  1. England and Ukraine are the biggest upsets of this tournament so far IMO
  2. China , Germany , Korea and surprisingly England have booked their places in Men's 1st division quarters , 8 teams will fight for another 4 spots in quarters :- vs. vs. vs. vs. While in women's side we already know quarters' matches and they'll be :- vs. vs. vs. vs.
  3. Congrats to Liverpool , overall they deserved that spot in the final , Real ofc is the favorite side , but finals are aleays a different case , i think if Liverpool defended well just as Man City match in quarters , they are the favorite but if like last 2 matches , then Cristiano could score a hattrick , best luck for our Salah and his mates let's do it
  4. This was really one of the best matches of UCL ever and this's one of the most unfair moments of football and sport where tge better side doesn't always win , no comments about referee , it's prohibited by Uefa to give penalties against Real !
  5. again the King saved Cleveland Ass in game 7 of Eastern Conference 1st Rd against pacers with scoring 40+ points despite missing much of 4th quarter due to injury , Cleveland against Toronto in a classic match , but this time ofc Raptors should be the favorites only if the King does another incredible series , so this's the Semis of NBA Playoffs this season :- East : Cleveland vs. Toronto Philadelphia vs. Boston West : Golden State vs. New Orleans : GS leads 1-0 Houston vs. Utah : the Rockets are just raping them in Game 1
  6. Go Abdelsalam for another Gold , i just can't hate him looking forward to seeing many matches of this European championship
  7. Egypt lost to Germany 3-2 in the 1st match of Division 1 of world team championship , Omar Assar defeated Timo Boll 3-2 , for sorry we don't have another good player with him
  8. it took them in Australia 40 years to apologize for this guy on banning him of participating at 1972 Olympics and 46 years to recognize his heroic action during 1968 olympics , both of them were after he died , btw he still holds the Australian record in men's 200m till now with 20.06 sec. , btw the AOC president is still sure that his NOC didn't do something wrong for him despite finishing his career and excluding him from anything related to sport in the country even in Sydney 2000 Olympics , what a shame !
  9. Peter Norman: Sprinter involved in Black Power salute given posthumous Order of Merit Peter Norman, the Australian sprinter involved in the Black Power salute at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, will be awarded an "overdue" posthumous Order of Merit. He stood alongside Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the 200m podium as the pair protested against racial discrimination. Smith and Carlos bowed their heads and raised a fist clothed in a black leather glove, while Norman wore a badge supporting human rights. Norman, who died in 2006 aged 64, was punished for his role at the time and did not compete at another Olympics. Campaigners have called for a statue to be built in Melbourne in his honour. An Order of Merit is given by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) to an athlete who has achieved "remarkable merit in the sporting world". "This is an overdue award - the respect for Peter and his actions is still enormous to this day," said AOC president John Coates. "We lost Peter in 2006 but we should never lose sight of his brave stand that day." In 2012, the Australian Parliament apologised to Norman for the "failure to fully recognise his inspirational role before his untimely death". Who was Peter Norman ? Norman's father borrowed a pair of running spikes for his son and he developed into a talented sprinter. At the 1968 Olympics, he broke an Olympic record in the 200m heats and won a silver medal in the final. Gold medallist Smith and Carlos wanted to wear black gloves on the podium in protest at racism in America, but Carlos left his pair at the Olympic village. Norman suggested Smith and Carlos wear one glove each and asked a member of the United States rowing team if he could borrow a badge that read 'Olympic Project for Human Rights', a project set up to oppose racism in sport. Smith and Carlos raised their fists during the American national anthem but the International Olympic Committee took away their credentials and told them to leave Mexico within 48 hours. Following the protest, Norman continued to race but, despite being ranked fifth in the world, he was not selected for the 1972 Olympics in Munich. He retired soon after without winning another title and was not invited to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The AOC denied it excluded him, and the US athletics team invited him to stay with them during the Games. Norman remained friends with Smith and Carlos - the two were pallbearers at his funeral and gave eulogies, when they announced the US Track and Field Association had created the 'Peter Norman Day' in recognition of his actions.
  10. big drama in Italy in Juventus vs. Inter match , an early goal by Juve verified by VAR then a red card for Inter in the first 15 minutes , another goal for Juve denied by VAR , then a crazy 2nd half Inter ties and leads 2-1 after an own goal by Barzagli and keeps the lead until 87th minute , when Juve scores 2 goals in 2 minutes by Cuardado and Higuain and become very much closer to win their 7th consecutive title in Serie A
  11. there's a rule in Uefa don't book a Real Madrid player , waiting for Ribery to be sent off
  12. bad news for Liverpool fans , Oxelade Chamberlin will miss the entire season and will also miss WC 2018 , This's his 2nd time to miss WC for injury
  13. surely it was too early replacement for him , he should have stayed 10 more minutes , at least Roma wouldn't have offended , for sorry there's no substitute for Salah in Liverpool , Ings is below average player and Solanke still inexperienced enough
  14. very big match by Liverpool and Salah for instance , but those late 2 goals this could have been easily 6-0 for Liverpool , but now Roma can make another remontada at home and win it all
  15. , and have qualified 1 athlete each in both boys and Girls Triathlon at YOG
  16. King of Clay Rafael Nadal won his 11th title of Monte Carlo defeating Nishikori in straight sets , in other news ski is blue
  17. USA FOR 2ND CONSECUTIVE TIME qualified to the final after defeating France 3-2 with the help of Sloane Stephens who won 2 matches , 3rd was won by Keys to face Czech Republic who defeated Germany 4-1 thanks to a great show by Petra Kvitova defeating both Georges and Kerber in straight sets and other 2 victories by Pliskova and in the doubles
  18. in Italy Napoli defeated Juve at their home 1-0 by a killer header of Koulibaly in the 89th minute , now only 1 point is the deference between the 2 teams before 4 rounds of the end of Serie A and finally we could have a Top 5 league in Europe which'll not be decided until last match
  19. Congrats to Brazil for being the 1st country other than Japan to qualify athletes to Tokyo 2020 OG
