Todays match of our national championship  Slovan Bratislava - Michalovce  3-1 was attended by 295 spectators :rofl: and it is still not the record, the anti-record holder is still in the 1999/2000 season the match Banská Bystrica - Humenné with 205 spectators 

 

the video of the amazing atmosphere in the match between the most famous and legendary Slovak club Slovan and Michalovce can be find here http://www.fortunaliga.sk/zapas/1006-slo-mic :lol:

Well this women's team, FK Gintra-Universitetas of Lithuania, is fun :d

I happened to see them while checking out today's CL matches and holy moly, talk about dominance. The last time they lost a league match was in 2011, the last time they didn't win was a single draw in 2013. Last season and this season they score an average of 11 goals per match, including some results like 21-0 and 25-0 and quite a lot of 10+ matches (plus a rather mediocre three goals against per season) :lol:

 

@Werloc Lithuania might have the most dominant team in a European 1st tier (men/women) football league :p

Most dominant until it comes to international competition. Although, these girls had a few decent runs before, but I don't recall them ever making it to a huge tournament.

As for scores like 21-0 and 25-0, I think that only one out of a hundred Lithuanians would actually be able to name a second women's football team without resorting to google and I'm in that crowd of 99/100 as well.

I'm not (well not anymore, I now know 'Banga' because I find the name funny) :p 

 

1-1 against Zürich doesn't seem too bad though today. Do people at least know Gintra themselves by name, or is that an unknown as well? Here in the Netherlands the only women's teams people know by name are probably Ajax, PSV, FC Twente and sc Heerenveen but that's just because they are top tier teams in the men's league :p

Well, yeah, now I know the whopping amount of 5 teams as well when I followed your link.

Banga means "wave" translated from Lithuanian, which is why it's a very popular name for sports teams coming from Klaipėda/Palanga that has the Baltic Sea around them.

I cannot really comment if people know Gintra, I doubt that a random person or a person that does not really follow the sports scene would have a clue. The only reason why I know Gintra is because I sometimes scroll past the articles whilst trying to get to Athletics/Rowing/Swimming and other interesting news :d

Equatorial Guinea expelled from FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019

 

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the Equatorial Guinea Football Association with expulsion from the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019 (in the event of their qualification) and a fine of CHF 100,000 for fielding ineligible players during the preliminary competition of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Rio 2016 and for the use of forged and falsified documents by two of its players.

 

The decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee comes as the result of further investigations conducted after the initial sanctions  (expelled from preliminary competition of Women's Olympic Football Tournament 2020) imposed in April 2016 against Equatorial Guinea. In particular, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee considered that ten (10) players, who all participated in the preliminary competition of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Rio 2016, were not eligible to play for the representative team of Equatorial Guinea.

 

As well as missing the 2019 Women's World Cup and the following year's Olympics, Equatorial Guinea are also banned from the next two Women's Africa Cup of Nations in 2018 and 2020. (and was disqualified in 2016 by the CAF Organising Committee for Women’s Football)

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
