Women's Water Polo Tournament at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[maestro 653]

Spain wins 13-11 against the US.

 

 

[Dennis 712]

 

 -  11-15

 

Felt like two matches in one: CHN outperformed NED in the first half, but in the second half they barely scored.

 

Score 1st half: 8-5

Score 2nd half: 3-10

Bit of a surprise, but not really. Spain beat US in one of their pre Olympic exhibitions.

China really played good waterpolo in the first half. But fortunately  played way better in the second half. But I understand now why  was struggling so much ...  really improved the last months. 

 

Spain winning against USA was not a real surprise for me. The real surprise was  beating  with 9:8.

It's like Italy beating France in women's handball. The Italian team, on the other hand, has been very strange in recent years. It can play great matches and also suffer incomprehensible defeats, like today. Spain, Holland, or the USA never fall below a certain level.

Yes, I was surprised given our level in water polo and hockey, where these sports are all minor in France

That makes us look even worse

I have no idea about how it's possible, but we won against Greece

[copravolley 271]

The Italian team is terribly unpredictable and inconsistent. In addition, Greece plays very poorly here. In the friendly match before the Olympics, we also won by a large margin against Greece. Now Greece must win against France by at least 5 goals to advance from the group?

 

 

As of now:

 

- Italy: +3,
- France: +1,
- Greece: -4.

 

 

Of course, assuming that Italy loses in the last match against Spain in regular time.
