Volko can qualify though? And maybe some new talent in the throwing events?

I fully expect IBU to blow the individual race within the next Olympic cycle instead The last event where shooting REALLY matters...

I could suspect Meghreb would be against Egypt tbh but guess it runs much deeper down there I have to say Czech Republic & Slovakia are probably our best friends among neigbour countries, Germany ain't have a shot

Sounds like IBU wants to introduce some Ruka Triple-like Season Opener from 2020? Say goodbye to the usual mixed relay & sprint relay crap then and say hello to Kontiolahti Triple?

Algeria could only play Benin in the final though? That sounds improbable

Edit: I could understand if this was "everyone dislikes Egypt" tho

The Veldakovas are still competing? Last hurrah until Tokyo?

Judging by bestmen's comments I guess Maghreb countries aren't exactly supporting each other much?

Seeding Kevin Anderson at #4 proved to be a complete joke like expected. He played like 6 matches since January

If you can't beat them you join them. Technically 2021 will be new rules but Mercedes could still dominate. And Max won't stay in RBR until the end of his career. He will get tired of being unable to win a championship and leaves.

If the ball's inside the area I'd rather think all three people in the VAR room are not looking elsewhere I think the ball trajectory suggested it was played by the Dutch defender, there was a very similar tackle in the group stage Italy vs Jamaica IIRC when BBC screamed bloody murder and outrage when a penalty was awarded for Italy (Jamaican defender clipped the ankle which went sideways and played the ball like it was tackled by the Jamaican player clean). Only after VAR replay the absolute idiot BBC commentator had to eat crowd and admit it was a stonewall penalty (I believe you watched that game since you're Italian). Sadly this error clearly falls on Irrati who didn't even make the call to the ref on the pitch. Yes, I believe VAR replay could have given Sweden a penalty but it's all irrelevant now.

Italian ref was on VAR. Why didn't he signal anything?

There was nothing wrong with the referee here. Losing fans always blame the ref though

USA wins 2-1. This was my predictions' result as well

Horrible tackle from Bright and she gets a second yellow and is off. This could have been a straight red too.

Lenghty VAR review gives England a penalty but Houghton has an absolute shocker of a shot.

Ellen White scores but she's offside.

Alex Morgan heads in on her 30th birthday. 2-1.

Press heads in after 10 mins. England defense looks overwhelmed already.

Rapinoe only on the bench for USA vs England. Seems like Jill Ellis is trying to outsmart Phil Neville here.
