Funfact, you can unscramble both country codes to make the word "Airbus".

damn...you just missed out on Italia90...:yikes:

then you would change all of your personal rankings (especially the negative ones...e.g. the world cup with the most empty stadiums, the world cup with the ugliest stadiums, the world cup with the most boring games, the world cup with the most corrupted refs...oh, no...wait...that was in 2002..."Moreno & friends" forever :rofl::facepalm:)...:whistle:

Yes,i missed that one. ;)

2002 wasnt that bad,at least we saw some good matches. :) I vividly recall Germany - Arabia. ;) Ok,referees were terrible,Korea and Turkey played extemelly ugly football and still were in 1/2. 

But this WC,every team just want to break the game. Its very similar how Greece won 2004 EC. Playing total defence. Every football fan despises that phylosophy.

Now we have 25 teams that are playing like Greece. 

8 matches finished 1-0. Many goals were scored after stoppage.

We might miss Spain,Germany,Argentina,even Brazil after group stage. Cmon...

Tragic low level of WC.

Can someone give an Oscar to the Iranian goalie? :lol: (yeah I'm a little behind, I meant that moment where he pretended like Diego Costa just committed a terrorist attack on his legs)

maybe but it is till very effective. Iran now 135 minutes without conceding a single goal at the WC, that´s something pretty noticeable

Or insanely effective gameplay from Iran :evil:

It is a bad WC because the top nations doing bad? I think it's good for the sport if other teams get the chance sometimes. It's boring if the same teams wins all the time I think.

      Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.

      Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.

      Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.

      I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
