no, Portugal is exceptionally good at frustrating opponents. And Belgium (if they pass) is a team that gets frustrated easily. I predict penalties again or Portugal 1-0 win.

Two things: -I think you're understimating brazilian league players. Believe me, I watched most of them in Libertadores and other competitions and this is a really good selection. -We have already been denied half of our theoric starting XI and I think I read Porto/Benfica will deny many players too so I think Portugal won't be able to select the best either.

Yes, I think this is too much for the other teams. For example, Argentina coach is having big problems to assemble the team since european clubs are denying release of some of the best U23 players. I think the european teams will have similar problems.

here is the YouTube channel of spanish federation, but they don't broadcast all matches. Unfortunately they don't seem to be broadcasting India's today (I feel that they will only show ARG-ESP today). EDIT. Sorry, they are broadcasting India-Ireland actually!

I'm not an expert in the topic, but I think it's because that's how family names are constructed there (patronymic). Men names end with -sson, meaning "son of x", women names end with -dottir, meaning "daughter of x".

I'm not entirely satisfied with this win, for 2 reasons: -Paumen didn't play, dutch team is always much less... focused without her. -The champions trophy curse, team that wins the CT in olympic year never wins gold.

Today starts a six nations invitational tournament in Valencia, Spain (this is men's hockey). Participants: Overall I'd say it has more level than the mens champions trophy had, since all teams will be playing with their best squad here.

I'd welcome if someone could make more swimming suggestions. Rowing would be welcome too.

yes, but i think they don't really mean it and will be back after a time.

Of course, I will.

Argentina defeated Russia for the first time (last victory was vs USSR).

Women's qualifier started today... no surprises except maybe Ireland defeating China. Russia and Spain received 0 points in all their group games. Quarterfinals Russia - Argentina Ireland - Tunisia Kazakhstan - Samoa Spain - China

^It's true, Croatia played bad too. Very disappointing.
