Yes this format with the best teams from 3rd place is everytime the worst. There is double advantage of weaker group.

Moreover for me, it does not have sensei, that last matches in same group is needed to play at same time when more important is comparing teams between groups at 3rd places.

 

Euro should be with 16 teams. World Cup with 32 teams. I would prefer this one more despite that Czech will not qualify

Exactly. There's already other sports, if I'm not mistaken, where this thing with 'best numbers 3' exists and that's bad enough, it should be slowly taken away from sports, not added to other sports...it's just entirely unfair because you simply can't fairly compare the performance of teams from different groups.

You do know, that the Governing Bodies are not very keen on "fair competition" or "player health" :d. More teams = More matches = More money. 

 

Is there anything in sports after the 70s, that has went back and reduced the number of competitors :d The tendency is to only increase. Plus all of these countries are happy with the bigger formats, because it will be easier for them to qualify and participate in the big event. If you ask them, I'm sure they would want a Euro with 32 teams, no matter what the quality would be.

Of course I know they're not going to go back to 16 teams, despite the 3rd place nonsense, but one can still have an opinion about it :p 

 

And honestly I'd much rather see a 32 team Euro than a 24 team Euro. To be clear, my first choice would obviously be 16 teams, but with that being entirely unrealistic unfortunately, I'd very much prefer 32 and a normal format over 24 and an intrinsically unfair format.

It´s clearly coming home this time (for sure, this time for sure ! English media calls it, so that must be true :d) since English press thanking Georgia for their gift and already celebrating the easy win against Slovakia next Sunday :d

I'd love for Slovakia to rub their noses in the face :P By the way, I'm surprised by the overconfidence and triumphal of people from a country that last won a major event in... 1966, almost 70 years ago. Before the last Euro final in 2021 with Italy in London, they are also very confident and apparently even the next day was off from work to celebrate :P I would advise the English to be more humble and less triumphal.

Referees for first two KO matches:

 

:POL Szymon Marciniak - :SUI vs :ITA

:ENG Michael Oliver - :GER vs :DEN

This referee from Poland judged the final Champions League in the last year: Inter-Man.City. May he be more happy for us now.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
