Men's Football UEFA Under 21 European Championship 2023


Recommended Posts

it's history!

 

:ISR for the first time in the semifinals of the euro-u21

 

congrats to them!

 

bitter end for :GEO...losing on penalties is always painful...losing on penalties at home in front of a great crowd is heartbreaking :cry:

 

now, if at least one between :FRA and/or :ENG win their respective quarterfinal match, :ISR are also qualified to the Olympic Games Paris 2024

 

:GEO instead, must hope that both :FRA and :ENG advance to the semifinals to play the Olympic Quota playoff match

Iran, Algeria and co. watching Israel rise in football and qualifying to stuff: :what:

I still don't consider it "rise in football", at least not yet. random results happen in youth level football. and this U23 team was hanging by a thread the entire time during the qualifiers and the final tournament. they advance round by round by the narrowest possible margin. no problem Iran is not going to qualify for the Olympics this time too

 

when I was a kid (I mean 10-12 or something) I thought maybe if Iran falls in the same group as Israel in the big football world cup maybe that forces them to change the policy because football is different. they can't afford doing that in football but I'm older and wiser now :d and I know that won't happen as long as this oldman lives 

 

btw I thought nowadays you are allowed to play against whoever you want. "do not mix sport with politic thing" has changed since February 2021. right ?

Yeah, I have learned over the years to not take the youth/junior events too seriously. Hungary was 3rd at the 2009 U20 World Cup, only one of those players ended up being top tier football players during their senior career (Gulácsi). Not to mentionion the numerous junior/youth success in women's handball during the late 2010s, which didn't manifest into a golden age of Hungarian handball in the last few years, to say the least. In team sports these junior/youth tournaments rarely mean anything for the future.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
