Italy beat first seeded team and you said not great match. What you expected? 45:0? Edited July 21, 2019 by dareza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dareza 911 Posted July 21, 2019 #252 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I think that this was perfect match for Italy. Great tactics, with very smart fencing. Isola an Fiamingo just great today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to see a better fencing It's not a point question, but it's about technical mistakes (like the Ross mistake on the 20th American point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you expected? 45:0? a easier win was definitely possible... the USA are highly overestimated in this discipline...all of those girls are absolutely nothing special... CHN, KOR, RUS, ROU, FRA...all of those teams are surely better than them, even if the results have gone differently in the last couple of years... by the way, this is a key win for Italy...if we can make the podium, our chances to qualify for the Olympics definitely improve a lot... even if Ukraine's win over Poland is not a good result for us...

Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 21, 2019 #255 Share Posted July 21, 2019 USA are first seed but not the strongest team...anyway, unlike 2015-16, the team is Fiamingo's only chance to qualify for the Olympics so she has to perform well for her own sake.

dareza 911 Posted July 21, 2019 #258 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Do all people in Italy always have objections and everything is always negative? Nobody: Italian guys on site: THIS IS DISASTER REALLLY! Yes we won, but hey it is still not good. Calm down people, just without tension, your team won, you have chance for medal and it is only important. Edited July 21, 2019 by dareza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't realize how successful Italian fencing is Getting "a medal" is simply not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
