Women's Field Hockey FIH World Cup 2018


Recommended Posts

I read today that China didn't take here their full squad, opting to save players for the Asian Games. Maybe that can explain their dismal performance so far.

It would make sense, since Asian Games are an Olympic Qualifier

Our team is beyond pathetic.

13 PC no goal, opponent 1 shot and it's goal :facepalm:this tournament is probably going to be the worst disappointment of argentine sport since football WC 2002.

and now you have to face NZL in the cross-over to the quarterfinals (with AUS waiting for the winner of that)...

not an easy route, then...

meanwhile, since GBR wasted their chance to win their preliminary group (and assuming they end up 2nd, not making any "trick" to go down to a more favourable 3rd position), we could have a bracket with ITA (I don't see them winning against NED, even if the Dutch girls fall asleep on the pitch during the game) vs USA (this US team :whistle:) or IND...and the winner of that going against IRL in the quarterfinals, which means that almost surely we're going to have a big time surprising team in the top 4 at the end of the tournament...

p.s. very entertaining game last night between AUS and NZL...

and people compaine how competitive is women's water polo :p

I do think this is, generally speaking, not even remotely comparable with the barrage of 15/20+ margins in the water polo :p

    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance of medaling, and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
