@Frree_kick We have to stop labelling them as diasporas and just call them pakistanis.

[Nauman @N4545br]

@Edwardian842 Tbf a country like ours which has a very shit sporting structure, for a guy to come out and win gold at the commonwealth games and then the Olympics is very much a legacy.
His current form does not degrade his achievements for Pakistan.

The most underrated player that has ever worn the shirt, has always given his 200%, and was an absolute beast today.

@Usama_Ata Atif Butt won all his games for tekken anyways but since it was tekken SF6 and KOF it was difficult. The Jon was playing KOF and Amu was playing SF6 whilst being injured .

@khantainer Murad Khan plays for benfica in Portugal rn Pakistan has so much volleyball talent especially in areas like Banu where Murad is from. If only they invested a bit more into the sport.

BREAKING: Pakistan volleyball captain Murad Jehan has slammed the “unacceptable” mismanagement at the Asian Games, revealing that the team’s bus took them to the wrong gymnasium just an hour before their match against Uzbekistan, leaving players to get ready on the bus with virtually no time for a proper warm-up. “Japan has destroyed the dignity and discipline of the Asian Games,” Murad said, calling the situation “really disappointing” and alleging that athletes have faced repeated problems, including hotel restaurants being closed when they return from training, leaving them without food.

@Aadiiroy2 Don’t know where you’re getting your info from Muhammad Irfan beat veer chotrani in the quarters for squash not badminton and he went on to loose to indias top seed in the semis. Him and noor zaman win a bronze medal each and will play for 3rd/4th place match.

🚨🚨🚨 زيدان إقبال يتحدث لـ يوسف ناصر قائد الكويت:

بالنسبة لي، لا توجد مشكلة مع لاعبيكم لكن لاعبيكم كانوا يقولون إن والدي باكستاني وهذا أمر واقع.

أولًا أنا مسلم والحمدلله ونحن جميعًا أمة واحدة، سواء كنت من باكستان أو العراق أو أي مكان لا توجد مشكلة، نحن جميعًا نتبع الإسلام لكن إذا كنتم ستنعتون والدي بإنه باكستاني وتقولون أشياء وقحة جدًا عن أمي فتأكدوا أولًا من الفوز، لأنني إذا فزت فسأحتفل، وإذا قالوا لي هذه الأمور ورددت داخل الملعب سيقولون زيدان يفتعل المشاكل.

لكن في كأس العالم لم أفتعل أي مشكلة، وعندما نلعب أمام فرق أخرى لا أفتعل المشاكل. كرة القدم تقوم على الاحترام، لكن إذا كنتم ستسيئون إلى أمي أو أبي أو أختي وأنا أصلًا لا أملك أختًا، إذا كنتم ستقللون من احترامهم فلا مشكلة، لكن تأكدوا من الفوز، لأن بعد نهاية المباراة، انتهى كل شيء.

احتفالي مع الجماهير؟ كنت أسمعهم يطلقون صافرات الاستهجان قبل المباراة، لا مشكلة، سأسجل وبعدها ستشاهدون، وعندما نظرت إليهم، لم يقولوا شيئًا، فقط كانوا ينظرون إلي. فقلت: حسنًا، ممتاز. الآن سيتذكرون الفتى الباكستاني الذي سجل في مرماهم.

[Muneeb Farrukh @Muneeb313_]

Pakistan’s performance at the Asian Games has once again triggered the familiar debate: why aren’t our athletes winning medals?

But blaming the athletes is the easiest part of the conversation, and perhaps the least useful.

The reality is that Pakistan’s sports system is failing athletes long before they reach the Asian Games.

Training facilities remain below international standards, and in some cases, athletes struggle to get even the basic requirements they need to train properly. Our Olympic champion is still forced to train on a substandard track. For many athletes, progress depends on whether they can fund their own training, equipment, travel and preparation. Those who cannot afford it are often left behind.

Then there is the question of where the money goes.

Federations receive funding, but there is little transparency about how it is spent and who benefits from it. Selection is not always perceived to be purely merit-based. Connections matter. Groupings within teams and federations matter. Favouritism matters. An athlete can work for years and still find themselves overlooked, while someone with the right connections gets an opportunity.

We have even seen athletes informed just days before a major event that they are part of the squad. What kind of preparation can you realistically expect from someone brought into an Asian Games team three days before competition?

And even when Pakistan sends its best athletes, another uncomfortable reality remains: our best is often still a long way from the world's best.

That gap cannot be closed through motivation alone. It requires proper coaching, sports science, facilities, competition exposure, nutrition, recovery, equipment and long-term planning.

There are also deeper problems that rarely get discussed openly.

Some athletes manipulate their ages to remain competitive in junior events. They may win medals at that level, but when they eventually reach senior competition, the developmental gap becomes impossible to hide. Instead of building athletes for senior success, the system sometimes rewards short-term junior results.

In several sports, parallel federations continue to exist, fighting over recognition and control while athletes remain caught in the middle. Years pass without meaningful resolution, and the people who suffer are the athletes whose careers depend on these institutions.

And speaking up can come at a cost.

Athletes who question decisions, raise concerns or speak about wrongdoing can risk being sidelined or losing opportunities. When athletes believe that speaking honestly could damage their careers, accountability becomes almost impossible.

The government cannot continue treating sports as a ceremonial exercise that matters only when an athlete wins a medal.

There needs to be a proper sports policy, transparent funding, merit-based selection, functioning federations, independent accountability and a clear pathway from grassroots development to international competition.

And spending money alone isn't enough. Money without planning, monitoring and accountability can simply produce more of the same problems.

So yes, athletes should be held accountable for their performances. But accountability cannot begin at the finish line.

If we want better results from Pakistani athletes, we first need to ask what we have given them to work with.

Because the uncomfortable truth is this: Pakistan's athletes are often being asked to compete at the highest level after being failed at almost every level before they get there.

The truth is I don’t care about what happens. My support for City won’t change now, tomorrow, in 100 years. The whole game is corrupt and fucked anyway. City till I die.

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

No, we are not selling our players. No, we are not getting relegated. No, we are not being stripped of our titles. Not one of them.

I'm a very calm man. And I'm calm because I've seen this film before. In 2020, UEFA handed us a two-year Champions League ban and the whole world danced on our grave. We took it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, laid out our evidence, and the ban was overturned. The same people celebrating then went very quiet very quickly.

This club will fight tooth and nail, exactly as it did then. There's a right of appeal, there's a legal team among the finest in the game, and there's a board that has insisted from day one that it holds a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence. They didn't build this club on luck, and they won't defend it on luck either.

So let the rivals write their headlines. Let them pencil in the relegation, the fire sale, the asterisks. We've heard it all. What they never understand is that pressure doesn't break this club, it sharpens it.

We are going to prevail. Citeh till I die.
