From heroes to zeros :(  or 9 seconds from the paradise to the hell....thats the titles from yesterdays big derby..

 

relive the highlights and the equalizing goal 9 seconds to go from the different emotions in Slovak and Czech TV

 

 

 

I watched the game on the Czech TV...Robert Zaruba is a legend...he looks like a South American football broadcasters with his yells and cries...:yikes::lol:

after Necas tied the game with just 9 seconds to go, I thought he could have an heart attack...:rofl:

p.s. and when the same Necas crushed himself into the boards I thought he could have seriously compromised his health...luckily he only got there with his arm and not with his head...

p.p.s. I'm sorry pal...it was a great game for your Slovakia, but a silly half mistake by Ciljak (who was almost pefect till there) let the Czechs save their a**es...even if it was against my prediction, at one point I started to hope that you could take the victory home, it would have been deserved because of the good organization and pride shown by your team...

I hope that tonight you can have a better outcome against the Swiss...;)

Yes, Záruba is definitely a commentator legend :dI do not know if you remember, but once he was so much yelling until he broke the technique :p

 

 

 

Well, what can I say, a huge shame and pity. Being 9 seconds from a incredible win which could boost enormously this youth inexperienced group to literally waste it by so stupid manner is really hard to swallow..but well, in other hand, CZE was the favorite and we did not expected points from this match, we are and have to be focused on other opponents than the Czechs, so also this one unexpected single point can be valuable in the final counting.

 

Thanks buddy, but I´m afraid of tonight match. Not gonna be easy tonight, the guys lost a lot of forces in yesterdays game + mentally such loss must be very difficult, and only 24 hours later we have another important maybe the most crucial and key match for us in this tourney, let´s hope the coaching staff will be able to strongly motivate the kids

By the way, that hit from Martin Necas against the boarding that seemed to knock him out cold for a second...that was hard and scary :yikes:

 

It was good to see him get up and skate to the bench by himself..

Great act from Čiliak btw, stopping the game even if we have the puck. Fair-Play award of the year for me already :yes

Yep, I noticed that too! I always 'love' seeing athletes care for their injured opponents (same thing in the A-League Grand Final yesterday, where Melbourne Victory's goalkeeper was hit in the face hard by a Newcastle player and two other Newcastle players were the first ones to provide some basic help to their opponent's goalkeeper). 

 

Ciliak and Necas are teammates in Brno by the way, aren't they? I can imagine Ciliak got truly scared seeing/hearing his young teammate take a huge hit like that.

yep they are, but he is also the guy who beat him 9 seconds to go...so I guess he wasn´t his biggest beloved person yesterday too :p but anyway, sure this looked really bad and I can imagine he was immediately extremely scared

Austria is not having a great day neither. 

 

A bit intimidating, if you consider how Russia is playing and focusing on this match at only some half gas so far :d

 

at least Canada is showing some interest :p

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
