Hey I don't know you are the POTUS

I legit stared the screen for a minute thinking why differentiating Indonesia and Morocco is such a big deal

After a long drag on determining Asian qualifier venue, now we have the complete list for 2020 Thomas/Uber Cups qualifier venue: Asia: Singapore (11-16 Feb) Europe: Lievin (11-16 Feb) Oceania: Ballarat (13-15 Feb) Pan Am: Salvador de Bahia (13-16 Feb) Africa: Cairo (14-16 Feb)

Never know by losing just 1 key player made Singapore so vulnerable like this...

Apparently a drama started: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/sea-games-2019-singapore-muslim-athletes-not-served-pork-scmp-12127926?cid=FBcna

As I said before, media framing worked really well in these Games. They keep focusing the bad side in Manila as if the other host cities doesn't exist. Venues in Clark are nice and overall running smoothly, halal food kitchen is ready, etc. But no one cares. Why? Because it won't appeal to readers...

I've been told that it is actually modified form of Thai and Cambodian chess. I thought it is Chinese-influenced because the bishop is replaced with 'Elephant'. But no one beats Myanmar in 2013 which proudly add Burmese chess to the program lol

Now I have known that we have 2 new events for chess: online (like wtf) and ASEAN Chess ASEAN Chess is like when you play Chinese chess with Western pieces and board

Apparently people here thought 'polo' is water polo and some bashed the Indonesian water polo team

Actually there is, have to click each sports for detailed stuff: https://rs.2019seagames.com/RS2019/Polo

But behold the first international casualty has fallen: https://www.foxsportsasia.com/sea-games/1201918/timor-leste-football-team-stranded-airport-wrong-hotel-sea-games-2019-organisers-report/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

They are reliable (the Indonesian version is also quite popular too). Don't worry about the venues, I think they can't be worse than us in 2011, where all venues finished exactly a day before the opening

I remembered the knockout positions are already determined before the pool started (didn't know the full detail since I just took a glance to see whether INA is joining or not)

Yeah FISU has released the same stuff: https://www.fisu.net/news/summer-universiade/germany-sets-course-for-summer-universiade-2025-bid So we are back to a contest

I think they already missed the deadline and it's Budapest which is just waiting for FISU rubber-stamping?

Of course the media will always blow up the sensational news. But hey we don't even know the price of Asian Games cauldron, it is actually good to see some transparency. Honestly the Games is expected to be minimalist since Philippines decided to host again after their withdrawal. However what they did is very confusing. They have the biggest sports program ever and now spending big on unrelated stuff. It's like serving a bad quality meat on the most expensive plate ever :lol

While it is indeed expensive, actually not much Filipinos are unhappy about it.

And now in the live stream, they used the code "INS" for Indonesia
