Schick highly disagrees though :d 

 

(or was it Forsberg? I forgot, but I know yesterday or the day before someone scored a penalty after he was fouled, because I remember thinking 'that is some awesome revenge' :p )

Schick has to kick even with broken leg :p

 

Forsberg was not the "fouled", it was Quaison

Yeah I thought Schick was the correct answer, taking (and making) the penalty with his bloody nose :bowdown: 

 

That's the biggest middle finger you can give to the player who fouled you :cheer:

This team sucks. These two games against Sweden and Poland are the most boring football games I remember in the last few years. Now we need to win against Slovakia to advance and considering who are our forwards, I am not confident at all.

Right, all groups have had their second rounds of matches now. In the current situation, the third-placed teams in groups F (Portugal, 3 points), C (Austria, 3 points), B (Finland, 3 points) and E (Spain, 2 points) would qualify for the knockout round.

 

The combination of these four groups means that the 1/8th finals involving third-placed teams would be as follows:
Belgium - Portugal
Netherlands - Spain
Sweden - Austria
France - Finland

 

And the 1/8th finals not involving third-placed teams as of now would be as follows:
Italy - Ukraine
England - Slovakia
Czech Republic - Germany
Wales - Russia

 

Obviously this can and most likely will change quite a lot in the last round of group play, of all 24 teams, only the Netherlands is 100% certain of it's final place in the group.

I see that the Western articles about the behavior of the Hungarian fans have arrived as it was expected. Cue to sweeping statements from some people about how Hungary is fascist and racist and shouldn't be allowed to host international events. Interestingly enough nobody is making a big deal about how the French fans were throwing plastic glasses and bottles in the direction of Gulácsi. 

 

But they will "show it to Hungary" in Munich by decorating buildings with pride flags and maybe even have the arena lit up in rainbow colors (doubt that UEFA will allow the latter). As if anyone here would either care or appreciate such a gesture. Hungarian conservatives won't give a shit about it or they will laugh at it, and the Hungarian progressives will see it as an empty gesture because they know Germany won't actually do anything that can help their cause in Hungary.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • 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.
