A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y STUNNING AND GAGGING FROM OUR FOOTBALL TEAM. :hyper:

 

Ukraine moving up to 27 athletes, which is quite shocking because of our football boys, who revenged for our women's basketball team, who failed to qualify by receiving some bullshit scores from our friends from Lietuva and France. :whistle:

 

Anyway, it's a first our appearance on OG in football, so Ukraine fully deserved this historical moment. Feeling bad for Georgia, but it's a sport( 

Georgia should have beaten Israel as they dominated that match, and that's all there is. Ukraine played fine and this is well-deserved.

Still early days, but I wonder if :ENG performance will be sufficient to encourage the FA and SFA to open dialogue about allowing :GBR team for LA in 2028. 

it will never happen (in any case, an agreement must be reached by ENG, SCO, WAL and NIR all together) because the smaller unions are too afraid to lose their independence and forced to agree on a GBR team also outside the Olympics.

 

there's too much money to lose.

 

when there isn't (women's game), the agreement came quickly and probably will last forever.

Am aware that all home nations would need to reach agreement but it is the 80-20 principle - the Scottish FA is the primary roadblock to Team GB. There is no point in entering discussion with Wales and Northern Ireland without having Scotland onboard.

In all the write ups that I've seen so far about the match, not one has referenced the fact that with that result, the lads would/should have qualified for the Olympics.  Looks like this will be a missed opportunity to open the dialogue around Team GB.

is it too late to qualify the great britain team? frankly it's a real regret to do without good teams like with germany or portugal)

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
