America is 1 continent not 2 , they are 10 countries in southern part +20-30 in north , they can make groups just like others ,

hé no, they divided the continent to ensure the qualif of USA , they play vs islands without any experience in football , that's why they qualify,they are always in 

they know  they have no  chance vs south american teams , this system of cheating is shameful

Knowing our luck Poland will draw Canada now and promptly lose their first WC match to a CONCACAF team :lol:

 

:POL is 4-0-0 vs CONCACAF teams (7-0 vs  :HAI in 1974, 3-1 vs :MEX in 1978, 3-1 vs :USA in 2002 and 2-1 vs :CRC in 2006).

I mean, hey, whatever you want!

Except that CONCACAF and CONMEBOL existed since 1948 and since 1958 when the qualifications started by continent there were different qualifiers for north and south america. (just like volleyball and norcaeca and csv)

I never really got that argument anyway.  North and South America are one continent, but Europe is not just a peninsula of the Eurasian continent?  You can even throw Africa in there since the Sinai Isthmus is the same as the Panamanian Isthmus.  And let's not even get into cultural differences.  Besides, Europe gets more quotas than Europe anyway.

Not even an argument...... it was never an issue, there were always separate qualification tournaments, with 24,32 and even next time with 48

As we also often see in Olympic qualification, the number of federations is vastly different and it happens that it would be similar if you divided the world in 4 zones instead of having some with 10 teams and some with 50...Europe (and South America, which will get to qualify at least 60% of their teams next times) get more teams but remember what was happening when, with the old FIFA ranking until 2018, the coefficient of a zone was determined by intercontinental games, results were so one sided in favor of UEFA and CONMEBOL against the rest that they had to introduce a completely made up minimum that in practice was giving N. American, Asian and African teams 3,4, sometimes 6 times the number of points that they earned "on the field"

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
