Spain intentionally did what they did so my point mainly reflects on them.

I dont think that Portugal was trying at all to beat Korean team. I see it like that.

In my sense of sport ethics, you dont calculate, you dont avoid opponents, you dont play like Portugal did. You are winning WC cause you are best, not by manipulations. Ok, i probably overreacted as i am Uruguay fan too, but i still think that Portugal didnt do anything to actually win.


If you ask “did Portugal played with the best team”, the answer is no, because mainly of some yellow card players and also to give opportunity to other good players.

 

if you ask if Portugal played for win, o think they did. But as in many other times, they play in lazy and overconfident way just because they are qualified and are against a weaker team.

 

I’ve seen this other times before, come to my mind one euro where they lost the third match of the group phase with Switzerland also in a shitty way after winning the first two matches, or the draw against Liechtenstein many years ago.

 

I hate it when they play like this, they deserve (and deserved today) to loose.

This german team is far away, the WORST i have ever seen, than this team, the german team of the last world cup was the reincarnation of the 1990 world champions.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Imagine how low you have to sink to make fun of people who try to promote equal rights ...

The more time i spend on this earth, the more i lose faith in humanity.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
