Men's Water Polo Tournament at the Aquatics WA World Championships 2023 Road to Paris 2024

I am worried about today's match against the US. I think there's a significant chance of an upset, the US is due to reaching the Top4 at SOG/WCh again at some point and they have beaten us this year at the World Cup. It won't be an easy match.

Just when you think that Serbia is on a downward trajectory, they eliminate Italy in the QFs. No medal this time for Italy, after two WCh finals in 2019 and 2022.

I wrote Serbia off. And this happened. Who would say...

Very bizarre situation at our match. 4 minutes exclusion for the US, which is something I have never seen on a match this important. And then the refs exclude our goalkeeper and then another Hungarian player, so we had a 4v5 situation without a goalkeeper, which might be the single weirdest moment of a water polo match I have ever seen.

That was painful to watch, the boys almost beat themselves. They will have to play much, MUCH better against Spain in the SF.

6-4 France with three minutes left. What an upset this would be.
