If France and Russia don't qualify it will be a major f-up on their end.

Brazil has withdrawn from the olympic qualification tournament

Sad but their chances were slim. Will they be replaced though ? Good opportunity for Paraguay (who placed 4th at the 2019 SA qualifying tournament) to face stronger teams. 

I'd like to know how the seeding will be made. WS teams surely first, in which order though ? If we take 2018-2019 then it's Samoa-France-Ireland, if we take 2019-2020 then it's France-Ireland-Samoa. Not much of a difference between n°2 and n°3 but since there is a huge level gap between those three teams and the rest, n°1 is assured to avoid the other two until the final. Same question for the other teams by the way, as there is no such thing as a world ranking in 7s.

Speak of the devil ... here are the pools :

 

Women's :

 

Pool A : :RUS :ARG :MEX :SAM

Pool B : :PNG :KAZ :JAM :TUN

Pool C : :FRA :HKG :COL :MAD

 

2 spots up for grabs. Russia and France probably n°1 and 2 but having France in pool C is quite strange since the n°3 is usually drawn in this pool. It really was a draw, so full coincidence.The two european teams shouldn't face each other before the final though, being in pool A and C. Had they been drawn in pool B and C, one of them would be eliminated, which is total nonsense.

 

Men's :

 

Pool A : :SAM :IRL :TGA :ZIM :MEX

Pool B : :FRA :HKG :CHI :UGA :JAM

 

It appears China has withdrawn too. Don't know the format, maybe quarter-finals, maybe straight semi-finals. Samoa seeded 1. 5 teams per pool so 2 matchs maximum in the last round.

Confirmed that it’s the top 2 into a semi final for the men. Seeding looks very favourable to France (when they don’t need it!).

It doesn't make any difference, France will have to play Samoa and Ireland in semis and final. It is not possible for any of these 3 teams to avoid playing the other 2 unless there is some unforeseen upset.

Hmm, not that much. It means Ireland/Samoa in semis and then in final, whereas having one of them in our pool could mean an easier semi-final.

The favourable bit to France is they don’t have to play any team of note until the semi final 

 

by then whoever they’ve faced will likely have had 2 tight games 

 

France, effectively, has a bye to the semi final

      is having its general election today.   In a big turnaround, the Liberals lead by Mark Carney are now ahead in the polls, after having been over 20 points behind as recently as December. This is mostly credited to the resignation of Justin Trudeau and America's on and off trade war, along with comments Donald Trump made about Canada becoming the 51st state.   While the Liberals are favoured to win a fourth consecutive election, there is a lot of uncertainty around whether it will be a majority or a minority government. There is also an outside chance of the Conservatives, lead by Piere Poilievre, will form a minority government.

      Ukraine has made progress recently and lost yesterday on penalties to the UK, but that still doesn't explain why the Italian team isn't making any progress. We are sitting in a lower division for 3 years and that's with a ban for Rus and Blr. New and great coaches are being brought in and it's not giving any results. 8-10 years ago we were regularly playing in the highest division, every 2 years and that was with a much stronger teams (Russia and Belarus were there). I don't know where the problem is.

      Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday

      If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders.

      At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us.

      yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series
