  1. yes, the best results before this week were 2 silver medals by the men and 1 silver medal by the men meanwhile no women from a landlocked Nation have ever reached the GMM and except for the bronze medal in 2004, no players from a landlocked Country (both men and women) have ever reached the medal matches at the Olympic Games
  2. for what I saw in the last couple of seasons, the Australian duo is highly overrated they won silver in Tokyo and it was one of the biggest surprises of the Games, I don't think they are better than many other teams that didn't get a top result yet (like the Italians, for instance...but not only them)
  3. already won the men's silver in Flag Football at the last World Games our federations having the sports in charge, have already said they will do whatever they can to recruit all the best American players with Italian heritage to try and win a medal in LA in both FF and also Lacrosse
  4. yeah, but I wasn't talking specifically of the round of #16 matches (even if I think that Menegatti/Gottardi should have won easily vs Clancy/Mariafe...the men killed themselves with the pools results and the consequential bad draw in the knockout stage*), it's more a general thought...it's since Rio 2016 that our pairs aren't performing well in the world champs as they often do in the world tour tournaments *Nicolai/Cottafava also wasted the chance to beat the worst version of Mol/Sorum ever, tbh...if they didn't get a W this time, they will never do it
  5. except for some US clubs exceptions, you just need to compare the World Champs and the Asian Games results...all the best times of the year come from those 2 events
  6. wow! just wow! now are in troubles more than ever... scored 284/all out in 49.5 overs, couldn't answer appropriately and only scored 215/all out in 40.3 overs game details https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/102758 Tomorrow, instead, in game #14, will face at 10.30 a.m. CET in Lucknow
  7. and all the hype finally did prove useless and senseless in game #12, easily beat by 7 wickets started well, but when the 2nd wicket fell too early and Ul-Haq was gone, even their best pair (on paper) Babar & Rizwan couldn't do that much, they just did slow down and when the 2 stars were also gone, the middle and bottom order of the Pakistani batsmen were just destroyed by the Indian bowlers, with wickets falling one after another in the end, just scored 191/all out in 42.5 overs in the 1st inning and it was basically a joke for to win the match, scoring 192/3 in only 30.3 overs game details https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/102760 Tomorrow, it's time for game #13, with facing at 10.30 a.m. CET in Delhi in a match they just can't afford to lose (still, they're heavily favourite, it would take a miracle to to upset the reigning world champions)
  8. respect, man! I'd be only capable of eating, sleeping and TV watching marathons
  9. you can always use https://postimages.org/ and get the thumbnails to be posted here
  10. Italians...the usual floppers, when it really matters
  11. Rogge is the man that let Russia do what they did from 2008 through 2014 (officially, because we all know that nothing changed from 2014 to nowadays, as the officials in charge are always the same) at best, he's a blind and naive idiot
  12. it only favors the sport's powehouses, that basically can do whatever they want and the others can only hope that their class is the one left behind by the big names/teams it also makes some classes heavily unbalanced, which is a shame for the neutral viewers (just think of the Olympic and non-Olympic classes in weightlifting, wrestling, the same taekwondo at the world champs...there are A-level medals and B-level medals...and that's not good for the sport at all) I'm totally against any limited chance of qualification in all sports...if there are X categories, a Nation must be always allowed to try and fill a full team in all of them
  13. Vittoria Bussi just got back the hour record in Aguascalientes, she became the first woman to break the 50km mark, riding 50.267 kms in 60 minutes
  14. unfortunately, no after Paris, the Ninja Warrior-alike course will replace the riding stint for the ages
  15. gameday #3 started with game #11, when beat by 8 wickets after allowing to score only 245/9 in 50 overs in the 1st inning, a sleepy team took more than 30 overs in the 2nd inning to wake up and close the Bengali affair down, scoring 248/2 in 42.5 overs in general, not the best and most entertaining match of the tournament so far game details https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/102759 Tomorrow, time for game #12, the Mother of all Matches, the biggest rivalry in this sport: vs at 10.30 a.m. in Ahmedabad (hopefully in front of a great crowd to heat up the atmosphere -as if it was necessary )
  16. definitely it's not the Olympics I used to love anymore...I'm so disappointed and frustrated...
  17. wow! just wow! in game #10, earlier Today literally destroyed winning by 134 runs! scored 311/7 in 50 overs in the first inning, despite the effort of the Australian bowlers (Quinton de Kock with a great 100 to lead the charge) the Aussie were basically done after that, and in fact they only scored 177 runs in 40.5 overs before they went all out now the situation in the standings becomes more and more interesting, with shoulders to the wall after losing both of their opening matches they just can't afford sloppy outings anymore, if they want to make it through to the semifinals game details https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/102757 Tomorrow, game #11 is on stage, featuring vs at 10.30 a.m. CET in Chennai
  18. guys, I give up I just can't stand these Dodgers anymore #RobertsOut! from Today on, I'm only gonna follow Japanese and Korean baseball
  19. p.s. the only Cuban medals under a different Flag in Tokyo have been won by Pedro Pichardo (gold in men's TJ, athletics), Abraham Conyedo (freestyle wrestling), Loren Alfonso (men's boxing) so, a lot of potential, but in the end not a big deal p.p.s. still won 4 out of 8 men's boxing gold medals in Tokyo (just to say...)
  20. WT has the Refugee team where to pick athletes for the wild cards, they will never run short of them
  21. we also have Frank Chamizo and Abraham Conyedo in Wrestling there are quite a few Cuban boxers (Lorenzo Sotomayor for AZE is probably the best among them), wrestlers (Yasmani Acosta for CHI), weightlifters (Oscar Reyes for ITA -even if he is in a non-Olympic weight class- and Arley Mendez for CHI) competing for other NOCs just to name the best Spain has a lot of Cubans in the athletic team (Andres Diaz in Triple Jump) and in the baseball one (and also in other sports like boxing) Azerbaijan and Turkey also have Cubans here and there (Vargas in TUR volleyball women's team the most famous, I guess) and I'm sure there are way more of them, I just don't remember their names right now p.s. yes, Cuba is still a very strong Nation in boxing, actually, they are still the best team overall (but corrupted boxing authorities never let them win as much as they used to quite a few years ago)
  22. where have I to put my signature?
  23. In: Karate (Kumite only) Kickboxing (Full Contact and Point Fighting only) Waterskiing (Slalom and Jumping) and Wakeboarding (the traditional Tricks) Roller Biathlon Roller Skiing Inline Speedskating (Track events, only the Marathon on the road) Squash Cricket (T20) Baseball/Softball plus a few changes (replacements) in the program of the existing sports Out: Breakdance Rhythmic Gymnastics Trampoline Gymnastics Synchronized Diving Artistic Swimming Surf Skateboarding Cycling BMX Freestyle Equestrian Dressage Rugby 7s and Boxing + Weightlifting for the notorious reasons (corruption and doping)
  24. @hckošice your team disgrace continues...now they are dead last in the standings, the only one with 0 points in 5 games
