Men's World league semifinals final distribution: Tournament 1: Tournament 2: In theory, top 8 from each tournament should qualify for the world cup. Which means, the last 2 will miss out in both.

Well, we're approaching the end of world league round 2 and today we'll have the last qualified teams from men's tournament 3 (very likely & ). Today also starts the last women's tournament for this round in Vancouver, Canada. Possibly the closest one too: or even have potential to qualify here, but there are only two places available for the next round (except for who could finish 3rd and still qualify for the next round due to ranking). Really, really close level between these teams.

Brazil has qualified for the World Cup. It may not look like it when you read the table, but Uruguay and Argentina still have to play so it's impossible for both of them to overtake them.

He should be called, but it is rumored that the players don't want him in the team because of his attitude and "extravagant" life.

Dybala was injured. Agüero is also terrible with the NT, he doesn't deserve to even be called. Pratto, Pizarro and Acuña were our 3 best players today, you don't know them because they don't play in Europe but they are good. In Argentina NT everything is upside down: the ones that play for big clubs are the worst players of the team (except Messi).

I'm cool. Bauza is 90% going to be fired now, and since Colombia is beating Ecuador 0-2 in Quito we'll only have to win our two home games vs Venezuela and Peru to reach at least 5th place.

He's suspended, fortunately.

They didn't change much, they have the same coach and the same players. Fiji relaxed a lot it seems (and also changed coach) so they are taking opportunity.

It was a soft penalty, like those a team can only get playing at home. Still, I didn't care about that. The tactics and player selection are my worry.

We play worse and worse every match. I don't know what Higuain and Agüero have to do to stop being called up for the NT, maybe spit the coach in the face? I think not even that may be enough....

Listened to everything today and voted

You guys sure go through a lot of trouble just to vote for an internet contest... I think I have an easy time voting because I rarely like more than 10 songs (especially in the anual contest which usually has less quality in my view).

I don't understand that either, I always get it done in an afternoon or a night and I listen all the songs at once, not progressively as they come out like most people here do. PS. I haven't listen any song yet. I'll do it tomorrow or the day after.

U20 world cup draw: A - B - C - D - E - F -

The posts here are a bit confusing..... from the info you guys are giving it does seem to me, however, like an slight attempt at censorship of a minority from dutch/german governments. In the dutch case, are they denying entrance just on a presumption that there could be incidents or there is some law that forbids foreign governments from campaigning on dutch soil or sth? PS. I don't care about the politics, just legal considerations.

wtf Does he have american citizenship? because otherwise I don't know how will he do that.

Sorry, why exactly it is not allowed to give those speeches?

Italy team = 7/18 argentinians if I counted correctly

& advance to the next round of Men's World League. still has a chance to advance as a best 3rd though, but they have to wait. Today starts the second round 2 tournament in Belfast, big favorite to win. 2nd place should be between or . A bit behind are and .

I sound like a broken record saying this every year, but here we are: 7th consecutive year Real, Barcelona and Bayern all make the QF, will they mysteriously avoid playing each other on this instance for the 7TH CONSECUTIVE TIME?

^lol that thing about Maradona was that once in a tv show he said that some players drank a "quick coffee" ("café veloz", whatever that means for him) before a match against Australia. The other players of that time however replied to Maradona and said they had no idea what he was talking about. Maradona usually makes up these stories about his times as a player when he is on tv I wouldn't take it seriously. The only drug addict is him.

It's true, I just checked the list and it seems only Jumping athletes receive state support.

I'm in.

no, no, I said cut just men's football, women's football stays of course. 16 men's teams of 18 players is 288 quota total. If we say futsal squads could do with 12 players, then we have enough free quota for 24 teams, so we can have 12 men and 12 women teams for the futsal program about popularity hmmm, it's difficult to say, I think men's futsal and women's football have equal popularity right now. They have different markets I guess... women's football is more popular in northern Europe, East Asia and USA. Futsal instead is more popular in mediterranean countries, latin america, the middle east and southeast Asia.

I agree in everything except: -I think TKD needs a few more weight categories (too many people are currently fighting above/below their normal weight just to be in the olympics, it's dangerous). -Also I think in Fencing you meant 12 events and not 6. -I would axe men's Football and use all that quota for men's and women's Futsal instead, but I guess you won't like it cuz Germany is just starting to play it
