Oh I agree, but I think the main reason why I want it on the program is more medal potential  (Canada has that, while Netherlands does not)

We had few early red cards in today's AFC qualifier matches.  PRK managed to get a draw from so-called Asian Champion Qatar despite playing almost the whole match with 10 men! Saudis despite one man down saved themselves by a very late goal and beat China    Iraq also played the entire match with 10 players and managed to not lose to Kuwait. I believe they have a good chance to qualify behind South Korea which will qualify anyway   Japan destroyed Bahrain too, 12 goals in 2 matches  they are clearly a head and shoulder above everybody else. the rest have to fight for the 2nd spot in that group. Australia is in big trouble now with 1 point after 2 "easy" matches.   as for  Iran, despite playing not-so-good they still found a way to win matches 1-0. this reminds  me of 2022 qualification campaign, when the team was playing no good yet managed to win matches mostly 1-0.

South America: Bolivia won two in-a-row, Chile and Peru are still in the bottom of ranking.   1 - 2   1 - 0

I cant remember the last time our national team lost a match before  this day

Asian day 2 won         , only a draw for (0-0 with Indonesia)     South America  2 - 1  

Malta will be participating

Tug of war world championships has ended.   Results in World Games categories:   640 kg men: 500 kg women: 580 kg mixed:   Interesting is that Basque Country grabbed bronze medal in women's division. I don't know how quotas will be decided in this case. As for now nothing is official about quota places in this sport. Info from official website of World Championships.
