It must be weird when your only way of measuring your 'progress' is the margin of your loses .

Considering that France is right now the 7th best European team...however still significantly behind the top 6 (NED, ESP, ITA, HUN, RUS and GRE) and far ahead of the next contestants GER, CRO, SRB, SVK and ISR it is pretty clear that even with 12 teams at the Olympics the Womens Water Polo tournament will still have the same participating nations at the next at least 4 Olympics.

 

Can not speak about France, but From SVK view it is hard to progress if the sport has almost inexistant medialization, popularity or public support in the country. Our mens once qualified for the Olympics in 2000 but water polo in Slovakia was not able to build or gain anything from that.

 

and it is even worse in the womens part, we do have like 4 or 5 existing womens water polo clubs in the country. So, I guess we may celebrate and be really proud even of such achievements, like it was here to qualify for the FQT. Blowouts were expected, I think we all expected it.

Really unfair that South Africa automatically gets in. I also think it's unfair for China and Australia too, even though they are at least decent teams. Canada are somewhat decent as well, but I disag

There's also one other obvious mistake: the continental representation shouldn't be decided by a tournament where already qualified teams can play. For example, we lost our chance for the European quo

While France may be currently a step above the other European nations, they would have a tough match against the other non-top 10 nations (Brazil, Cuba, Japan, Kazakhstan, New Zealand) for the final hypothetical spot in a 12-team tournament where one of the top 10 nations is the host.

And yet your girls are ranked 8th in Europe. Show how incredible small the sport actually is.

Men's water polo isn't all that much better in terms of the variety of teams, and yet they have 12 slots. I know, the matches aren't as ridiculously one-sided, but the Top7 European teams (Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Greece) will literally never miss the Games.

Nah... Japan lost to all their opponents at the 2019 Worlds ( :ITA:CHN:AUS ) by only 2 goals. They would eat France for breakfast.

 

Cuba lost by 16 goals to Greece and 13 to Spain. Respectable. Kazakhstan defeated Cuba.

 

New Zealand lost by only 9 goals to the Netherlands.

 

So, yeah, all of them would be able to beat France on paper (some more than others)...

While I agree France would be the favourite, I'd give those teams a decent chance at winning. At the 2015 and 2017 World Championships (the only recent ones France has competed in) they went 1-1 with New Zealand.

      Do or die for the US women.  Japan has nothing to play for, but I'm sure they would love to beat Norway if they have to face them again.  Let's go Tabitha!

      Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony.

      That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.
