@thepharoah why are you disappointed with ties against Spain and South Korea? Aren’t those good results from an Egyptian perspective?

We didn't tie with Spain , we haven't played them yet , a tie with Korea and loss to Austria , I was disappointed with the tie with Korea because we were leading until last 2 minutes that's it and ofc a loss to Austria reminded me that this team always ruin it whenever they are close to some achievement. 

 

We got robbed in African Olympic Qualifucations against SA where 2 goals were cancelled by video review , but still this team always choke in the last stages of a big competition for them

I think the popularity ranking of olympic team sports is as follows:

Football

Basketball

Ice hockey

Rugby/Handball/Volleyball

Water polo/Field hockey

 

Would be interesting to compare where swimming/athletics/tennis/golf/road cycling/biathlon/alpine skiing/snowboard rank in comparison.

 

 

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

I view the summer team sports as:

 

Football > Basketball > Volleyball > Handball > Rugby Sevens > Field Hockey > Water Polo

 

 

Rugby Sevens and Field Hockey are close IMO. Rugby Sevens does better with men while Field Hockey does better with women. Rugby Sevens also has a better global distribution IMO.

 

Ice Hockey (and winter sports in general) is difficult to compare. If we hold Ice Hockey to Summer Olympics standards it would rank just above Water Polo at best because so few nations participate, but fewer nations take part in winter sports so is it a fair comparison?

Depends where you are. In 2012 hockey was second only to football in terms of crowd attendances among the team sports.

You'd be surprised at the popularity of hockey. Primarily because of the NHL. If there wasn't a league as such, it would probably be at the bottom with water polo

You must excuse me, gentlemen; not being English, I sometimes find your sense of humor rather difficult to follow !

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
