Poor Panama :(

The fact we are going to see more of these teams when the World Cup expands in 2026 to 48 teams is really not looking very appealing.

Well, there will always be people complaining about not enough goals or too many goals. :d

 

There are probably 64 teams better than Panama right now, we need to see who will qualify for 2026 first. The only complaint I have is Asia getting too many spots, unless the goal is getting China to qualify as a new market. :d

Poor Panama...

I'll write it again: we need a new system. My suggestion is:

Europe: 14 quotas
North America: 2 quotas
South America: 4 quotas
Africa: 4 quotas
Asia: 4 quotas
Oceania: 1 quota
Host nation: 1 quota

World Cup qualifying tournament (a kind of test event): 2 quotas (2 teams from Europe, 2 from South America, 1 from North America, 1 from Asia, 1 from Africa, 1 from Oceania)

It is a mystery how even came to that. Poor qualifications for USA.

Belgium and England have the top goalscorers so far.

 

I kinda reminds me of the 2013 Confederations Cup when Fernando Torres was the top goalscorer thanks to his 4 goals in the Spain 10-0 win against Tahiti.

48 teams will be a huge mess, so many walking bye teams. But at least New Zealand and Serbia would have almost secured spots so... :lol:

In theory this could work but it doesn't matter. In 2026 we will have 48 teams and most definitely see more results like this one today.

Indeed. Losing to an already eliminated Trinidad at the last match was beyond any defense.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
