no need to score own goals, just let Slovakia take easy open shots, score a goal to draw and repeat. Of course it will not happen but because we are stupid, not because we can't.

I understand your point obviously.

 

Well, Stupid or not. I just hope you will play at your 100 % and score as many goals as possible, it would definitely be much fairer also for our girls than not playing and just sabotage the match on purpose. playing against italy is an honor for our young girls and an experience these girls may very well never experience again, they definitely don't want you to play only for some 20% and give us such "fake win" gift

ok, please point out to the rule you are referring to in FINA rulebook then.

 

Taken from FINA RULES ON THE PREVENTION OF THE MANIPULATION OF COMPETITIONS: 

 

PMC 3 VIOLATIONS

 

PMC 3.2 Manipulation of Competitions Directly or indirectly contriving or attempting to contrive the outcome or any other aspect of any Competition with the goal of obtaining a Benefit for oneself or for others.

 

 

 

 

The definitions are a bit vague, but still broad enough that they could punish if they wanted to.

The match between ITA and SVK doesn't matter anymore: ITA wins the group based on the mutual result against France. Goal difference is not decisive. Netherlands will enter the Greece-side of the bracket. HUN and ITA on course for the deciding other match.

It matter if ITA draws or loses because in that case they would be 2nd simply on points.

no worries, not gonna happen.

 

pretty sure this one will end ugly. 3rd day in a row against much much stronger opponents is too much for our young girls, this wil be a double digit blowout and Italy will score more than 20 for sure and even if they will run the score also in the last period, they may score more than 30 goals

don't worry guys...

 

Italy will never allow Slovakia to win today's game...surely they won't play as hard as if it was a decisive game and most likely we will rest our best girls not to risk any injury, but they will win by some margin in any case...

 

and if there's some justice up in the sky (I highly doubt, but never say never...), on Saturday Italy and Greece would eventually qualify to the Games at the expense of the unsportsmanlike behaviour of HUN and NED...:pope:

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
