Goop point! Georgia are very unlikely to qualify as well! Maybe Cyprus (there is a big Russian connection there) or a new Central European friend, like Czech Republic or Hungary?

Poland? :whistle: I know miracles doesn't happen :d

Aaaand :NOR Norway became odds favorites. I haven't heard their song yet, but name "That's How You Write A Song" sounds super corny + cringy + cheesy. :p

 

Also it's Rybak...

Its song which would be better entry for Junior Eurovision...

@kungshamra71 Is it true that everyone is always smiling in Portugal, as showcased in these promo videos? :p

 

It is true they will always (or almost always :p ) smile for tourist yes haha

 

I recognize we must be one of the friendliest people in Europe for foreigners, even when we dont speak their language and they dont speak/dont want to speak english (like spanish or french tourists).

 

And i loved the promo videos, really showed many nice towns and places in Portugal! :d

Ok, so I loved everything in this first semi final (the Lisbon intro, the videos between each songs, the really nice "Planet Portugal" and the salvador sobral part), except for the songs :lol:

 

I mean I know it's eurovision so it is expected to be quite crappy, but I don't think I liked that much even a single one of them this year (maybe Estonia's, because of the nice voice).

 

Oh well, can't wait for all the intro videos on the second semi final! :lol:

I'm curious about the Dutch Waylon. He's been crying in media all the time because they weren't positive enough :facepalm:

Which led to him boycotting certain newspapers :facepalm:

 

One of those newspapers 'reviewed' all songs after the rehearsals and then wrote this about him (after the boycot):

Quote

 

A felt-through tribute to country music. A song that could not have come from deeper inside the singer's soul. You just feel the music flowing through the veins of the artist. Adding the dance style of krumping is a hartwearming innovation on the Eurovision podium.

 

- This message has been approved by the 2018 Media Handbook, by Waylon.

 

 

:p 

 

And all that lead to memes like this, with the famous North Korean news reader :d

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
