Azeem Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Asian Games are one of the oldest alongside with Pan American games but the most prestigous regional multi-sport event. Indonesia is hosting the event for the second time after 1962 and this will the first time after 20 years the games will be played in South East Asia when Bangkok hosted it in 1998 last time. I'll be posting more in coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Last time Indonesia hosted this thing we lost the bid for hosting just by one vote. What should i be surprised about ? That we lost by one vote or we put forward a bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted July 20, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 20, 2018 This one was supposed to take place in Vietnam, but they opted out of being the host some time after winning the bid; it's just too expensive and not very beneficial economically.

Azeem Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Our football team has been playing practise matches against Bahraini top division clubs and they played well. Two wins out of three. The team is off to Turkey now. First time we've had a South American coach (Brazilian) and i always thought South American coaches can do better with Asian sides like us were people want to see goals and rough tackles.

We and India use to be quite good at Asian level in the 50s and 60s with India obviously having the edge in resources. Far ahead than Southeast Asians and on par with the likes of Japan. India is in the right direction we are making baby steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when it was but it was a very important step in breaking down racial barriers as india were regarded as inferior athletically but won the game.
