They're lucky they got an automatic qualification spot for this edition due to the expansion to 20 teams. I honestly would rather see a team like Brazil or Germany than China at the next edition

Totally. If the qualifying tournaments stay the same where Asia and America is combined. They would have place top two in a group with :BRA:ARG possibly :CUB or :NCA depending on how the pool play goes. Not to mention, :PHI could bring a solid roster to the table if they choose to participate.

One of the great things about international sports tournaments is that it brings people of various countries and cultures together. Here's a few home run calls from yesterday in other languages.

 

:TWN Kungkuan Giljegiljaw

 

:KOR Yang Euiji

:JPN Kensuke Kondoh

 

:CZE Martin Musik

It would be fun to see :GUM:PLW:NMI make the tournament since they regularly play baseball. Of course, they just don’t have the talent pool and facilities of other higher ranked countries.

Panama doubles the lead. 2-0 now. Italy's chances of advancing slowly dwindling

This group will be a bit of mess if :PAN wins this though.

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
