looks like you're a big fan of Ecuador , actually they're always a cool team to watch they just play for scoring goals despite the team they're facing , btw Carlos Tenorio the one who scored 2 goals for them in QC 2006 had a real magnificent career in al Saad team in Qatar , i remember him very well from playing there

speaking about other games than final , i think that Belgium vs. Japan match in 2018 is very underrated much , for me that was definitely one of the best games ever i saw in the WC , Ghana vs. Uruguay in WC 2010 what a match and what a spirit between those 2 teams to reach a historical Semis and ofc that penalty missed in the 120th minute by the Penalties' specialist Asamoah Gyan made it such unforgettable match , i'd say also Brazil vs. Germany in 2014 OFC that was diffidently a match that'd be remembered for years , Brazil vs. England in 2002 WC QF IMO that was the best match of tournament and the true final of this WC and ofc Italy vs. Germany in 2006 WC Semis , maybe i can add to them Ghana vs. Czech Rebublic in 2006 WC Group Stage that was a hell of a big surprise , Ghana a team that's making their debut in the WC defeating one of the best teams in the world at this date and ofc Czech did a very entertaining Euro 2 years before and they deserved much better result than Semis , these're matches that i can really remember out of the 5 WCs i saw live

I’ve only ever watched two, so I’m going to with 2014 and 2018 :p

 

I watched some of South Africa 2010, but that was a few years before I really got into international sports. 2012/2013/2014 is when I really started getting invested in this stuff, so I can remember watching the entire 2014 tournament. I also watched most of the games from this years 2019 Women’s World Cup for the first time too.

 

My favorite game ever would be Brazil getting their ass kicked by Germany in 2014 :d

i chose Italy vs. France out of the 5 finals i saw because always having penalties in the final match of WC is something really interesting and it wasn't anyhow boring match at least better than this 2010 final which i can only remember this Iniesta's Goal and those 2 big chances missed by Robben :raspberry: , maybe 2014 was the best , but i thought that i already have a lot of matches that Germany involved in , so it'd be better to mention others as well :d for 2018 i really really liked this tournament it was the best for me out of those 5 i watched live , but unfortunately France ended things really early that match in the 1st 15 minutes of 2nd half 

2018 was pretty boring for me (not only because Germany got eliminated early), in my opinion 2006 was clearly better. It just doesn't feel right when none out of Germany/Spain/Argentina/Italy/Brazil makes the semifinal.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • 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 , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
