One of my biggest ‘what if’s’ in recent times if what would’ve happened if we brought Messi back under Xavi.
Can only imagine he would’ve absolutely dominated, still the very best football has to offer.
She’s argentinian, it’d be cool if people says her nationality as they do with other argentinians in a derogatory and xenophobic way
Oh wait this is not helping to their xenophobic campaign
Everyone is talking about the 39 medals.
But the real story of these Games is much better than just the medals. Let me explain.
First, these Commonwealth Games was much smaller than the last one. Only 10 sports. Last time there were 19.
And look at which sports were removed.
Wrestling. Badminton. Shooting. Table tennis. Hockey. Cricket.
These are the sports India wins in every single time. Out of our 61 medals last time, 30 came from these sports.
So think about it like this.
In the sports that were played both times, we won 31 medals last time. This time we won 39 in those same sports.
We got better in every sport we played. The total looks smaller only because so many of our sports were not there at all.
Now, first let's talk about the good stuff.
Our boxers were unbelievable. 10 medals. 7 golds.
No country in the history of the Commonwealth Games had ever won 7 boxing golds at one Games.
India just did.
And 5 of those 7 champions are women.
Preeti Pawar. Jaismine Lamboria. Sakshi Chaudhary. Priya Ghanghas. Arundhati Choudhary. Plus Sachin Siwach and Ankush Panghal.
Actually, out of India's 13 golds, 8 were won by women. Our daughters won so much at these Games for us.
Mirabai Chanu won gold again. Third Commonwealth Games in a row. Only one Indian had ever done that before her.
She had a serious back injury. She won anyway. :)
Gulveer Singh is a soldier who grew up running on village roads in Aligarh. He became the first Indian ever to win a medal in the men's 10,000m race. Then he won one more in the 5000m.
In long distance running. Where India never wins.
Our para athletes won 7 medals. That equals everything they had won in all the previous Games put together. Their best performance ever.
Dilip Gavit, who lost his arm as a child, set a Games record in his 100m race.
Even judo gave us 2 golds. Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh.
Be honest, did you even know we had judo players this good?
Now the sad parts. There were a few, unfortunately.
Neeraj Chopra got a silver only. A thrower from Sri Lanka threw 89.75m and won it.
Neeraj is coming back from an injury and said himself that he is not at full strength yet. The good news was Yash Vir Singh winning bronze right behind him.
Our weightlifters won 8 medals. But 6 of them were silver. Six times we were just one good lift away from gold. Six times it did not come. That one hurts.
And in athletics, our runners and jumpers won 10 medals but no gold. Everyone finished second or third. Nobody finished first.
Now, for years people have said the same thing about India. That we only win medals because of shooting and wrestling. Remove those, and we are nothing.
Well. This time someone actually removed them. All of them. Every sport we depend on was taken out.
And we still finished 4th in the world.
The sports that were supposed to be our weak ones carried us. Boxing. Judo. Para athletics. Long distance running.
People said we win only because of easy sports. The easy sports were removed. We won anyway. :)
EXCLUSIVE:
Nadeem Anwar Shaikh, Shafiq Mulani and an armed Muslim gang raided a Dalit family's home at 1 am on July 28 with a pistol, koytas and swords, and abducted their 26-year-old daughter.
Not Pakistan — BUT Daund, Maharashtra, just 75 kms from Pune.
While leaving, they shouted they are doing this for "Ghazwa-e-Hind." They also said nagarsevak Badshah Shaikh's power was behind them and that they had already committed many crimes.
They abused the family as "Cham***", snatched the mother's 1.5 tola gold chain, took Rs 50,000 from the cupboard, and dragged the girl into a car, MH 12 EB 7893.
The gang reportedly tried to run over police who moved to stop the abduction.
The mother stayed silent, fearing they would kill her daughter.
No arrests yet.

Ronaldo fans now will try to gaslight all of us that it's Fabrizio Romano that's fabricating words and the media don't like him.
But here he is again taking a subtle dig at Messi.
Before it was ligue 1. Now it's MLS.
Petulant human being
VARdrid fans and their lack of brains strikes once more!
The MLS is divided into East and West conferences during playoffs. If you win your semi-final, you win your conference and go on to meet the winner of the other conference. It's the same thing in Stanley Cup playoffs.
Cuando mi país ganó estuve 2 días sin usar el celular, porq estuve en los festejos, y cuando lo agarré estuve los meses siguientes likeando videos donde festejábamos, Messi levantaba la copa, y los festejos en el vestuario. No somos ni parecidos
There are thousands of people liking and quoting this as if Messi was asking for a foul and not just signaling that he’s injured. Some of you have subhuman intelligence.
I still laugh at that Mbappé interview. He admitted he didn’t really watch Messi growing up because Cristiano was his idol. Then he said that when he grew up, he started learning Messi’s game and concluded that Messi is simply the best… before quickly adding, “along with Cristiano.” That last part felt like he was just keeping the peace. 😂
تدخل ميسي عليك في كأس العالم❓
عيسى ماندي (الجزائر):
"في تلك اللحظة... خلال 5 ثوانٍ، أنتم تعرفون مكان التدخل وكيف حدث، نحن لا نملك ذلك، أنا لم أشعر... شعرت بضربة نعم، شعرت بضربة بالتأكيد، لكن لم أكن مدركاً
لم أكن مدركاً أن كاحلي قد التوى، في الواقع شعرت بالألم بعد ضربة الكاحل في غرف الملابس، قلت: هذا غريب!
بعدما شاهدت اللقطة، قالوا لي: "كانت تستحق بطاقة حمراء"، لكن أنا لا أفكر في ذلك إطلاقاً
ميسي كان لديه رد فعل سريع بالاعتذار مباشرة، وقال لي: "هل أنت بخير؟"
Vous étiez né quand Cr7 envoyait un joueur Irakien à l’hôpital parce qu’il se faisait déchirer 4-2?
Machado ne vous a pas partagé cette archive ?
Je m’en occupe
Greatest quotes of football :
1.“The downfall of the great has always been the joy of the mediocre.”
2. " Ronaldo still has to achieve Messi's failures"
Took a few day but this has always been the hardest part about supporting Messi.
Watching him pull off the hardest carry jobs in the game with inferior teams around him—only to lose anyway. As if it's the football gods' only way to nerf him.
This has nothing to do with losing as well. Losing is part of sports and life. More often than not, it's even a good thing. But after a 12 G/A tournament at 39 years old. How was I supposed to bear watching him lose?
People are not even clocking the fact that Messi has taken Argentina to 9, YES NINE, major finals and won 4. And LOOK at the rosters he did it with.
Started 3 of the last 4 World Cup finals too. His sheer consistency and desire to show up, even after 2022, is greatness.
But if you're a real Messi fan, he would have taught you that his/the ultimate trophy is his family waiting for him at home.
And for how good Spain was—I can't even be that sad.
Leo is simply my guy. Forever will be. Main reason why I became a Barca fan too.
Till the end Leo. ❤️
كمية التدليس والنفاق التي اراها هذه الفترة لم أراها في حياتي سابقاً
تصريحات كلها ترجمتها مفبركة، الحملة السوقية التي يتعرض لها ميسي ولاعبي الأرجنتين هذه الأيام فوق الوصف
بالنهاية كلها كرة قدم وجلد مدور، ما تستاهل الواحد يوصل لهالمرحلة من الكذب عيني وعينك
المضحك ان هذا التصريح ستجده متناقل بكل مكان لأن شخص ما قرر التدليس وافتراء كلام مترجم من راسه
الكثير هذه الأيام اصبح يلهث وراء التريندات واللايكات والمشاهدات للأسف
