Okay since you kind of called Japan.  Let me ask you about the 2 games that matter tomorrow.

 

 

Ukraine must win to advance.  Any trouble winning over Estonia ?

 

Your take on Romania vs Great Britain ?

Frankly, I don´t think there should be any surprises in these matches.

 

The day off yesterday certainly helped the Ukrainians. They know what is at stake today. And their nature is always the same, They will go for it at full gas, I don´t believe a second that they would be able to underestimate Estonia today. Maybe some small nervousness can tie hands at the beginning of the match, but the significant difference in quality should prevail by the end. No, it´s hard to expect any other result than a Ukrainian victory.

 

The Brits are the favorite too. And I think they will make it too. The Romanians need a hell of big day of their goalie and perhaps tactical substitutions, sending their checking line against the GBR first line regularly with anti-hockey system in an attempt to make them hate the game and eliminate their power. I do not see any other way to reverse the British triumph :p

Estonia had the edge on Ukraine in 2018 and 2019, but since then Ukraine has been better.  How fun would it be to have OT in that game?

 

Romania has no real chance against GB; in recent history against this level of opponent (Division 1A or better) they have one win (against Lithuania) and not many games that were even close.

    • Mia Blichfeldt is leaving Badminton Denmark's elite training program as she moves to France to live with her French boyfriend.   Denmark's representative in women's singles at the last two Olympics, Mia Blichfeldt, is leaving the national team training in Brøndby effective immediately.
    • Eden Park has always been (also) a cricket ground. They kept cricket in mind when they refurbished it for the 2011 RWC. It's hardly comparable with regular rectangle stadiums around the world.   And there are not many cities who would have a somewhat decent athletic stadium on top of their olympic stadium.   There are no way around it. Having cricket in the olympic program would be a major issue for many of the possible future hosts.
    • I'd say the very best, as soon as it's there, is to have the official qualifying document (generally in PDF format) in the first post, so you don't need to go to another place just for that.
    • In 2010 Asian Games, Olympic council of Asia included Dance Sports like Five Dances, Quickstep, Slow foxtrot, Tango, Waltz, Jive, Paso Doble, Samba, etc.
    • It was not, no     Although I do agree with everyone who says it's bullshit to add a sport for one Olympic cycle, whether that's karate, breaking or, I don't know, cycle ball. Give a sport a fair chance with 2-3 Olympic cycles, or don't add it at all, and bring back the option of an actual demonstration sport to try something out for a one-off thing.
    • I agree that some new sports deserve a chance. I really like skateboard, bmx, Mountainbike.  I didn’t like breakdancing, surfing.    difficult to say what the criteria are for selecting sports. Yes in some cases it’s political or economical. but doesn’t mean it’s wrong.    on the other hand some sports survive only for that reason. Take waterpolo, if it wasn’t for the power of WA it doesn’t really deserve a spot. I am Croatian  and very glad its there as it gave us few medals. But its popular and seriously played in only few European countries plus maybe US and Australia. Outside those few countries no one gives a f***.  so if popularity is only criteria @ChandlerMnethen waterpolo is for sure out.   
    • naaa...in AUS they have sharks all around, also in the swimming pools, so they have to swim fast if they don't want to get caught 
    • yes, you can!   provided it's a football stadium with the athletics track (it would only require minor adjustment, like a carpet to cover the track and make it a playable surface)    I remember that they also played a world cup semifinal at the Eden Park in Auckland, which is a rugby stadium with some space around the rugby lines 
    • Of course I forgot the Australian swimmers 😂. Or is it because of Australian water that they are so good😉
