The Philippine Delegation @ The Nakhon Ratchasima Southeast Asian Games [Da
2007-12-09 19:26:00 The 24th Southeast Asian Games started four days ago and as expected, host Thailand has been dominating the field. As of December 10 (1:42 AM), the Thais have amassed an impressive total of 66 gold medals, 58 silver medals and 41 bronze medals. I personally don’t believe in looking at the tallies ...

The Qatar Asian Games
2007-05-08 14:00:00 Just eighteen days to go to the Asian Games, and as I write this (at eleven o? clock on a Friday evening), I can hear the frantic banging of electric drills and screeching of dragged metal girders from the road outside. The whole city seems like a building site, and is in a rushed scramble to get ready before the eyes of Asia turn upon it. Of special annoyance is the seemingly random opening and shutting of roads ? never with notice, signs or explanation.Yet I have a feeling that everything will go smoothly during the games themselves. Yes, there will still be unfinished buildings everywhere, and there will be journalists sleeping on floors (a friend is putting up several), but the stadiums are built, the rehearsals complete and the roads ? well, lets not talk about roads anymore. It?s a sore point with Doha residents. But they?ll be functioning. The city is immensely proud of having won the opportunity to host the 19th Asian Games. The successful holding of the games are crucial to...

Qatar football team takes the gold medal as Asian Games finish
2007-04-30 16:03:00 The Asian Games finished with a bang for Qatar today as, just an hour before the start of an amazing closing ceremony based on the 1001 nights, they beat Iraq 1-0 to win the gold medal in the Asian Games football tournament.The game itself was far from spectacular, and though Qatar easily outplayed Iraq, they were far from their best. Despite this, Qatar could easily have had several more goals - Sebastian Quintana very nearly scored seven minutes into the game, but the Iraqi goalkeeper managed to deflect his header out of the net. Apart from that the first half was uneventful, with some mostly unconvincing attempts by the Qatar team, although Khalfan Ibrahim did have a spectacular run at the goal, easily beating several Iraqi players but not quite able to score.Iraq made more of an effort in the second half, putting the host team under pressure for the first time in the game, although Qatar rarely looked in serious danger of conceding a goal. Finally, Qatar player Rajem managed to ...

Asian Games football
2007-04-30 16:01:00 Qatar beat Iran last night in a packed Al Sadd stadium, inflicting the first defeat on Iran in fifteen Asian Games football matches. Sebastian Quintana scored the first of two goals at 28 minutes. Hussain Yaser Adbulrahman, a former English League player, then scored a second goald, bouncing the ball off a defender into the net 74 minutes into the game. The large Qatari crowd was ecstatic, shooting down the Corniche after the game to celebrate by driving their landcruisers up and down the Corniche. Qatar will now meet Iraq (who earlier beat the Koreans 1-0) in the finals.Qatar soccerUpdate: the venue for the finals has been changed to Al Sadd and the time to 4 0' clock.Book flights,hotels or cars with Expedia.Qatar Visitor BookstoreTagsQatar Doha Middle East

Qatar Asian Olympic Games and the Sport City
2007-04-30 15:59:00 Once again it was a grey Qatar day. If you haven't been here before, ?you might get the wrong impression about Qatar - even confuse it with an English autumn. In fact I've ?been told that this is the worst weather Qatar has ever had (although that is a European viewpoint - ?Qataris normally greet rain with delight,) and I'm sure we've had the average yearly fall of seven ?centimetres in the last two weeks.?Along with many other Qatari residents, we braved the rain and went along to Sport City today. To do ?so we had to first park the car - the one draw back of the day. This muddy mess of a car-park was ?obviously one designed with landcruisers in mind - if there had ever been such a thing as a design. At ?least we had a car - there didn't appear to be any buses, and there is a chronic lack of taxis in the ?cities. Most of my car-less friends rely on illegal private drivers to get around.?It was my first time within the huge complex, and parking aside, I ?was amazed and impresse...

Asian games football: Qatar v. Thailand (quarter finals)
2007-04-30 15:52:00 As we arrived at the AL Gharaffa stadium in Doha earlier this evening, the previous match had just come to a halt and a couple of thousand Iraqi supporters were going wild, chanting "Iraq" over and over again. Eventually, they started to move away and we nabbed a centre field seat, jammed our free Qtel/Qatar hats over our heads and settled down to watch the match.We thought this was going to be a tough match for Qatar, and indeed they nearly conceded a goal immediately. For the first ten minutes the Thais seemed to be all over the Qatari team, who were nervous and seemed unable to coordinate as a team. The right-winger on the Thai team seemed particularly dangerous, and we were sure he would end up scoring a goal.However, Qatar gradually pulled themselves together, and, 26 minutes into the match, the ball rebounded off the Thai goal keeper and was tapped back in by Khalfan Ibrahim.After this, the Qatar team outplayed the Thais, although they had some help with some spectacular saves...

Doha Asian Games - cycling on the Corniche
2007-04-30 15:50:00 Yesterday we had another day of rain in Qatar. Being a desert country, Qatar's roads and drains are not set up for flooding, and - on the backroads, which have avoided the pre-Asian Games facelift and where potholes are still common - driving was distinctly hazardous.Rain was followed by a day of English grayness, but that didn't put off Qatar residents. Many flocked to the stadiums to watch the Games, while other took their plastic chairs down to the Corniche, where the roads had been blocked off for the cycling and running events.

A day at the Asian Games
2007-04-30 15:48:00 After being bedridden with illness for several days, I finally got to witness some action at the Asian Games today. I chose Qatar Sports Club, and though the place was far from full it wasn't quiet either. Qatar has done its best to make the Games accessible to all, including those on the tightest of budgets - I got to see three different sports (and I could have seen more if I'd been there since 9.00 a.m.) for a paltry ten riyals ($2.50). They also had a huge number of volunteers helping out - far more than were needed, but a nice way of getting people involved in the games.First we watched the men's soft tennis doubles. Although the sitting area was small, it wasn't nearly full - there must have been around 60 supporters for Taiwan and Korea. They still managed to deafen us with their cheering, though. After that, we moved across to the women's single, and watched a tiny Taiwanese lady thrash the Chinese and win Taiwan's first gold medal these games. (China seems to have tak...
