Actually, Japan will play in first division and not Slovenia

Achievement worth mentioning: Italy has qualified for the QF in Brussels and will very likely play a women's world cup after 42 years

Group of death is solved rather quickly as Argentina and Iran qualify for top 8 Our team plays pretty well considering we have 0 players above 200cm of height.

Today is Quarterfinals day, teams that win qualify for WC (but anyway all 8 teams will likely end up qualifying at the end). beats to become the 1st team to qualify for world cup And after that lost to

I'm not tuniscof, but I think those are 7 points for the day (3 points from MEX-POR and 4 from CMR-CHI). I know because I had similar predictions (1-1 too and 2-4 for chile).

Canada is out only if you win and if Bulgaria also wins, which is definitely not "99% sure".

1-7 Pakistan is a total disaster they are so bad they won't even beat Scotland, probably.

I predict Saudi Arabia will beat UAE but lose to Japan at home, thus going to play-off (Australia will smash Thailand at home). In the other group, if Korea fire their coach now then they will beat (or draw) Uzbekistan and/or Iran and qualify. If they don't fire him, then they will end up in the play-off...

I mean, this would be the best time to try making it since there haven't been that many world championships since Rio. There will be like 1000 WChs over the next two or three months, so we better hurry

You could try making it in the results forum with the old format made by OlympicIRL.

I really miss the totallympics medal table

Our coach understimated the WL, and we are going to div II as a consecuence. De Cecco and Conte enjoying their vacations instead of being here leading the team

Teams for new international tournament that will replace world league (named "Hockey Pro League") were decided: Men : Women: All the nations that I predicted more or less. The only "shock" for me is India in women, but FIH is practically owned by India nowadays through sponsorship, so... Pakistan will play their home games in Scotland (?) due to security reasons. The format will be home and away round robin.

^should be heywoodu. He is here every day and he is the one that cares most about the issue

No, not all the right are reactionary. It's just that this thread has a high concentration of the latter...
