Except for England-Fiji maybe, all others will be pop-corn matches. Ireland seems determined to finally make SF and All Blacks are not what they have been couple of years ago... 

No Irishman will ever, EVER, underestimate the All Blacks. No point to lull us into a state of complacency, though it's lovely that the Kiwis think it now worth bothering with mind games for us - we've come up in the world!

 

All joking aside, what a quarterfinal ! I'm sure more than one New Zealand fan was hoping Ireland and Scotland would connive the result that eliminated the Boks and gave the All Blacks a Scottish quarter!

Oh, that was a great match! Congrats :ARG 

Cracking Game. Happily Japan are now safe for 27 and hopefully by then may be in the Rugby Championship - they looked perfectly capable today. With Fiji qualifying and Australia holding on to third, Samoa are rock hard favourites to qualify from Oceania for 27.

 

Word is that 27 is almost certainly going to 24 teams, but there may not be the post-pool shield competition for the 3rd and 4th place teams that many people, myself included, argued for - tell me you wouldn't want to see Portugal, Samoa, Georgia, Australia, Italy, Scotland, Tonga, Japan, Chile and Uruguay having a crack at each other in the midweek between the Cup knock outs!

    • Btw, Is there a chance to take these players to play in our national team of Football?   I am sure we would have a better presentation in these next qualifier matches

    • Yeah, most likely her mother is an obsessive money hungry monster, especially when you see her parading like a "manager" to a 16 year old.. I'm sure very few are faulting Elvira in this situation.
    • If she had retired, I think I would have heard it 'around', so I am just assuming she is still competing, although in between she is also working as FIS delegate in places like Bulgaria during the summer  
    • 1 year anniversary to the horrors of October 7th.    The terrorists are getting everything coming to them after that day
    • https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoxRYLT34JyG-Nu4lg643WcMaUTTGZXnL.   Here's the YouTube playlist, sorry for the delay. Still need someone to do a Spotify playlist for those that want as I am unable to create one. 
    • One of the legends of Dutch football from the 70's, Johan Neeskens, has passed away aged 73. His most famous moment by far was in the World Cup final against West Germany, when in the 2nd minute he made 1-0 from a penalty in his characteristic way: indescribably hard through the middle.
    • no names mentioned, even the number of athletes is not finalized yet, the report says 4 in CC without mentioning the gender.   I assume if she is still competing (not retired) she will be going , hard to find anything about winter sports athletes in the summer  (or even in the winter )
    • Soon it will be goodbye to the   British Indian Ocean Territory as they will become part of Mauritius.   No permanent residents, but the descendants of expelled indigenous residents from the 70s have a “Chagos Islands” football team. Ironically, just a few months ago, they played their first match under the “BIOT” name, and their shirts had the flag which looks pretty amazing.
