Has the voting been this long before, jeeeez. I thought it was 20 minutes or so and we are approaching 50 minutes now 

I told you days ago, that Malta has brought the bribe money this year  There is probably a guy at my door, checking, if i'm voting for Malta at this moment.

Yeah, that Adipolo banner that keeps popping up is getting on my nerves. I can't get rid of it..

2 rock songs in top 5 will be amazing!

Big shoutout to all UEFA members (beside Israel), who will get the football season successfully finished in the next week. All leagues and cups will be done in record time, because of the late start in 2020 and just as planned before the EURO. Now this is how you get the job done! Awaiting the final exciting matches that are left.   

A Euro title for Greece  (even, if it's a shared title). First one since Aristeidis Grigoriadis, if i'm not mistaken

BBC Sport if you can reach.

Halep with a calf injury, may kiss RG goodbye.  But, what about Kerber - bringing a chair, sitting next to Halep and then carrying her bag for her. 

I wont stop, because, if they used half the effort from looking for excuses into actually doing effective vaccination/ preparation / coordination we wouldn't be in this situation. And this is the nation that was said for decades has biggest work ethic and discipline in the world.. If it was almost any other nation, i could understand the situation. But from the top 5 richest, perfectly organized Japan, it's not acceptable.. 
 
And of course no one cares about the Olympics, just before 4 billion people watch every single day. Happens every time. Internet filled moralists aren't the world, no matter how much they scream and cancel in 2021.

OMG can we stop with the planted propaganda polls every damn week! God, how i wish it was august already, so everything can be over and i won't have to bother with the insanely moronic Olympic qualifications, preaching internet nutjobs and the country of Japan acting like a child going through puberty..

Too easy for Osaka...the career of already established tennis, golf, (male) basketball and football players, etc. wouldn't be affected at all by a cancellation. Let's hear the opinion of athletes for whom the Olympics are really a life and career goal and have worked for years to qualify. 

Where do i start  Lack of development systems, small funding, very few good coaches, general disinterest in children to do sports. Majority of current children don't want to do sports, even for fun.. From the times i was at school (circa 2008-10 ) we couldn't find a pitch to play football and now it's 10 times less children that i see playing outside.. 
 
Plus, you know in the 20th century there were different times. Communism was 95% a negative thing, but when it came to sports, coaches, staff, from every sport went to every school in every town and picked children to train. It was an honor to be selected then. Now it's the free market.

She is doing an excellent job, unlike the man, who is constantly butchering stuff. Too bad i can't find out, who she is 

People who don't usually watch wrestling find women's freestyle very appealing, because the action is non-stop. The girls usually go for many attacks and their defense isn't very good, which makes the matches very exciting. The men's matches have way more tactics and "dead space" until 1-2 vital attacks, that will get you the win and then you wait out the clock. It's much more hard to make a fireworks men's match in modern times. 

This is how it works, because the rules are set this way.. Why bother popularizing any sport, when you can print the documents and "hire" a few people to secure the budget. This is the most important thing. Being an Olympic sport gets you Government funding. 
 
You say a dying sport. Well that can be said for half of the Olympic sports. Do you think more than 10 nations will still care about wrestling, if it's not an Olympic sport, or archery, or taekwondo, or canoeing, or diving and i can go on. Heck, some of them can't even get 10 competitive nations now. 
 
You save sports from the bottom -> up. Interest is not given, it's built. But that is work, hard work! You have to start from the children, from the schools, you have to have clubs, town clubs, regional clubs, coaches, staff, facilities. But no one wants to wait 10 years for this. It's much easier to get 3-4 Russians etc. to have some results, get the funding and if something else pops, it's a bonus. 
 
I have said it numerous times here, but switching nations should be made extremely hard. To represent you have to be born there, or both parents have to be from the country, or you have be living there for 15 years (even though in modern free times, this not very relevant) or take a lengthy non-compete clause (4 years at minimum like a doping ban). 
 
And i know this would never happen. Because all these sports will shoot themselves in the foot, because the "quality" and number of nations will drop. Or they will bring some EU law, about work rights, human rights etc. Like almost every football club has 10/11 foreign players in their line-ups.

Makes me even more proud that our two quotas in wrestling and one quota in table tennis are all from actual Greeks
