  1. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    I'm honestly a bit baffled that the mods allow this thread to go on. Nothing is likely to come out of it other than bad blood among board members.
  2. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    I see your point. We should definitely nuke Isengard.
  3. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    The Trump regime massacred a school ful of Iranian children in broad daylight, thus I hereby demand Kanak Jha be banned from all competitions, effective immediately. Also, he's clearly boosting.
  4. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    ETTU shared the titular sentiment, CAS disagreed. I, for one, am glad that Sidorenko is playing. Serbian athletes competed in the 1992 Olympics when the regime of Slobodan Milošević committed genocide all over former Yugoslavia and no one made a huge fuss over it.

    Sidorenko's adaptation is impressive. Anyways, Truls is done here. The injury is obviously bothering him.
  6. F ESP 1-0 ARG After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    Brazil isn't a superpower any more. That 7-1 loss against Germany in 2014 cursed them.

    Are those hickies on Truls' neck, lol 🤣

    So do I. Getting the urge to smash your racket every five points isn't expressive play, it's emotional disbalance

    Felix needs to take up meditation or something. He has no control over his nerves whatsoever.

    It happens to everyone, sure. In most cases, it's a deviation, whereas with Harimoto, it's a pattern. Very much the opposite. Body language is extremely indicative of a person's mental state, and the patterns are pretty universal.

    I was talking about his mental game. He blew a 10-6 lead in game 2, made a string of unforced errors and finally, pay attention to the body language and facial expressions when things aren't going his way. This part is pretty self-explanatory. Also, Vlad was taking advantage of his inability to...

    When you guys talk about a player being complete or otherwise, it seems that you don't mean the same thing. A complete table tennis player for me is someone who doesn't have blatant deficiencies in technique, footwork, physical fitness, explosive strength, mental game and tactical...

    He's at 70% at best. And that's not counting his mental game, which is now a far cry from what it used to be, but the Sidorenko match perfectly illustrates that he isn't quite there yet.

    That's common, most right wing politicians over here (🇭🇷) who are old enough to have been members of the communist party HAVE been members of the communist party. Every former communist country is similar in that regard, the hypocrisy of Kaja Kallas is the norm, not an exception.

    09:15 Truls complains about the ball touching Sidorenko's shirt, the coach tells him to shut up and play. :ROFLMAO: I remember watching this video a decade ago, thinking the feisty little Swede is either going to burn out or become world class.

    No, politicizing the sport is not okay, regardless of who does it. What "WTT elites" are doing pales in comparison to the ETTU. Remember, it took a CAS ruling to get them to lift the blanket ban on Russian and Belarusian players. Oh, and since we're in here discussing politics, how do you...

    Sure, but not in the tournament thread.

    Typical Anders, slays a king, doesn't show up.
