Where is German guy to celebrate this historical achievment cause Hungarian fans now can save that 5 € for tickets for semifinal. You know for that money you can buy 100 kilos of cheese in Hungary I'm joking. Women tournament is really weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted July 24, 2017 #134 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yeah the women's tournament has potentially 10 teams which could fight for a medal in any given tournament, it's one of the reasons why I wanted 12 (or at least 10) teams at the Olympics. Congrats to Canada, we're finally on the right side of an important narrow match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,182 Posted July 25, 2017 #138 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Basketball and football for example have more competitive teams than available quotas, so I don't see a problem with one quality women's water polo team missing the tournament. Otherwise, what's the point of Olympic qualificatoin. Edited July 25, 2017 by dcro Pavlo 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlo 65 Posted July 25, 2017 #139 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Water polo world is very stiff - 9 good women`s team, deacent China - c`mon. Then we have Japan, Brazil, NZ, France and Serbia, maybe Cuba potentially, the same with KAZ. GER, POR, TUR, CRO, SVK, UZB, SAF, MEX, PRT etc are really weak. You can`t compare it to any other sport. In men`s game it`s just a bit better, some 20 competitive teams for 11 quota? Not bad Edited July 25, 2017 by Pavlo I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 25, 2017 #140 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The problem is not the total number of quotas, but the distribution of continental ones...Australia will get easy quotas as always and South Africa is probably already qualified without playing a match (let's hope they refuse the quotas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
