Well this was a really fun experience! 
 

I think my biggest surprise was seeing the anthems being played with the lyrics on the tv, karaoke style.

 

also they play the official music of the playing countries, but they did not played the Dutch one, I guess they don’t have one (although I was really hopping they would play “Wij zijn oranje” by andres hazes)

Denmark lost again, but still can qualify I think. A win over Russia is very possible and with Belgium defeating Finland there should be a 3 teams tie with 3 points

Yeah. A win where we score more than one goal will mean 2nd place (as long as Belgium beat Finland). If Finland lose with 1-0 or by more than a goal I believe a 1-0 victory will do as well.

UEFA works for their VIP's. What, really?

It's not like there isn't plenty to criticize. Moving matches 2½ weeks before they are to take place won't help at all (though we all know UEFA doesn't give a hoot)!

Ugh. I'd like to see the final remain at Wembley, but making an exception for those 2500 (!) officials, politicians and so on....just because. That's batshit crazy, unless they do have to adhere to other strict rules (which I doubt).

I'm really impressed that there are no footage of the field crasher. Shows how quickly the producers can react... Unless somebody's fighting for his life! :(

Too bad the snipers didn’t shoot him down. Now I hope that he (Greenpeace as well) gets the living shit sued out of him. It would be completely unacceptable if he wouldn’t have to go to jail over this.

Those were 2 different people. The field crasher I mentioned was in Budapest.

Ah yeah, some words about the Greenpeace moron here too and damn, he was lucky :yikes: Security snipers had their rifles aimed at him, but only due to his Greenpeace logo they didn't open fire (because it was clearly a protest and not a terrorist action)

 

Which raises the question: isn't that sort of dangerous to say? I mean, now a terrorist could just parachute in with a Greenpeace parachute and he won't be shot down :p 

Yes, they definitely should have shot him down, but if they were part of the „Bundeswehr“ they probably would have missed anyways ...

Not sure if terrorists would try an attack that way, seems really inefficient, I think there would be easier ways to cause more damage.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
