Women's Field Hockey FIH World Cup 2018


Recommended Posts

Alright, FIH needs to make sure there is not conflict between WC and AG in the future... Scandalous performance from the Asian teams.

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)...

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health. 
    • Marian Kasprzyk (boxing) - 1964 Olympic Champion & 1960 bronze medallist passed away at the age of 86.
    • It was removed the next day.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
