my "serious" picks...

England to win the title

FRA, GER, ESP and (shouldn't GBR take part into the Olympic tournament) BEL to qualify to the Tokyo Games...

 

my hopes (well beyond any chance to become true)...

Italy winning it all...

AUT, BEL and SRB to fill the remaining Olympic spots...

 

the teams I'd really like NOT to see in Tokyo...

FRA, GER, ESP and GBR (if they are entitled to participate, which frankly at the moment I don't remember if it's possible or not)...

No, ENG/GBR can't qualify.

 

And we also know the seeded teams for the draw:

Poisition 1 in Group A: Italy (hosts)
Pot 1: Germany, England

Pot 2: Spain, Denmark, France
Pot 3: Serbia, Croatia, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Romania

i think GBR will accept only for women if they qualify

I'm sure we will see :ITA vs :FRA in the pool. So I really hope :ENG may win its pool, so we can have a second chance to qualify to Tokyo. However, if I could choose, I would prefer the women's team to qualify rather than the male team. In that case, I would just be sad for Kean, he really deserves more than sitting on the bench at Juventus.  This guy is the only chance Italy has to qualify for Tokyo.

How is this working? I see there are 3 groups with 4 teams, but only 3 pots?

From Uefa.com

 

How does the draw work?

  • The draw starts with the teams in Pot 1.
  • The first team drawn takes position B1 and the second team drawn position C1.
  • The draw continues with the teams in Pot 3.
  • The first team drawn is assigned to Group A. In order to determine the position of the drawn team within Group A, a ball is drawn from Pot A. A second ball is drawn from Pot 3 and assigned to Group B. Once again, to determine the position of the team within Group B, a ball is drawn from Pot B. The same procedure is repeated for Group C consecutively until all balls from Pot 3 have been drawn and the teams positioned in each group.
  • The draw will be completed with the teams in Pot 2 using the same procedure as for Pot 3.

So, we can actually be drawn with any team (just like any other team that is in pot 3)? Why they just didn't make 4 pots? :dunno:

Yes, you are right.

To answer your question. UEFA likes complicated systems, just look at Nations League.

    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.

    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
