For me Japan is a clear favorite here , they have been really dominant in recent friendlies , great WC defeating Germany and Spain and barely losing to Croatia in Penalties , Same Coach from 2018 , big motives as they didn't win it since 2011 , they will be missing a key player like Mitoma whom was added to their final list I believe , so maybe they plan to use him at the very closing stages IDK .

 

Korea is their biggest competitor here with 4 world class players providing a great season Son , Hwang Hee Chan was absolutely insane with Wolves this season , Kang in Lee with PSG and Kim Min Jae with Napoli last season , he hasn't impressed much with Bayern this season , but still he's definitely one of the best defenders in the world , the only concern with this team is Klinsmann , he has never succeeded in any team after Germany National team , I don't believe in him returning this missing title to Korea since 1960 

 

Iran is always a favorite , but they were much better in 2015 and 2019 with the same coach and yet they didn't win,  so it would be a surprise if they win here 

 

Australia is another favorite , they were really good in last WC , they could have even turn tables on Argentina in R16 , but it's not a strong generation and definitely Japan and Korea has better Squad

 

Saudi Arabia is always a team to follow , they hadn't done any good results since 2007 final and this crazy signings of world class players made a lot of players in Saudi National team prisoners of bench this season and actually some of them want to return back to Europe like Benzema and Firminio , the league hasn't been recognized globally , only Cristiano Fans watchins his matches and Sports' Media covering his news with Benzema maybe and that's it , so I guess this experiment didn't achieve any of its goals , even on technical side many of these old players except Ronaldo didn't provide any extra thing to Saudi Pro League 

 

Outsiders : last Editions has provided that even in Asia there are outsiders for the title with Iraq winning in 2007 and Qatar winning in 2019 , UAE was so close in 2015 , so yeah surprises happen even in Asia , as long as the tournament on Arabic Soil I predict this outsider to be an Arabic team so it can be Iraq , Qatar didn't prove anything since winning last edition so I doubt

    • out in the quarterfinals    Bankes was looking really good for most of it. 
    • You know that we could get back Vilnus and for example not have this "German" lands. The people who decided about Europe and World there have different plans for this. Believe me 99% has problems with Vilnus being Lithuanian and Lvov in Ukraine Do not judge Poland by "football fans", most of Polish did not like this hooligans too. They can devastate even things in Poland and create many dangerous situation... Fortunately mostly in league matches
    • Bozzolo crashed in his race, and somehow they still advance? This should not be possible 
    • This max penalty thing is so stupid 
    • No anti Russian and German vibe is really strong, but half of nation could admire German change after 2 world. We respect that they try to be over the past and not letting this happened again.  Anti Ukraine feelings are really strong now, because they have a Bandera as a Hero, and not let for exhumation in Volhynia. This hits for our relations so strong. We are really cool with Belarussian. Really neutral  with Czech and Slovakia. Lithuania too. I think even Polish People are into Baltics country more.
    • To be honest? Polish People nowadays like Lithuania. The main bad feelings are for Ukraine, Russia, Germany. Rest neighbours we are cool. I was in the Lithuania and have nice chats there,  they react nicely when I told them I am Polish. If we speak about Lithuania it was a Little hard moment when Lithuania has a problem with polish language  and schools and treat badly polish minority. If we speak about short Polish-Lithuanian war after I world or our Republic before it is not sth harmful and shameful for both nation. Vilnus was strongely connected with Poland. 
    • Big Air Men Gold-  Ryoma Kimata (176.25) Silver-  Taiga Hasegawa (174.50) Bronze-  Ollie Martin (171.75)   Women Gold-  Kokomo Murase (162.50) Silver-  Reira Iwabuchi (156.00) Bronze-  Mari Fukada (153.25)   Absolute dominance by Japan, claiming 5/6 of the medals    Full Final Results Here
    • Uk/france will send their army to ukraine soon...ww 3 some people prepare themselve to leave europe 
    • got the 2 quotas because a skater can't get more than 16 points in the free skating even if they finish lower than that. With the other one being in the 12th position, Switzerland got exactly 28 points needed to qualify 2 skaters via the World Championships.
    • My theory is that there were not enough ice rinks for all figure skaters and ice hockey players in USSR, so only those who had a bigger chance for medals could properly train. Since there were good pairs and dancers (and ice hockey teams), why bother about women?
