I am very sorry for the Netherlands, they deserved to be in Rio. Its very interesting that home teams in olympic team sports always seem to underperform this year ...

Netherlands didnt qualify in womens football or womens water polo

Germany didnt qualify in mens volleyball

Turkey didnt qualify in womens volleyball

Poland didnt qualify in mens handball

...

At least Poland in mens handball, Turkey in womens volleyball and Netherlands in womens water polo should have qualified.

Canada played really good, i never thought that they would come that close to qualify!

 

I dont think that we can qualify in mens water polo. For some reason we always loose against Romania and Russia also should be too strong.

The ONLY positive thing is :ITA Women's :clap: are at OG. Today played a very bad game, won  maybe for the experience of our team.

About referees influences............. maybe in waterpolo Italy have "more power" (compared to other sports....) but if say that we go at OG for "help" is a joke :wacko:

 

The really shame are these "qualifications tournament" (not only in Waterpolo) with improbable format or weak teams .......

How is possible a match decisive for OG finished 19-0? :thumbup:

 

I'm sorry for :GRE and :NED  that are out but not all European teams can qualify.

Really? Very interesting! I dont think that its a good sign for womens water polo ...

It would be interesting to know if its the same in other team sports.

Men's wp will probably be the same with the exception of Japan (x KAZ). In all other team sports events we are already assured of at least one different team (excluding the host quota).

You are very quick, great work! :yes

I think i will also look up the situation in fencing concerning team events and maybe also relays in swimming/athletics or teams in track cycling (sprint, team pursuit).

The biggest differences will be in (naturally, due to being a youth tournament) Men's Football. Only 5 teams will be making a return (BRA, HON, MEX, JPN, KOR).

    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
