Dmitry 92 Posted January 24, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Somalia lost 0:15 and 0:20 in their games in the first day. Probably they and China won't be in play-off. Tomorrow they plays to fight each other. Edited January 25, 2017 by Dmitry mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the first professional team sport. It's a small link with bandy but fascinating.... Dmitry and heywoodu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
