If Australia makes the semis next week they will guarantee a spot to the Olympics. Both Samoa and South Africa have to at least make the cup quarters to have a chance to qualify.

It doesn't help that Group C is shaping up to be the most competitive in terms of the number of nations trying to get an individual quota.

Yup, there's a good chance the roster for the Olympics will be the current core teams plus South Africa who is going to be promoted next season. Maybe China or a different European team might pull off an upset. I don't have a lot of faith in Brazil, but they should still get the South American quota, but maybe Colombia has the game of their lives.

Does Lithuania even have a third athlete for the team event? The Group C quota will likely be between Hungary and Poland. Maybe Czechia will attend if they want to play the odds.

Nice to see Olympic qualification coming down to a single head-to-head match

Australia could have solidified their spot at the Olympics, but choked to Canada. They can still be in a good position if they defeat South Africa in their next match. Spain needs to at least defeat Samoa if they want to leap frog Uruguay for the last guaranteed core spot

Pretty much, Fiji getting the spot doesn't take anything directly away for Great Britain/Ireland. The hard part will be actually qualifying to the final qualifier. Poor bracket placement at the European Games could see one of the nations eliminated early or Spain could pull off the upset.

France decided to defeat Australia in the final pool stage match forcing Ireland to face Australia.

Participating Nations B-Boys - B-Girls -

The gap between them is not that massive. Though I do agree Deguchi is the more consistent between the two.

For a lot of organizations, you don't need many donors to get a lot of money, just the "right" donors.

It's always a shame when teams have to pull out due to funding. It's tough and expensive for team sports. Canada did the same thing with the World Cup.

I'm glad they moved the European qualifications out of the World Cup. Having non-European nations influencing who qualifies was always going to create issues. Especially with Europe getting so few quotas. Not sure why FIFA felt Africa & South America deserves two guaranteed quotas each, they should have kept the quota split the same as 2020.
