That’s probably a reason yes :d

I just listened whole Loreen song and I can say that this is much better song than "Euphoria" (which I personaly feel so overhyped and overrated) was in 2012. If Sweden will select her then it's almost sure that :SWE will win Eurovision once more ;) Of course unless :AZE or :GBR will not bring some banger :d

Thank you so much. But like Euphoria I want to focus on one step in one time. Now she’s in the National Final. Now I need to see if she wins the final. Nothing is secured before the results are in and announced. Then if she win I can focus on ESC. But even if she will compete in ESC she has a semifinal to pass first.

 

Thank you for your lovely comment. :clap:

:FIN makes the best possible choice and selected Käärijä :cheer: My new first place, dethroning :NOR Alessandra :p

 

 

and here is the winner in :SMR 

 

 

Tomorrow :POL will select the act from those 10 songs. Who is your favourite?

Mine is Jann as I mentioned beyond, but also Domink Dudek and Felivers would be good choice

 

 

Jann can bring the best result in a long time for Poland . I even think he can win ESC with a good staging. 

 

I like Alicija’s song too but not the fact it’s about the war. Enough with pity votes. The same as I want Maria Sur to flop hard in the MelFest final. But I so want to see Alicija in ESC. Empires was so good and it is one of the songs I so wanted to see in Rotterdam 2020. 

 

Big of luck. :clap:

 

About Finland’s choice I just :sick: :redcard:

I don't understand the Loreen hype, Euphoria was a far better executed popsong. I guess the songs this year are so weak that this is enough to rank #1 at the bookies... I really hope the BBC nails their song selection this year as they are the hosts and win the contest this time for real.

Well she will not compete against Euphoria, right. We will see but I see her as the only right choice to Liverpool. 

 

Btw I miss Hungary so badly in ESC.

Yeah... we aren't coming back, ever. Hungarian society is so far removed from what Eurovision represents at this point that it might as well be in a different universe. We are a mini-Russia, and we are very determined to stay on this path for a long, long time.

I feel so far removed from what the Eurofans consider a good song. 

 

Personally, I find Finland, Norway and Czech Republic sounding very cheap, but they're hyped liked they're the best thing to happen to Eurovision.

 

Especially the Finnish song from 1:50. What the fuck is that Keiino transition :lol: 

 

Thankfully Loreen wins the entire thing, an absolute cinematic experience from the very first show. She should've won with Statements too, but this one has more mainstream appeal, so I'm fairly certain that we'll see her in Liverpool.

So dissapointed but expected result in :POL Blanka with average "summer vibes" song wins our selection. Now Im doubt if we will even pass to final since usually such songs never achieved good result in Eurovision, check Croatia in 2021 for example...

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Feb 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. Only February events were considered for this update. Sorry for the late update, I was quite busy in my personal life. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.   Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Water Polo) World Cup events were held for artistic swimming and diving. is now projected to qualify in artistic swimming over .   Diving saw some changes with gains going to (4) (2) and losses going to (2) .   Water polo had the European Championships. No changes to Olympic projections.   Athletics (Marathon & Race Walking) The Tokyo Marathon and a gold level race walking tour event in Taicang were held. In the men’s marathon and are now in a qualifying position at the expense of and . On the women’s side; (2) have moved into a qualifying position while are out.   In the men’s 20km walk, gained two quotas at the expense of and . For the women’s 20km walk it is who are in position while are out.   Badminton The African and Oceania championships took place along with other minor tournaments. The only change relative to last month was in the men’s doubles where overtook for the final spot   Baseball/Softball The qualification document was released. While a slight change occurred, no changes to the teams qualified were made.   Basketball A set of men’s World Cup qualifiers were held this month. Angola’s loss to Mali is something to consider, but given how close it was I still consider Angola to still be the favourite to qualify. On the other hand, Argentina’s loss to Uruguay is enough to consider a change. After some shuffling around is now on the inside while is out.   Cycling (BMX Racing, Road & Track) Major events held this month include various continental championships.   In BMX Racing, gained a quota over in the men’s while is in a qualifying position over for the women.   In road cycling, on the men’s side; gained one quota over respectively. On the women’s side; gained one quota over   Track cycling see changes in the men’s individual sprint/keirin ( gain over ), men’s Madison ( gain over ), men’s omnium ( and gain over and ), women’s team sprint ( gain over ) and women’s individual sprint/keirin ( x2 over and ).   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Several World Cup events were held this month. In Dressage; :ARG :IRL :TUR :MDA :NZL gained an individual quota over :VEN :FIN :LTU :ITA :JPN respectively. While in Jumping the team quota saw gains for :MEX :ESP over :COL :POR inversely, Colombia and Portugal will gain an individual quota, replacing the vacated Mexico and Spain. Additionally there are gains for :POL over :GRE   Fencing (Foil) The Turin Grand Prix was held this month among other events. No changes in any of the foil events.   Field Hockey The Pro League continues. No changes in terms of Olympic projection.   Golf The Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational were the main events held on the men’s side. However, no changes in terms of Olympic projection.   Judo The Paris and Tashkent Grand Slam were major events held.   The following nations gained a men’s quota: :CYP :EGY :GBR :SUI :TJK :TUN The following nations lost a men’s quota: :COD :ITA :POL :QAT :TUR :ZAM The following nations gained a women’s quota: :BRA :CHA :COD :EGY :GER :POL :KSA The following nations lost a women’s quota: :GBR :NED :RUS :ESP :TJK :TUN :TUR   Lacrosse The qualification document was released. No changes to the teams qualified were made.   Rugby Sevens The World Series event in Perth, Australia and the second tier event in Nairobi, Kenya were held this month. No changes on the men’s side while on the women’s side there was some shuffling, but ultimately no one fell off. Argentina did make a case by winning the SVNS 2 tournament while Brazil finished 6th which included a 28-17 win for Argentina. While a good start, I don’t think it’s quite enough to make the swab just yet.   Shooting The Asian Rifle/Pistol Championships were held this month. No updates to the qualification projection.   Sport Climbing The Oceania Speed World Championships were held this month. No updates to the projection.   Squash The Windy City Open among other events were held this month. On the men’s side :GER is now in a qualification position over :QAT . No changes on the women’s side.   Surfing The qualification document was released. There is now less emphasis on the World Surf League and the priority for the continental qualifiers have changed. This has caused some changes to the projections. For the men; :CRC :ECU :MEX are now in qualification positions causing :ITA :JPN :JPN to drop off. On the women’s side; :INA :PUR :ESP are in and :CRC :FRA :FRA are out.   Table Tennis The qualification document was released along with the Singapore Smash. Relative to my estimations a few changes occurred. Quota changes include :AUT :CAN :SVK :SVK losing men’s quotas. They are replaced by :ALG :CZE :ITA :MDA. On the women’s side, :ARG :CUB :CZE :GUA :GUA :MEX :MEX :TUN are replaced by :ALG :COD :IRI :LUX :POL :RUS :SRB :SUI .
    • I saw that was the tie-breaker in group play, but it said only for games played against each other (Canada and PR didn't play Venezuela).   Looking at the 2023 WBC, they ranked "lost in quarterfinal" teams by record (but Australia and PR "tied" for 6th with the same record). Then it groups them by placings in their groups (all 3rd place teams together, ranked by final record, all 4th place teams together ranked by final record,etc.). That's what made me hopeful that Canada would place higher than the other two since they won their group. However, they have Venezuela in the same grouping as AUS, PR, and ITA (lost in quaterfinals) even though they won their division.    Anyway, just have to hope for a Canada win or a close defensive loss, I guess. And some help elsewhere. 
    • I believe it's that runs allowed over defensive outs calculation   So right now it's  >  >     We'll have to hope Italy's high offense shows up again while being defensive against the United States
    • Help me understand the tie-breaker if all of Canada, PR, and Venezuela lose their playoff games. They'd all be 3-2, but would Canada be ranked higher for winning their group? If not, what is the next tie breaker since Canada/PR did not play Venezuela?
