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)

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
