Before I react wrongly: you are joking, right?
Talking about events that add nothing at all...(and again, yes, I watch the World Cups and everything, but things like that can stay nicely in the sport-specific World Cups and championships and away from something like the Olympics, just like the biathlon sprint and pursuit should not both be an Olympic medal event and that's a hill I'll gladly die on )
Argentina and Brazil losing in preliminaries in same day, that's something which we not see every year ok, Argentina lost in Colombia, but Brazil...damn
Been way less busy the last couple of days (usually I find something to watch, but besides KOTC and NFL there’s been nothing), still there’s a decent amount to look forwards to the next week or so.
Lots of tennis on with the Davis Cup and the Guadalajara Open, probably will watch more then is on the schedule. Also will try and catch some of the World Skate Games and the 3x3 U23 World Cup. No AVP League for me, stupid idiots decided to ruin the sport by making it PPV when it was doing completely fine on YouTube.
Anyone know if there’s a free streaming option for the Women’s U20 Football World Cup? For Canada’s matches of course

For me, the Asian surprise is Indonesia, with 2 draws against big teams in Asian qualifications, Saudi Arabia and Australia.
About Iran, I think you'll qualify easy from this group. Qatar looks very weak at the moment, you need a good result in Uzbekistan next month and that's all, I would say.
Women's junior ITT just started, both Sporza ( ) and UEC have a live stream.

That is awesome
Seems like it was a quite fun night for the neutral observer, Colombia beating Argentina, Bolivia beating Chile, Paraguay beating Brazil
But how? I've seen basically all World Cups and major events in the past 6-7-8 years or so, but the team event is usually the easiest one to skip through when watching later
Not like it is never exciting, but it doesn't really add much. The only thing that is actually different is sitting up to hit the paddle, apart from that it is simply a few consecutive runs put together. Of course it needed to be there, because every sport 'needs' a (mixed) team event for whatever reason.
Makes me wonder how that works for them, financially. Especially something that, internationally, is a rather obscure sport would surely benefit more from their biggest events being widely available to a global audience, instead of hidden behind a pay wall?
World Rowing did a much better job for example, their more obscure event, like last weekend's coastal rowing world champs, was available in it's entirety and for free on their YouTube channel, which is an excellent way to try and gain a bit of new audience..
