I'm currently watching Italy...but I'm really tempted to switch on the GER vs RUS matchup...

Berrè must have read my post...and he's trying everything to make Georgia come back and keep the bout interesting until the end...

moreover...since there won't be any African team in the top 16, 

 

Egypt will be in top 16.

7 in a row now for Georgia...

no, I'm pretty sure by the end of the race they won't...

[phelps 7,687]

lucky hit (after a good gift by the ref)...

You're wrong then...top 16 here and at 4 out of 5 world cups + African gold...they will be in quite easily.

still, he can't finish his stint...-9 for GEO right now...

 

oh...it's over...but it's unbelievable how it takes a second in sabre to lose focus and take tons of consecutive hits, also against someone not even close to your level...

This guy Wagner saved Germany today. Hartung was disaster.

it will be close, maybe...

for sure, they will be surpassed by a lot of teams after the world champs...

it will all go down to european particiaption in the next world cup events...

however, if they can do it, I'm more than happy...1 competitive team less in the Olympic tournament (and the big chance for Italy to have an easier quarterfinal, if they can climb up to the second place in the ranking)...
