Croatia couldn't simply score in the 2nd half, Argentina's defense was GREAT. Croats rarely created any chance. it wasn't like ARG GK had to save much.
 
Croatia scored 1 at the start and I think only 2 goals in next 25 minutes !

At this rate nothing isn't sure, we don't know what will happen even tomorrow, then saying that Paris Games in three years mighr be affected is bullshit and you should calm down.

They had some good results in Junior/Youth events recently. Porto is a good team in EHF Champions League
 
I think it was about time for Portugal to join the "elite" level team.
 
and while Norway can celebrate beating Portugal by just 1 goal. but still Portugal has a good chance to beat France and qualify with France. in fact Norway's fate is not in its hands anymore.
 
France only had one great match against Norway, they struggled against Switzerland and Algeria. beating them is not mission impossible for Portugal. (Portugal eliminated France from Euro 2020)

yes, sir...
 
I agree...but unfortunately it's quite common in team sports (also FIFA and UEFA have different tie-breaking criteria, for instance)...

in water polo the tie breaker is only GD against the next best team of the group (France in this case) goals against SVK doesn't count

Tunisia out 
Tunisia B ( ten players yes ten  ) qatar in the main round 😝

You created an account, on a website dedicated to the Olympic movement, to advocate for the cancellation of the Games? GTFO

Congolese player who scored 4 goals against Argentina today
 

Blah blah blah variant, blah blah blah cancellation ...

Many  especially Sweden almost all famous players are missing except palicka , for Sweden it could be a technical issue as the coach tries to renew the team to make it younger , Nikola Karabatic is the most famous one missing , Germany misses some key players among them Wiencek , some really key players in other teams missing as well 

Doha, Qatar will host the Asian Qualification event right before the World Singles Qualifiers in March.
 
I assume some other continents will do the same and will have their qualifiers in Doha.

I think we shouldn't be anxious about that right now...in Japan they're not facing thousends of cases everyday like us in Europe and/or the USA...
 
I'm pretty sure they are capable to keep the situation under reasonable control even starting the vaccination campaign that late...

I just saw the notification without knowing what's happening here
 
Melli means "national" . the word "team melli" some websites wrongly uses as the nickname simply means the "national team" !

My favourite Olympic moment is will be when Tokyo Games will actually happen.

I’ve always found that both amusing and annoying as well 

 
My guess is: Singles M/W, Doubles M/W/Mixed, Team Mixed. I seem to remember a Mixed Team event being held at a few multi-sports games.
 
Well, the current Olympic program is 15 events + Mixed Team Skeet in Paris, so assuming all those events are held (including both Moxed Team Shotgun events), that’s 16. I do know Running Target will be on the program, and that would most likely be 6 more events. So that’s 22 “regular” events. My guess is then there will either be non-Olympic events like 50m prone, 25m center fire pistol, etc. on the program, or there will be gender specific team events for all the regular individual events.
 
That would be my guess. I’m not against the Poomsae events personally, I find them more tolerable than Kata at least. I still haven’t made up my mind on wether or not I like form events included in multi-sports games yet.
 
Archery having a full program for once is a small victory.
 
Mixed Doubles would absolutely be my guess for a fifth event. It’s already held at the Commonwealth Games and Pan American Games. I’m not a big fan of doubles events in Squash/Racquetball. 
 
I heard that it will be Speed, Speed Relay, Boulder, but I don’t know if that’s final yet. Perhaps after the Paris 2024 announcement they’ll go with Speed, Speed Relay, Boulder/Lead Combined. I’d be okay with that, but I’d prefer the 6 individual disciplines myself. I think Speed Relay is fun event, but it’s not my favorite. I’d rather have a Lead event personally.
 
That would (hopefully) be the full regular program of track events. 200m (or) 300m Time Trial, 500m Sprint, 1000m Sprint, 10000m (or) 15000m Points Race (or) Points/Elimination Race, 15000m (or) 20000m Elimination Race. I’d be very happy about that. 
 

UWW has just updated its Calendar.
 
Africa and Oceania OQ - , El Jadida, from 2 to 4 April.
Asian OQ - , Almaty, from 9 to 11 April
World OQ - , Sofia, from 6 to 9 May
 
No changes for European OQ

nobody! there were almost no major international competition for our notable athletes this year.
 
but if someone puts a gun on my head and forces me to pick a name, I would give it to Sardar Azmoun, he was the topscorer in the Russian League this year. I know this is nothing but I can't remember any kind of achievement this year. everything was cancelled.
 
PS: there is no official award here since some years, but even if it was, that should be based on our own calendar, not 2020. a year here starts and finishes in March. so even those few sport events before the COVID shouldn't be counted, they were all before March 2020.

How dumb is that? Basically holding individual events while only awarding team medals. Wow.

sure, but you know...some sides are always guilty and some others are always innocent...
 
I'd like to see a bit more fairness in how we look at the usual suspects instead of judging things with so much prejudice (and that's true for all places, it's not a question of East or West, North or South of the World)...
