We are already losing 0-4 against USA in roller hockey :( looks like we will finished last in every team sport outside speedway...

 

No offence, but considering the very few numbers of qualified nations in collective sports (low to 4 in AF), host nations should probably not be granted an automatic sport in these games.

I agree ;) maybe not so much in invitational sports but in the official sports hosts should at least meet certain objectives, achieve certain results or simply participate in a special tournament to determine if they should play in such a big event. Unfortunetly most of our teams simply are too weak to compete here and only drag the level down :(

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

despite being 5 out of 5 in the finals, Iranians managed to win only 1 gold medal ! :facepalm: Poursheib (who had the least chance for gold) finally beat his archrival Araga ! the others mostly lost their lead near the end of the match and of course as usual there were some dubious calls. specially when you are up against Japan

 

so far 2 gold and 4 silver from 6 athletes, few more left in Muaythai, Jujitsu, Snooker and Archery.

Good results for Brazil so far considering these sports don't get a lot of money from the federations (which, I think, is the situation with many nations).

 

For instance, both Beach Handball teams only travelled to Poland thanks to a crowdfunding and even some of the expenses had to be paid by the athletes, which is a shame considering we are the current champions of this event. Hope their investment is worth it.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
