Anyone can beat Cristina to be honest... we will see realistic election results when she isn't around anymore.

India men are asian champions, which means China is qualified for the World Cup (despite being only 7th in Asia...) and South Korea is out for the first time since 1990. Today started the african championships in Egypt (both M & W), in women competition there is not much interest as South Africa should easily win, but on the men's side home nation Egypt must defend their world league quota by winning the tournament since any other nation winning this (most likely South Africa) would see them out from the World Cup. oh, and Zambia pulled out last minute and without even noticing anyone (!) from both competitions. A classic of African/Oceanian hockey.... probably a FIH suspension coming soon for them.

Sorry, but he's racist towards who exactly? I assume not east asians

Please, don't get angry but I have to point out a mistake that I see you are making often: the correct spelling is "with". Yes, I couldn't live without telling you that, sorry

I dislike both N.I. and switzerland as teams and they got drawn together the other games will be close. I hope for Italy and ireland to win but I feel both scandinavians will win.

What a nasty draw. I don't like any of the match-ups, for different reasons.

I think the top 12 teams aren't drawn, they are seeded according to ranking in the groups.

Argentina goes to WCh after beating Peru 3-1. As always with the women's team, I'm more happy about beating the south american rivals than about actually going to the big events (because our team will only be a punching bag there), but anyway...

Argentina is almost qualified too, only way to prevent it would be Peru winning today 3-0 and with a large point difference, which simply isn't going to happen.

It was indirect free kick, the keeper touched the ball and made it valid.

Pot 1 teams for the draw will be (if i'm not wrong): Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, France & Poland.

I think i lost 10 years of lifespan today. Thank god we have the best player in the World.

Lol she will break some world record soon and then disappear like many chinese.

It's impossible, Denmark will overtake both Sweden and NI in the next ranking published. That's already set.

I hope to see Denmark-Sweden and Italy-ROI, those would be great match-ups I also feel Croatia will qualify regardless which opponent.

I read the 4th seeded team is gonna be Denmark, even if Sweden wins tomorrow.

I know, but this match matters because then Bosnia could take 2nd place off Greece and Bosnia can't have better position than Slovakia in the 2nd placed table even if they win.

And still Slovakia is not officially out... Greece could fail to beat Gibraltar

I remember it was you or some other serbian user saying that actually

Looks like everything it's settled. It's bye bye Slovakia unless Wales scores a goal in these last 10 minutes.

I think in your particular case it doesn't really matter because Argentina still has me and konig as long time representatives... so argentine participation is not in risk nor it is a "one-off" thing, which is what Sindo is talking about.

Higuaín and Agüero are both garbage playing for Argentina. It wouldn't change anything.

Argentina played well today, but just can't put the ball inside the goal. It doesn't matter anymore... I'm already mentalized we won't play the WC.

Well, bad day for Argentina at the games... all 3 tennis finals lost (to my shock). To make it worse two of them to Colombia... I think it's safe to say now that Colombia will surpass us (even if barely) on the medal table at the end. Good job from Delfina Pignatiello (like always) winning by herself 3 golds, 3 silvers and 2 bronzes in swimming.

I think Denmark is already secured of at least play-offs, but these results in England's group are very good news for Sweden/Netherlands. If Scotland doesn't win their final game in Slovenia, then you can play without worries about other groups.
