Josh 7,028 Posted February 10 #44 Share Posted February 10 come through 14-12 to advance to the quarterfinals. Not exactly their best match, but slightly excusable as Canada was using their backup goalkeeper Vulpisi, who IMO isn’t half as good as Gaudreault. I’m assuming they didn’t perceive New Zealand to be much of a threat, hence them deciding to give Gaudreault a rest. Benolympique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,311 Posted February 10 #45 Share Posted February 10 At this rate we'd have to sneak our way into the Olympics. As in, hope one of Italy or Hungary (or even both) lose their quarterfinal match and then beat Australia while hoping they lose their 5th-8th semifinal match. Is it a dirty way of qualifying? Yes, but hopefully this teaches World Aquatics not to have qualified teams in a final qualifier tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benolympique 1,912 Posted February 10 #46 Share Posted February 10 I already don't understand why water polo only has 10 women's teams, while all the other team sports have 12. Josh and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However from what I see, Gaudreault started the match and was excluded with substitution in the middle of the third quarter. A red card also means that she can't play in the quarterfinal. I'm not sure if this one match ban could be appealed or not. Edited February 10 by maestro Triplecast and Josh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, the sport allready has ten teams more than it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea same with women's hockey. Both suffered from low development when they were originally added to the sports program. Couple with quota pressures, this is the end result. However you could easily argue water polo deserved 12 spots now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
