Surely but playing with third level player is not an option when you qualify for the biggest sport event in the world.

 

I hope an answer will be find but I am very skeptical with french clubs. The federation select only one player from each clubs I guess they will try to defend that idea but it will difficult.

This France is truly a disaster. After the penalty they had tried to create scoring chances, but Mexico simply plays on a higher level

Withdrawing now? That would make the French federation look like idiots, surely they will be able to find 18 players.

There is a preliminary list of 50 from which teams are supposed to select the 18 from but if they are given permission to select from elsewhere then yes, they can't withdraw.

I have news for you: half of the other teams are having the same problem.

I think we are lucky in Spain with this, because Spanish teams are forced by law to allow players to play for the national team, even if it isn't mandatory by FIFA. The final list will be published on Tuesday, but we will have a competitive team with several players that are participating in the EURO. Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarzabal are a lock, while Eric García, Pau Torres, Unai Simón and Pedri still have chances to make it. Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid will be 2 of the 3 players over 24.

 

Fabián Ruiz was going to be the other over-24 player, but Napoli didn't let him play, same case as Ferrán Torres (City), Rodrigo Hernández (City) and Borja Mayoral (Roma).

Apparently Barcelona has asked Pedri to refuse, but he is willing to play in Tokyo anyways. Barcelona isn't happy with that and they are trying to negotiate with the Spanish federation to liberate him. Let's see what happens.

      Unfortunate the way things worked out. Despite finishing 1st, Canada has to face the winner of Sweden/Scotland. But you have to beat the best to win anyway.    Edit: And it'll be Scotland, the only team Canada lost to in the round robin.

      Kristian Gkolomeev (swimming)   He specialised in the men's 50 freestyle, was 5th in both Tokyo and Paris, won a world silver in 2019 and many European medals including gold last year.   He went to the Olympics 4 times. He is still only 31 years old but hinted at Paris being the end for him so I guess it should not be surprising, though he is still in his top form and given how close he was to winning an Olympic medal the last two times, I was hoping he would try again in 2028...

      Women's Tennis WTA Tour 2025

      People are judging her but the truth is she has no points to defend after Wimbledon. She only played the Olympics where she lost in the third round and got injured, then withdrew from the North American swing (including two 1000s) except she tried to play the US Open and retired in her first round match, then missed the rest of the season (another two 1000s plus Guadalajara which was her best tournament regardless of it being the WTA Finals, 1000, or 500 as it is now).   She could've extended her injury break to be exactly 6 months as many players do to get a protected ranking, but she came back and risked missing big tournaments and having to play qualifying possibly. If anything she should be applauded for that.   It looks like she'll have to play qualifying in Rome and possibly Wimbledon for example, which she wouldn't have had to do if she abused the protected ranking system as many others do.   EDIT-Also she was still in the top 10 during both the Olympics and the US Open, so people writing that her ranking was already dropping are incorrect!

      Different what the UK got on TNT where Steve Cram (The voice of Athletics on the BBC for the last 25 years) took part in the praising of the Atmosphere (Which sounded ridiculous as it wasn’t very good).   Some of the races were ok but it was so flat. The hurdles are a big flaw because 1 hurdle and 1 flat race is not a mixing of different categories and skills in the way the other events can be. 3000 and 5000m  be too similar   as well I think.    I don’t get why they started in Kingston. Anyone could tell it would struggle for attendance there more than in the USA.    Also I’m surprised Johnson invited Naser with her ban.
