yeah, I see. cool. you are absolutely right to be proud of your team, they show great team spirit, and frankly I´m impressed by your skills and your fight in the matches. I think your biggets problem is the lack of experiences, you have still to absorb some lessons how to play those matches, especially you are (it´s only my opinion, so you may be not agrre at all :d) you are too much impatient, you want score much goals early, early as possible, instead your opponents knew how to wait for the best moment and were more patient, for example against France you were great in the start, I see this enthusiasm and how your players wanted to score from each position, in other hand the french were much patient and waited for the right moments and scored the necessary goals. pity for that match, really pitty:( but it´s only with this kind of matches you will reach the needed experiences and next time you should be again some more step better. you definitely have a potential and great team workin. I use many times this word team spirit, teamfighting, because I see it in Germany, Hungary ...in fact in each team here except SVK, we haven´t a TEAM here, they don´t work together, and that´s the main reason why we are so shitty this year, we are not proud of our "team" this year at all...

 

and second thing. I still didn´t understood why Germany and France are in the same group when both are secured to maintain themselves as next years co-hosts. I think Hungary was robbed by this act. you have very though task this year, not only beat more experienced countries but also pass both lets tell "low ranked" already secured teams.

 

and yes the match against Finland was great and this goalie Vay was fantastic. thats true. he is so tall. I didn´t believed he´ll be so good at first see, but during the match, I started to be more and more impressed by his skills and efort.

You are right. We don't have NHL or KHL players. Our best players play in the French league and the EBEL. These leagues improved our players, but the NHL and the KHL are a level higher.

The match against France were really important. Maybe that's why our players tried to win that match too soon.

Our fans have passion, but I miss a little firework! :d

possible, but I still think that Russia will finally somehow reach the final, also don´t forget Czech Republic they are once again in one of their famous "hockey euphorias" this year:d but for sure those 4 teams will be in the semifinals

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
