Oh, didn't notice that. 

 

I predict there will be at least two different winners this time.

I won't say! :p but here are my points of view individually:

 

-Germany is a bit stronger than in Tokyo.

-Argentina is a bit stronger too.

-GB is stronger.

-India is weaker.

-Belgium is weaker.

-Spain is stronger.

-Netherlands is pretty much the same level.

-Australia is weaker.

 

Overall this is a much more open tournament compared to Tokyo when Belgium v Australia was the obvious final beforehand. I can see any of these teams taking medals.

Coming into the Olympics, I definitely thought India was weaker than in Tokyo. However the hockey we've produced has been of a very high quality so far. Our passing, use of aerials and defensive structure seems much better overall, even though a bit of the attacking flair/effectiveness has gone down. 

Anyhow, here are my predictions for the knockouts: 

Germany vs Argentina: Germany win

Great Britain vs India: India win

Netherlands vs Australia: Netherlands win

Spain vs Belgium: Belgium win 

 

Germany vs India: India win 

Netherlands vs Belgium: Belgium win

 

Germany vs Netherlands: Netherlands win

Belgium vs India: Belgium win

 

🥇 Belgium 

🥈 India

🥉 Netherlands

QF

Germany vs Argentina: Germany win

Great Britain vs India: GB Win (on PShuffles - going very specific on this!)

Netherlands vs Australia: Netherlands Win

Spain vs Belgium: Belgium Win 

 

Semi 

Germany vs Great Britain: Germany win

Netherlands vs Belgium: Belgium win

 

Bronze

After many disappointing tournaments, it's nice to see the GB men on much better form, Bronze would be lovely and my prediction is loaded with hope and optimism. Can't wait for tomorrow!!!

I’m dangerously close to being right in my prediction…

    • So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.   At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.   Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
    • Maciusiak is a budget option for the 'lean years' that are set to kick in. This was planned for many years once Stoch, Kubacki & Żyła retire (or become too old to have good results). We don't have any juniors and the development has been screwed for many seasons now. Results should get even worse especially if Wąsek suddenly drops off w/o Thurnbichler (as he was the only one who clearly profited under TT's coaching).
