Meanwhile our local team secured their first medal in 23 years and even got into 2nd place with 2 rounds left.

People quickly forgot about the corona celebrating the medal together in the streets and 3 buss loads (and most likely plenty of cars as well) leaving for the airport to welcome the team after beating FC Copenhagen.

 

 

 

Aussie star player Mustafa Amini has even been taken out of the squad for a few days to get tested as he celebrated with the fans (you see him croud surfing in the first video). He has been injured and uncertain for the last matches, but he will be missing.

Polish media report Christian Gytkjaer has flown to Italy where he's set to join AC Monza - newly promoted to Serie B. @Agger

Do you think this is a good move for your striker? Because when I read people's opinion on Twitter, opinions are divided. Some believe that he is making a mistake, others that it is the best decision of the teams that was interested in him.

I'm not a fan of Lech Poznan by any means. Well, this looks like follow the money deal. At age 30 Gytkjaer is kinda too old to make a big splash on the market, they said Monza is owned by Silvio Berlusconi so that probably explains things a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Belgium or Holland but Serie B it is.

Is a top-3 finish (but not 1st) in Denmark actually celebrated and counted as 'a medal'? :yikes:

 

I've never heard of a medal-like concept in a national football competition :d

Sure it is. Here also there are medals for the champions and second/third places teams in the league. They gave even a small cup to our third place team Slavia this year, as far as i saw. :d

I had no idea that was a thing in some places. I can only remember clubs fighting for 3rd instead of 4th because it gives some qualifying advantage for Europe or something, but not because of a medal :d

It is a medal here.

Some fans of bigger teams (results-wise) think it's laughable how much we celebrate it, but we don't really care.

I'm also not a mega fan of Lech. I think the Dane chose the most sensible in the end in Serie B he has a better chance of playing than in the clubs in Turkey and others who were interested in his services.

Someone like Dawid Kownacki who was several years younger moved to Sampdoria before and It's debatable whether he's truly a better striker considering how he flamed out there. Gytkjaer's age affects his market more than anything else IMO.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
