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


Recommended Posts

We are simply not strong in any team sport. In football we are beaten by Spain, in volleyball by France and Poland, in water polo by Serbia and Hungary. It is always the same. 4 years ago we lost to Serbia, now to Hungary, in 4 years probably to Spain or Croatia. We are weak. We don`t have our own disciplines. We don`t have a winning mentality - we lose all penalty shootouts at important events. I would rather have 1-2 team sports in which you are really strong and in which you win, than to get beaten everywhere by other countries.

Don't think so. Your team is shit if compared to the past. They weren't even able to win despite 2 free goals (-1 to ita, +1 to hun) and 4 free minutes with 1 more man. hopefully you will enjoy the 4th place

The Hungarians invest a lot of money in water sports and have a favorable view of World Aquatics. On the other hand, Barelli is at odds with the federation and we have an uphill battle all the time. These are the facts. For Italy to beat Hungary in an important match we have to be 3-4 goals better. And the second thing is that Italy has lost 4 penalties in a row in the decisive stages of tournaments.

Unfortunately, we are worthless as a country. Different federations and arrangements do whatever they want with us. And we pretend that everything is fine. Then Meloni comes to the Olympic Village and takes a selfie with Malago and then talks to Bach. Can you imagine a worse humiliation? They cheat us in boxing, judo, water polo. What next?

    • Zurich fend off Färjestad to claim European Club Champions title     Zurich defeat Färjestad to become CHL Champions Färjestad's inability to convert on special teams was costly Sven Andrighetto scored both goals for the Swiss     Sven Andrighetto scored twice, including the game-winner at 32:33, and Šimon Hrubec made 31 of 32 saves as ZSC Lions Zurich kept the European Trophy in Switzerland with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over Färjestad Karlstad.   The Swedes scored late to bring the game to within one, but a dominant defensive effort from the Swiss side helped secure their well-deserved win in the 2024/25 Champions Hockey League Final.   Both netminders were excellent through the first 20 minutes, but an opportune moment near the end of the frame enabled the Swiss to break the deadlock when Andrighetto slid a loose puck between the pads of Maxime Lagacé to open the scoring at 17:48.    Dario Trutmann threw the initial shot on net as the puck ricocheted off several players before finding its way to the top of the blue paint where Andrighetto deposited the loose change to secure his ninth of the year.   Then in the second, it was Andrighetto again as the 31-year-old extended his club's lead with seven and a half to go in the middle frame.   Play developed as Denis Malgin skated the puck through neutral ice before dropping it off for Rudolfs Balcers who quickly dished it to Andrighetto in the near circle where he one-timed it past the Färjestad netminder to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts.   The Swiss continued to put on a defensive clinic in the second, mitigating the Swedes' offensive pressure and minimising their high-danger chances.   Hrubec managed to turn aside all 20 Färjestad shots through the first two periods to keep his club's advantage heading into the third.   Still trailing by two, the Swedes were awarded their fourth powerplay of the night when Zurich's Malgin was called for Boarding at 50:59 and would make good on the ensuing man-advantage thanks to Per Åslund's second of the season and first since his goal on Game Day 1.   Off the face-off win, the puck found its way to David Tomášek who slid it towards the stick of Åslund who was parked at the top of the crease where he redirected it past Hrubec with less than ten minutes to play in regulation.   Desperate to find the equaliser, Färjestad pulled their netminder in the closing moments but Zurich's defence, spearheaded by Hrubec, pulled through as the Swiss fought off the Swedes' last-ditch effort to claim victory and be crowned European Club Champions.
