Spain lost against Netherlands 

Gyökeres 4 goals against  today. 

crazy week in Asia, KSA lost to Indonesia, so called Asian Champion Qatar lost 5-0 to UAE and Korea dropped 2pts against Palestine once again. Australia was lucky to escape another defeat vs Bahrain by a late goal.    Japan will most probably secure the qualification spot (as the first team) in March. Iran also has 16pts so far but the performance is far from good. our team still plays terrible  but somehow manages a way to win matches.    Group C is really interesting, behind Japan we have Australia with 7pts and 4 more teams with 6pts!  everything is possible, BRN, INA and CHN they all have a chance to even clinch a direct qualification spot. Bahrain could end this week with 6pts but some crazy things happened in extra time for them and they ended up with just 1 ! 

Using the nations league for playoff qualification is such a bad idea.

By this results San Marino is possible to play a qualifiying play-off to 2026 World Cup. If the favorits from pot 1 and 2 will finish 1st and/or 2nd in their qualifiying groups then North Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Moldova and San Marino will play a two rounds of single-match play-offs. So the last team in FIFA ranking could play a world cup qualifying play-off, that's absolutely insane

Let's do this: You let Jasmine win the 1st cup for Italy tomorrow and we'll send you Sinner to Bratislava for a week of tennis camp with children and youth. Deal? 

If Slovakia can hold out mentally, they will probably be a slight favorite. Sramkova and the doubles are in better shape than Paolini and Paolini-Errani. But yesterday Paolini played a great match against Swiatek... I`m not going to predict the final result.

this is something I would never have bet for in my life.   Crazy Lipták could not reach a success in 2013 with a team of Hantuchová, Cibulková & Rybarikova and now managed the final with a bunch of complete underdogs... that is some san marino-esque story here   anyway, whatever will happen in the final tomorrow already super proud

The question is who will be the 2nd racket for Slovakia and for us. I wonder if the Slovak coach won't be send Schmiedlova in the 1st match tomorrow? In Italy will be Bronzetti or Cocciaretto.

6-2, 5-2... Tomorrow will be very hard for us. For me will be ideal 50/50. Will be 2-0 for Italy, 0-2 for Svk or all decider in doubles. I hope that our experience will be key. Today Slovakian doubles it`s fantastic.
