Men's African teams have full Squads from Europe and even 1 or 2 in NBA but they always suck , the Girls rule :clap:

 

Because it's easier to "climb the ladder" in women's sport (since it's less developed) than it is in men's, it's the same in all team sports.

 See for example Brazil handball national teams: both have almost all players in european leagues since a few years but the women have reached a higher level in less time.

Spain :d This was sooooooooo expected. They were is the same part of draw as USA so now they have chance for final :d

 

What to expect from Spain.. just like men's World Cup a couple of years ago. I hope Canada wins Group A and then beat them in QF by 1 point! :cheer:

Looks like Canada recovered. That or France is throwing the game so they could have a better chance at reaching the semi-finals.

TBH it mostly looked like Canada got it’s act together more so than France throwing. Canada had a laughable free throw and field goal percentage in the first two and a half quarters before getting it together.

    • I didn't this year. But the Summer Grand Prix is like Formula 3 to Winter Ski-Jumping being the F1  I mean Zografski of all people won the Grand Prix last summer, which says it all.

    • The squad was reserve, but that's a disgrace. Apart from Favaretto, there's no generational change. Without Volpi and Errigo, we're very weak. After Paris, it was already clear that the USA had clearly overtaken us. Cerioni isn`t the miracle worker he once seemed.
    • Italian women's foil team, with Errigo and Favaretto, lost against Ukraine in quarterfinals 
    • This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Clement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress and we? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke. 
    • Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.
    • Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.
