition I said to myself: “This is the first time all places were crystal clear”.
