:ECU is almost in while :PER v :URU may determine the final direct qualifier should there be a winner. A draw opens things up for :COL to steal the spot, but will need results to go their way. :CHI probably needs to defeat :BRA though a draw could work.

:CAN wins 2-0 over :ESA after scoring what might be (and I am not exaggerating) one of the luckiest  goals in the history of football. In added time Borjan made a spectacular save and David scores a goal when all of El Salvador was pressing for an equalizer.

 

:CAN is not yet qualified for sure, but it would take an insane sequence of events for Canada not to qualify. Three points out of three matches would do it even if none of the other results are favorable.

I think it’s looking certain CAS will either be ignored or abolished if they block FIFA banning Russia? Will CAS want that? 

Great fucking idea, let's abolish the one institution that everyone recognizes as a legitimate neutral court for the world of sports, that will surely solve everything...

I can understand people's emotions but this is setting a precedent, which will be used in future. Iran will claim that Israel is at war with it and hence they are within their rights to deny their athletes visa, which is much lower than banning Russia. Same with India-Pakistan Serbia-Kosovo and many others.

When is the last time an Israeli athlete competed in Iran?

It will happen through if CAS decide to allow Russia to compete. FIFA won’t want to have to cancel the World Cup simply becuase a Court says Russia can’t be expelled. Withdrawing from CAS might be their only option.

‘French Football Federation president Noel le Graet suggested Russia should be banned from the World Cup, telling French media outlet Le Parisien he would "lean towards" the move.

 

From the BBC. I suspect if Russia are then not banned France will withdraw.

    • She's quite well-known in the world of alpine skiing, and besides, she's had several serious injuries and always returned to a high level. Now, for me, she has a chance to win a medal in the giant slalom on OG.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately show the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
