But @phelps said last year that they can't play at OG?

 

those who did play in the WBC 2017 can't be in the Olympic team, as they do not have full ISR citizenship...

 

this new group is eligible to play also at WBSC level, as they've been given official ISR citizenship in time...

How is this possible?

Really ITA, NED, ESP and ISR in the same group? Those four countries are - by far - the best teams in Europe!

 

this is better for those teams, with this group composition, they're sure not to face each other in the quarterfinals, so they're safe in the top 5 (which is what they need to go to the olympic qualification tournament)...

 

edit: if the groups are like those posted by @Dunadan they're more balanced, but also more risky for the supposed top 4/5 teams...

  • 1 month later...

tournament started earlier Today...

 

and Spain almost lost to Croatia...:yikes:

finally, however, they survived the scare and won 3-2...

 

meanwhile Italy destroyed France (16-2) and Israel and Belgium edged out Czech Republic and Austria, 6-1 and 5-1 respectively...

 

Sweden and Germany start their game in a few minutes, while the Netherlands and Great Britain were stopped by darkness (Solingen's stadium doesn't have floodlights :yikes::facepalm::wall: just tell me if it's acceptable in 2019 to have the ECHs hosted in such kind of venue :redcard::spank::hairpull:)...

 

here you can find all the info you need: schedule, results, standings and stats from every game...

This Israel team with American-born players looks really strong. I think they may qualify for Tokyo. 

I was thinking that as well, but the Dutch are generally a good bet for international tournaments. Either way the Europe/Africa  qualifier should be fun.

For me the Israel team is favorit to win the Olympic berth, however, they are struggling against Sweden (3-3 in the 9th inning). 

Netherlands miss their best players, otherwise they had a big chance to qualify.

Italy are also not even close to what they could be with their best MLB/Triple A players...

 

however, I don't think this Israeli team is good enough to beat NED and ITA in the OQT...they're not even close to the group they were at the last World Baseball Classic (and also in that tournament they didn't have an impressive pitching staff, it was all about their batsmen)...

We'll see, but at this moment NED is struggling against Czech Republic, so I have no illusions NED is at the same level of last international championships.

Hopefully it turns out there is little differences between the teams, that gives us nice matches to watch!

    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".     
    • Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds
    • From my experience it is better to go by what they intended rather than what was written. The point being is that should the United States be in a position to take the Pan American quota, the quota will be reallocated to the world qualifiers.   It can be a bit frustrating, but these documents aren't exactly written to define what happens in every scenario, even though they should. If someone from the IOC/sport federations are here, I'd love to proof read your documents . 
    • Team Casper is headed to Milan-Cortina!!   Lots of misses by China throughout the match, some of which were just bad luck.  Thrilled for Danny and company.  Glad they don't have to play another game
