Spain is crushing the Netherlands and will likely make it to the final. That can have consequences for the OQT as well. If Spain wins the final as well, it's not unlikely that two out of UK, Germany and India will be in pot 2.

Looking at the ranking, I think (but I haven't done all the calculations) that Wales-Ireland will also be important for the Olympic qualification. If Wales manage to not finish 8th*, Egypt could lose its top 20 spot.

 

Edit *counting 2017 and 2019, for which they probably need to finish 6th here?, so not very likely.

If I calculated correctly, even with a 6th place they won't become higher than "EUR 8". With that, they would receive an extra 100 ranking points, which isn't enough to reach Egypt.

I think if Wales are 6th, Scotland 7th and Ireland 8th, then Wales could be as high as EUR 6. But it's extremely unlikely anyway.

Yes, you're right...

 

Wales: 675

Ireland: 650

Scotland: 638 

 

Those would be the internal european points in that case.

Btw about South Africa...  news tell that is likely only their men's team will be allowed to go.

And... they did it  4-0 over Ireland.

 

Anyway, as I said, I think south africa men is going to the games.
