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

5 of the 11 players who started yesterday against Italy will be going to the Olympics, so I will be highly diassapointed if we don't manage to get a medal in Tokyo. We failed miserably in London 2012 and our last medal dates back to Sidney 2000, so it's time to bring the fourth football medal to the country (gold in 1992 and silver in 1920 and 2000).

 

¡Vamos España! :ESP

Spain has a great squad and they are in my opinion the favorites for Gold. However, I wonder whether especially those players will perform as expected. They had a long season with their clubs, the European Championships right afterwards and now, after a break of a few days, the next big tournament waiting. So it's absolutely possible that they are reaching their physical and mental limits and are not able to perform on the level which they showed us during the Euro.

 

Still, if Germany manages to reach the QF I really hope we can avoid Spain there ;)

Let's see how they recover physically, especially Pedri who has played all the games in the EURO and the whole season with his club. I agree that it might be a problem if they are not at the same level that these days, but even without the 6 players, I think it's possible to make a competitive team.

 

For example, Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos or Bryan Gil have already played for the senior team, but this season they haven't played much due to different reasons, so this is a very good opportunity for these 3 guys to show how good they are and convince Luis Enrique to make the senior list in September. And I would also add to this list the name of Rafa Mir, he's quite unknown, even in Spain, since he plays for Huesca, but in my opinion he can be part of the senior team this season considering the low level of Spanish forwards. He plays different compared to Dani Olmo or Mikel Oyarzábal, which is always nice to introduce some tactical variations during the game.

 

Anyways, I don't like the draw at all. Facing Germany or Brazil (if we get through the group stage) in QF is not going to be easy. Good luck!

I think on paper Spain have the better team but this is a team sport and for instance you can see "worst" player becoming great because of the team spirit.

 

I was a very bad football player when I was young but my strength is my stamina and I keep running everywhere to help my teammate, they always thank me for this support that let them on offensive duty.

 

A well known french journalist says that the beauty in sport is the "glorious uncertainty of sport" that let the small win some times

      I'm sure she is riding as a freelance, not really part of the US team.  Guessing the World Cup team is official, maybe some juniors on the 2nd level circuit are also official, but she is probably just doing it herself, or with friends helping.

      Exactly, why not? It will be interesting to see if Uhlaender races in Sunday's Asian Cup. Very little opportunity to improve her score but they are not giving her the opportunity to race in WC or EC tomorrow. She has 84 points as her 7th best, so there is still a very small opportunity for her to be the American no. 2. Ro only needs a 23rd place I think to stay ahead. Just noticed she did not race at all in the first four NA cup races, but was registered for two, so more to her story for sure.

      Or the American team can arrange their internal ranking to be as if Canada entered all their athletes.

      You kind of wonder if some of it is misdirected. I mean, the americans get 3 entries in the world cup and she is not one of them so it was a near impossible task from the beginning. It seems like when she was doing well they could have reconsidered their top three for the January races, then she would have had a decent chance. Or her team could have entered more americans in earlier races too to boost the score of the first four NA cup races, but they didn't. So what were her conversations like with the american coaching team like?
