FIFA world cup is pretty average so far. I think I will focus a liitle more on this thread now…

9 I find it really interesting 

Halfvarsson DSQ, Pellegrino in on the podium

Frida Karlsson 
 
 Ebba Andersson 

He is cleary outside the track during all the climbing and he takes advantage. Pellegrino was DSQ in the past for the same thing in the past season (it was a sprint)

there once was a sport where Italy used to be the dominant force or, at least, a very competitive team... 
 
now that this sport has become part of the Olympic program, R.I.P. Italy   

Football - Men's Tournament
So  in 1908 and 1912 were dominant but their opposition was weak,  in the 20s and the of 2004 were great too.
But for me the Mighty Magyars of  in Helsinki were one of the 2-3 best teams in history, even if they never won the World Cup.
To be honest, I can't imagine anybody voting for another team and if you did you're wrong. 
 
Volleyball, men's tournament
Not a sport in which I can claim to be an expert in but I'll go for  here
 
Volleyball, women's tournament
Again not a sport in which I can claim to be an expert in but luckily  of the 90s were so good it makes an easy choice
 
Fencing - Women's Team Foil
Tough choice between  and  but Italy were a little more dominant in their wins
 
Fencing, men's Team Sabre.
Has to be  especially the 1952 team which won every match very easily
 

Yes. That is how it’s gonna be…

Can't say for the rest, but the goal actually ruined the life of the Bulgarian assistant referee. People stopped talking to him then, the BG Football Union allegedly asked him to pay to continue refereeing. At his funeral in 2017 only a small group of people went and there was no actual acknowledgement by the football union, even though he was an actual player before that. He was forgotten by everyone after that match. He has also said, that he saw the hand in real time, but the rules at that time were, that the assistants can't signal or communicate with the head referee unless directly asked by him.   

Oh Lewa, why you missed that penalty vs Mexico

Bring on Messi now! 💪

Yessss 

I would love to see what Renard is saying to his players right now
 
The video of his motivational speech at half time vs Argentina got viral here and they scored twice at the start of 2nd half, Poles should be careful now

No  in the women’s top 3, changed days.

One of the things I love the most here.
 
yes people like football and yes a lot of people are crazy about their Ajax or feyenoord or whatever but at least you don’t have a NOS Journal where the first 30 minutes of an hour and half tv news show (yap, that long, with a commercial break even) are for talking about football and football clubs.
 
here I can stay away from football if I want (except oranje stuff). In Portugal is unbearable :-(

This's always the problem of Arab players , after a very big game they can't just simply forget about this game and concentrate on following game 

We also have three sports newspaper (although they are mainly football newspapers, barely any mention to any other sport there  ) and each sells their soul for each of the big three clubs (Porto, Benfica and Sporting) so it's totally toxic media.
 
I still remember when Nelson Evora won a golden medal in Beijing 2008, which, let's put it in the right context, was only the fourth (!!!) gold medal in total olympic history of Portugal, and one of such newspapers put this as cover 
 
 
The fourth gold medal in our history.
 
The cover goes to some random interview to a Benfica player.

This young girl is Daniela Ceccarelli's daughter

I bet you will win this gold in Paris!!!
 
and I hope that Poland will finally make it to the semis as well…

Oh Jesus, that match and that crazy Skuhravý header-hattrick was something
