There is a Disney movie already in production to celebrate Ireland's penalty shoot-out success to beat Netherlands and lift the World title

6-0, and a really tough lesson from the Dutch girls. Still super proud of our team, a team of amateurs who apart from a couple of players, all have full-time jobs outside of the sport. And they had to

and here we go...

one between ITA, IRL and IND (all Countries with a name beginning with "I", by the way...for those who like "kabbala" or "cabala", depending on your language) will be in the top 4...

and the other team in the same semifinal as ITA/IRL/IND will come from the trio GER/BEL/ESP...:yikes::lol:

the English organizers did build their pathway to the final really shameless...but their girls wasted that gift big time...:whistle::lol:

What? not really, it was all determined by ranking and serpentine system: pool A: (1st, 8th, 9th & 16th), B: (2,7,10, 15), C: (3, 6, 11, 14), D: (4, 5, 12, 13)

 

The semifinal was supposed to be England-Argentina (2v3), it's just that both teams (and New Zealand too) failed to perform.

really? I thought it was done by (manipulated) "draw"...:facepalm:

in this case we can only blame fate and underperforming teams like GBR, ARG and NZL...

sorry for my misinterpretation (I hope the local organizers will forgive me for the bad thoughts about them)...:red:

So Wikipedia got the draw wrong? According to Wikipedia one of the seminfinals should be Netherlands vs. Germany (the 2 strongest teams in my opinion, so i am not quiet sure what the ":lol:" is supposed to say here?) if everything goes according to plan. If Germany would really only have to beat ESP/BEL and ITA/IRL/IND to reach the final, then anything but Germany reaching the final would be a huge shock. Germany vs. Netherlands would be the best final in my opinion, although i am not sure how close it would be (despite Xavier Reckinger doing a great job in continuing the trend that Jamilon Mülders started).

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

the graphics by BT Sport after yesterday's matches showed a GER/BEL/ESP vs IRL/ITA/IND top half of the draw (and the other teams in the bottom half)...

so, I guess wiki this time is not right...

or maybe BT Sport was wrong...I don't really know...however, Italian media also have the BT Sport kind of brackets and not the wiki ones...

 

EDIT: also the FIH official website has the brackets as BT Sport presented...so, wiki is definitely wrong, this time...

 

p.s. the smiley means that ENG haven't been able to take advantage of a very favourable draw (even if it wasn't actually a draw, since all the teams were put into the groups by the serpentime system according to their WR)...

      Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

      What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.

      Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.

      What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.

      There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.

      Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season.
