I think the Penalty was fair and square correct maybe @Agger can tell us better

Netherlands are the world champions it has been really dramatic and sad end for Spain

the Dutch and finals

Netherlands is difinenetly the better side till now , they should win this match

Russia wins bronze after defeating Norway 33-28 , very deserved medal for one of the best teams here in this WCH if they weren't the best already

I'd also liked to share another special moment but unfortunately it was in the last decade particularly at WOG in Turin my first ever time to watch winter sports and it was by luck as I was in Canada at this time and ofc all Canadian channels talking about the Olympics and me at the beginning saying what the fuck are these guys doing in snow And what a boring 2 weeks it'll be with Sports Channels Which was almost the only ones I was watching at cable TV that time , but I really felt in love with WOG and I watched literally every event of this Olympics on TV and I was lucky enough to have a break from school at that time due to a strike from teachers or the 2nd term holiday can't remember well

And the most special moment in that 5-1 victory was with 5th goal when Robben made Cassillas and Ramos eat the grass literally it was a special moment of revenge for him and the whole dutch team ofc

that's what came to my mind now ofc there're much more others especially internationally that i'd like to share

i've many memories to share Federer winning AO 2017 when everybody thought that he's already done including me actually Egypt qualifying to football WC 2018 after 28 years of absence , yet it was really disappointing comeback but it was a great pleasure to be back again after many upsets which i noticed 3 of them in 02,the biggest one in 2010 and ofc this humiliating loss in 2014 from Ghana London 2012 was a special Olympics for me and btw it's the only Olympic Games i was able to watch in full , all other Olympics i watched 1 week only of the 2 weeks because of travelling and in Rio was because i was at military service and i was very lucky enough to watch 1 week of Olympics , anyway my best 2 moments of London was definitely when our fencer Alaa Abouelkassem defeated Andrea Cassara in men's fencing foil quarters , the match wasn't streamed anywhere in Nile sat , we couldn't even get an online link so i could only followed it from live score and it was a great shock by alaa who went on and qualified to final and lost in a very dramatic way to lei cheng , i was one of the very few people that have bet on Alaa in Egypt before london to make something extraordinary big so it was really special moment for me when he was guaranteed 1st medal for Africa in fencing , the other big special moment came from our legendary wrestler Karam Gaber when he defeated that Big guy from Poland in men's -84 kg Semis while everybody thought that he was going to be eaten alive in this match , the Polish guy was at his very best and Karam was only back to mats just 7 months before Olympics and then Karam wins in a very special way in 3rd period Germany winning 2014 WC was a very special moment indeed after very long disappointments since 2002 especially in 2010 where Germany was a shoulder and half better than the rest but Players couldn't handle stress of Playing against Spain in Semis and maybe they were feeling beaten when this famous octopus chose Spain as the winner before the game , i still remember when i was watching the match at a coffee shop here in Cairo and while everybody cheering for Argentina particularly for Messi a very loud voice came from me when gotze scored the winning goal while everybody looking at me and maybe saying who's this guy that's not cheering for messi and cheering for Germany instead Mohamed Ihab winning gold medal of Snatch in 2018 weightlifting world championship and defeating the Chinese giants and making a new world record very special moment indeed which didn't continue at the end when he won only silver in total due to 1kg only difference between him and Lu Xiaojun Mohamed Ihab brought another very special moment for me also when he raised this 201 kg in C&J in world weightlifting championship 2015 in USA which was enough for winning bronze of total which was really surprising result as he has just shifted his weight category 2 or 3 months before the start of tournament Tarek Yehia winning bronze medal of world weightlifting championship in 2010 in men's -77 kg , the 1st medal for Egyptian men in total in a weightlifting wch since decades after raising this huge 199 in C&J Azmy Mehelba winning bronze medal in men's skeet in shooting wch 2014 was another very special moment , it was our 1st medal ever in an Olympic event in shooting WCH a sport that we've never been at elite international level and and especially because he was struggling during qualifications and barely made the final after shoot-off Ihab Abdelrahman winning 2015 world Athletics championship silver medal in men's javelin and that huge 89m through which i thought it was enough for gold but julius yego has definitely another opinion by throwing this enormous 92 m mark , our 1st medal ever in Athletics senior WCH and it appears to be the last Crazy men's pole vault final in last European championship with 2 players go above 6m was also really special for me again to our local sport and Ahmed Akram winning gold medal in YOG in swimming men's 800m with a new NR our 1st ever medal at any big stage in Swimming internationally and with Swimming again but with Farida Osman this time and winning a historical medal for Egypt in 2017 swimming WCH by smashing AR in women's 50 fly from lane 8 WOW it was a great surprise and great shock as well

today fans of Monterrey were almost 4 times bigger than fans of the host team al sadd despite the very long distance from Mexico to Qatar and Monterrey didn't upset their fans as they won 3-2 to meet European Champions Liverpool at Wednesday

i've a strange nostalgia to this moment of sochi 2014 WOG closing ceremony , i watched this video maybe 100 times last week or something and also the one from 1980 SOG , one of the most emotional closing ceremonies in history of OG

Mane but how

This goal was just disallowed in premier league from VAR due to.... maybe some mathematics' formulas

Luka continues his magic this season

so are they elite athletes ? it's Sara's only and Egyptian lifters doesn't need to get doped for a silly african games , they were victims of some conspiracy of some members of our federation , i can't believe that sara got doped and all her records went down the whole year how come , all weightlifting drama is made of people here in Egypt and our coach is among this list + it's very nice to have someone in medical staff in Morocco , i recommend u to go investigate the systematic doping process of Moroccan athletes in Athletics even players who got neutralized also get caught have a nice day too

Who're those doped 14ys Egyptian girls cuz I've never heard that we have elite athletes at the age of 14

That's huge news but I think clean athletes will participate like WOG also but will Russia accept again to participate under Olympic Flag

Well I've been following Gulf cup since 2001 there're always no standards for this tournament it doesn't matter if u're good or bad before start of tournament especially since they applied knockout stages format since 2005 and yes Qatar still hasn't become this giant in Asian football but they have better quality of players than all teams participating here and they were playing home so i still consider it as a surprise and also don't forget it has been a very long season for these players Asian Cup, Copa America, ACL with al Saad, for Bahrain they have been really lucky through this tournament they've never had the upper hand but they still manage some way to win at the end, Iran at home shouldn't really struggle against them but they can give u a hard time ofc

Bahrain won Gulf Cup for 1st time in their history after defeating KSA in the final 1-0 , surprisingly Asian Champions Qatar lost in Semis to Saudi Arabia 1-0

thanks for explaining , so if he wins tomorrow he will guarantee a place right ?

Our federation announced that that Seif Essa in men's -80 kg already guaranteed a place in Tokyo

It should be

this dunk wasn't counted yesterday by refs and Rockets lost with a bsket at the end 135-133 after 2 OT in which Harden scored 50 points
