Final Standing available here. Dunadan dcro Federer91 Congratulations to dcro, Water Polo Olympic Prediction Champion. Dunadan again gets a medal in a Olympic Prediction Contest just having joined the forum this year (hope he comes back for future contests). Federer91 snatches a bronze with spot-on predictions over the last two days. Solid performance from all croatians, Crolympic got 4th place with Jolly in play, crovitlaci on the other hand could have won a medal if he hadn't missed Men's Semifinals. This concludes my work for this year, for the remaining results you will have to wait for Wanderer. See you!

There will be results this weekend, so don't desperate.

We need one edition in which we compete as the unrepresented countries of the forum.

It's not only about "counting points", to manage these contests you also need: -a decent amount of free time. -a good enough level of english that allows you to communicate with other users efficiently (to answer their questions, to make sure announcements are understood, etc). -to be a reasonable person that can judge the complex situations that arise while the contest is being held, trying to balance between the respect for the rules that is needed and common sense. I currently lack one of these and maybe I'll have to quit because of it, on the other hand, some other users lack more than one...

World League Semifinals draw (5-6 quota for World Cup 2018 available in each tournament): MEN London - + 4 teams from Round 2 Johannesburg - + 4 teams from Round 2 WOMEN Brussels - + 4 teams from Round 2 Johannesburg - + 4 teams from Round 2

You already voted according to first page...

"Leo" is not a name, is nickname for Leonardo or Leonel. Occasionally for Lionel, but it's most usually "Lio" for them.

Most common names picked last year Male: Female: Most common surnames:

If Messi is injured again next month I won't even bother to watch.

It's raining.

Hat-trick Lewandowski In Africa DR Congo starts the campaign steamrolling Libya. I think they are going to qualify in this weak group Also key victory for South Africa in Burkina. EDIT: Burkina ties on injury time

Romania 4-0 in 29"

In my opinión it wasn't legal, the keeper was holding the ball firmly with one hand and got it kicked by Iceland player, which is not allowed.

^It didn't help that the coach played a very bad tactic today and took him 70 minutes to realize it didn't work. Anyway, I'm growing impatient with Messi's constant injuries right before FIFA matchdays...

Nah, the 4 teams are already decided. UAE or KSA don't have the level in the long run to push them out. I had hope for a new team with Uzbekistan but it seems they are also weaker than previous years. Probably the 5th team will lose to Honduras or something.

Lots of goals today in Europe, higher than 3 per match average. Group 4 is the most exciting for me 4 teams with equal chances to qualify, group 9 is close too but Croatia is a step above the others. Asian qualifiers are boring, always the same results and the teams never improve their level.

I will only buy tickets for serious events, nothing mixed between countries or between disciplines.

The list says "Badminton 3x3", I think it's Basketball 3x3 and Badminton separately. Also isn't Hockey actually Hockey 5s?

CAMPEOOOOOOONES CAMPEOOOOONES See Messi that's how it's done (?)

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.

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.

Women Roller Hockey World Championship started yesterday in Chile. @phelps?

Well, purely in terms of "nationality" clearly for me it's more american than mexican... but the thing is that the concept of "association" included in the rules pretty much leaves everything up to subjectivity (how can you measure "association"?). And yeah, I personally associate this band with Mexico more than USA, because the most relevant musician in it is mexican.

It's the same with the 2 argentines mentioned in part 4, those TUE were from 2010 and 2014.
