LDOG 2,199 Posted September 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 27, 2016 More round 1 of world league this week in Mexico. Unfortunately, Panama pulled out of both competitions (here we go again with the last minute withdrawals... FIH should impose sanctions), so we will have 4 and 3 team tournaments M&W respectively. Apparently both will give only one quota for round 2... even though the numbers for round 2 don't add up, I assume FIH does this because of some rule that says they can't give more than 1 for tournaments with less than 5 teams? I guess they will pick the highest ranked not-qualified teams to complete the field for next round. & men and & women should compete for the place. I think Mexico will take both.

I actually think the contrary, Mexican teams even when in home soil can't handle pressure well, but I don't loose hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted September 30, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Today will start the last stage of World League round 1 in Peru. It seems that PAHF also decided that it will double as the South American Championship.... so it will also be the first time Argentina will not win it Curiously, men will not participate, guess they had enough hockey for this year?... the women's team will be present though. We will also have absolute debut in Hockey for if i'm not mistaken. BTW i'm surprised by how developed the peruvian federation is in terms of social media: they have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube channel and in all of them they post content regularly there will be even livestream available for this tournament (!). It's much better than what I have seen from chilean, uruguayan or brazilian federations who in theory should be more interested in Hockey than Peru... One quota available in Men's and two in Women's. Not much mystery here, should win both tournaments and should take 2nd quota in W. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrv86 2,924 Posted October 2, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 2, 2016 As I expected, the Mexican men's team blew their chances by losing to Barbados and now the ticket for next round is almost granted for USA. On the women's side, only a true catastrophe could prevent the women from advancing to Round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG 2,199 Posted January 14, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Today started in Malaysia the first tournament of World League round 2, which gives two places (and maybe a best 3rd eventually) in semifinal round. & should have no big trouble taking the 2 available places, should take 3rd, but has to watch out for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted January 22, 2017 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2017 & advance to semifinal round of women's world league. The latter made an slight upset beating , who will have now to wait to get a best third place in next round (it is highly likely). Ireland strong team, was close to the olympics and should now qualify for world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojthas 947 Posted January 23, 2017 #20 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I can't imagine other scenario like Spain and India winning or at least getting to the final of their tournaments, which means Italy would be the best third placed team. Along with Spain I'd like to see Poland in the final of Valencia tournament - now the only chance for us to get to the next round and fight for the World Cup quota.
