Any reason why they're performing so poorly?

 

I think it's lack of spirit more than anything. They start matches well, miss easy goals then get depressed with lack of effectiveness and as soon as they concede one goal they start missing passes, getting cards, shoot PCs straight to the opponent runner body, etc

 

Also some very strange things happen to them, last two matches they lost the video challenge in the first Q which is incredibly unfortunate and crippling for close matches.

I had a bad feeling when these dumb girls decided to attend the opening ceremony instead of resting...   Always happens the same, they lose to USA, they finish 2nd in group and then they end

Thanks for the explanation.

 

I would like them to recover in their next two games and try to gain another medal.

Despite our players were super nervous due to the (unfair) risk of elimination, they survive another day :yes Now starts a new tournament :ESP in QF, they can perfectly win if they play like they normally do.

Finishing 2nd in the pool, but we still have to play against the big favorite for gold in the QF. :wall:

I think Australia has also been favorite for gold at the past two olympics and they never won, they are absolutely beatable for your team. At least your team didnt throw away a medal by underestimating their opponent, like the german women did against Spain.

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

I'm the only one who thought Netherlands winning this match easily wasn't a surprise? Well, I guess I don't follow Field Hockey closely. :p

Makes Ireland's 5-0 defeat to the Netherlands look not so bad now :d

In fact, we played well in all matches at these Olympics, probably the match against India was our worst performance and we still ran them close at 3-2. Hopefully we continue getting better in the years to come. I'm not particularly optimistic though as hockey isn't very popular here and despite the breakthrough, it will be quickly forgotten by the general public :(

      Summer Olympic Games 2036 Bid Process

      impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)

      Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.

      How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

      FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
