I can;t wait to see Soro against Serbia. Still my favorite GK and I think he is one of the best in the world.  Imo Brazil can fight for 2-3 place. But 4 is secured. Australia is not that good.

I do not know, our team has improved (the Brazilians too) but still suffers a lot with teams "theoretically" weaker. But that we'll see, but I twist a lot for us to beat Greece and / or Hungary.

Former Canadian water polo player David Hart has started an online petition to punish France for their incredibly unsportsmanlike behaviour at the OQT :d 

 

Of course it won't have any results, but it's good to see that everybody hates the French team..

 

The link (it's a Dutch site, but they put Hart's letter there in English):

By "everybody", you mean some canadians and netherlanders, and a croatian apparently ?

 

Anyway, I didn't want to do it, but here, there are a few points.

 

- France hasn't stolen anything or anyone. Games were won fair and square.

 

- Let's not pretend for a second that Canada tried its utmost to win that game. The first candaian scorer didn' display any kind of joy when he scored his first goal, quite the contrary actually. David Hart is full of shit here. Canada was not a synonym of "honesty" and "integrity", they were simplly worse at sucking it.

 

- Calling for sanctions against teams not showing "honesty" and "integrity" ? Fine, let's start by Canada then... Oh well, what about these soccer teams already qualified that field a second string for their last pool stage game ? What about Spain's basketball team in London (France did suffer from that one btw) ? What about ?... It's a can of worns. Everybody knows it.

 

- Let's have some perspective here. France is far from a water polo powerhouse . We are talking about a team that didn't qualifie for the olympics during 24 years. A team that almost failed constantly to even qualifie for an euro championship during 20 years. Are you really expected these guys to work their ass off during such a game when:
a) They are already qualified for the next round
b) They have to play the most important game of their life the next day
c) Winning, almost certainly means they will miss the oportunity of their life

Really, seriously ? 

 

- The Netherdlands should not even have been qualified to this tournament, having been previously eliminated... by France in the last euro. They were only there because some teams from other continents couldn't make it. Here goes your painted orange white horse.

 

So please, everybody takes their sour grapes home. That shit is getting tedious as fuck.

well, French team deserves criticism but sure, finally they won it fair. As to you - you by yourself are writing very stupid comments like with this "tradition" after sad Polish handball woman`s team loss with Russia. Don`t expect any sympathy here, it seems you`re maybe disliked not only by me. By your fault only

I love French sport, but when some team deserves criticism it deserves it, just it. STOP. I think most of us here like French sport as a whole. I dislike this de_gambassi guy for his comments, that`s it. STOP :)

I might have overreacted a tiny bit :p

I personaly think waterpolo is a great sport. And that's not because I'm from Serbia. But having said that with these kind of rules and I don't mean tiebreaker rules, it shouldn't be an olympic sports. 99% of people in my country which is a waterpolo superpower I can guarantee you doesn't know the rules, it's too dependent on referees, nobody who watches can understand the rules and I think sometimes the players can't either

    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)
    • Our biathlon entries were finalized today )    Team Ukraine    46 athletes - the same number as 4 years ago (21 women + 25 men)      ALPINE SKIING - 2 (1 + 1) =  (W) Anastasiya Shepilenko (2022) (M) Dmytro Shepiuk (Rookie) * * *   BIATHLON - 10 (5 + 5) =  (W) Yulia Dzhima (2014 - gold, 2018, 2022) (W) Khrystyna Dmytrenko (Rookie) (W) Oleksandra Merkushyna (Rookie) (W) Olena Horodna (Rookie) (W) Daryna Chalyk (Rookie)   (M) Dmytro Pidruchny (2014, 2018, 2022) (M) Anton Dudchenko (2022) (M) Vitaly Mandzyn (Rookie) (M) Bohdan Borkovsky (Rookie) (M) Taras Lesiuk (Rookie) * * *   BOBSLEIGH - 0 (0 +0) -1  ---   CROSS COUNTRY - 6 (4 + 2) -1    (W) Anastasia Nikon (Rookie) (W) Sofia Shkatula (Rookie) (W) Yelyzaveta Nopriyenko (Rookie) (W) Daryna Mihal (Rookie)   (M) Dmytro Drahun (Rookie) (M) Oleh Lisohor (Rookie) * * *   CURLING - 0 (0 +0) =  --- * * *   FIGURE SKATING - 1 (0 + 1) -5    (M) Kyrylo Marsak (Rookie)   * * *   FREESTYLE - 9 (5 + 4) + 4    (W) Kateryna Kotsar (Rookie) - Slopestyle / BigAir (W) Anhelina Brykina (Rookie) - Aerials (W) Oksana Yatsuk (Rookie) - Aerials (W) Diana Yablonska (Rookie) - Aerials (W) Nelli Popovych (Rookie) - Aerials (M) Dmytro Kotovsky (2022) - Aerials (M) Oleksandr Okipniuk (2022) - Aerials (M) Yan Havriuk (Rookie) - Aerials (M) Maksym Kuznetsov (Rookie) - Aerials * * *   ICE HOCKEY - 0 (0 +0) =  --- * * *   LUGE - 10 (4 + 6) + 4      (W) Olena Stetskiv (2014, 2018, 2022) (W) Yulianna Tunytska (2022) (W) Olena Smaha (Rookie) (W) Oleksandra Mokh (Rookie) (M) Andriy Mandziy (2014, 2018, 2022) (M) Anton Dukach (2018, 2022) (M) Ihor Hoy (Rookie) (M) Nazatiy Kachmar (Rookie) (M) Danyil Martsynvsky (Rookie) (M) Bohdan Babura (Rookie) * * *   NORDIC COMBINED - 2 (0 + 2) + 1    (M) Dmytro Mazurchuk (2022) (M) Oleksandr Shumbarets (Rookie) * * *   SHORT TRACK - 2 (1 + 1) =  (W) Yelyzaveta Sydiorko (Rookie) (M) Oleh Handey (2022) * * *     SKELETON - 1 (0 + 1) =    (M) Vladyslav Heraskevych (2018, 2022) - the flagbearer * * *   SKI JUMPING - 2 (0 + 2) -1  (M) Vitaliy Kalinichenko (2022) (M) Yevhen Marusiak (2022) * * *   SKI MOUNTAINEERING  - 0 (0 +0) # --- * * *   SNOWBOARDING - 1 (1 + 0) =    (W) Annamari Dancha (2010, 2014, 2018, 2022) - PGS * * *     SPEED SKATING - 0 (0 +0) =  --- * * *      
    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • 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.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
