Wales, Ukraine, Turkey, ROI Honestly the only teams I'd be shocked to see qualifying are Romania, NI, Macedonia and Albania. Everyone else has a more than fair chance in my eyes.

I read that Congo will be above Iraq in the new (and final) ranking even if Iraq win in regular time.

Very much the front runners going into the last matchday. are in 2nd place but I don't see winning away in

More importantly: Argentina never had an economy dependant on slave trade.

Normal for a female anglophone athlete in a semi professional sport. Ledecky is a rare exception.

Check english wikipedia.

Last time Wales and Costa Rica were sent to pot 4 despite they had enough ranking to be placed in higher pots.

It's quite likely that the uefa play-off teams will go to the last pot since the qualified teams won't be known at the time of the draw.

It's not Media and social networks, just the conservative echo chamber in them you scroll down every day.

I see Velasco a bit like Ancelotti in football, not amazing tactical knowledge of modern game but great group manager for big name players.

Italy looks more beatable than France but I don't trust some of our players to have two good games in a row

Does this country have no shame? What's the point of winning stuff doing that?

More likely France will win 3-1 and that'll be the end of it.

Finland will qualify... unless France wins 3-2 with Argentina scoring at least 2 more points than them, in which case both will qualify and not Finland.

I woke up expecting to read France easily won and they were playing a 5th. Fuck off

Chile blows both out of the water in infrastructure. Any kind of infrastructure, not just sport. Yet they have little sport success relative to that development.

Yeah but still their sport infrastructure is ridiculously bad. Even Paraguay who isn't much bigger is better in that.

The penalty for Bolivia Shameful gift. They won't qualify anyway.

Maybe it's obvious (or not to some) but it's not an official account.

Czechia has better overall quality but Slovakia has 2 or 3 players that are better than any czech.

A small correction: RSA has to lose 2 not all 3. And one is vs Nigeria. It's very unlikely that it will happen but South Africa isn't that good that we can say it's completely impossible.

Nigeria is not out.

Aquatics: Artistic swimming: 0 Diving: 0 Open water swimming: 0 Swimming: 3-5 Hein, Saravia should go. Maybe Santillan, Dieleke, Ceballos too. Don't know if I'm missing someone else. Water Polo: Since USA is qualified for the first time in decades it's not unthinkable to qualify in this sport. I'd say our men's team has a bit more of a chance since Canada men's team is weaker than their women's. Brazil has a stronger men's team but it's not impossible to beat. 0-12 Archery: we're always a coin toss apart from qualifying or not. Should be like that again. 0-1 Athletics: I'm actually optimistic to increase the numbers. 6-9 Badminton: Have never qualified and will not change soon. 0 Baseball: 0 Softball: we should've a stronger women's team honestly. 0 Basketball: This sport is currently dead here sadly. 0 Boxing: After failing to qualify anyone for the 1st time, only upwards is the way to go. 0-3 Canoe Slalom: Reallocations our only hope. 0-1 Canoe Sprint: Hope for some canoe presence this time. 2-4 Cricket: 0 Cycling Road: we always get a quota. 1-2 Track: There are improvements but not enough to qualify. 0 BMX Freestyle: Torres will at least show up to defend his title I believe. Not certain since quotas are limited and he's a bit older. 0-1 BMX Racing: we always qualify for the men's event, shouldn't be different. 1 Mountain Biking: A marginal chance to make it. 0-1 Equestrian: We should get a quota, but not a certainty. 0-1 Fencing: Same as above but more than one is possible. 0-3 Field Hockey: Easy. 32 Flag Football: No... 0 Football: not sure if women's is already impossible. Men's is usually a 50/50. 0-18 Golf: A quota in men's golf is always at reach. 1-2. Handball: only men's team has chance of around 40% I'd say. 0-12 Artistic Gymnastics: hopefully 1 each gender. 0-2 Trampoline Gymnastics: 0 Judo: Hoping for a continental quota. 1 Lacrosse: I don't think we have a federation. 0 Modern Pentathlon: Hoping for a quota. 0-1 Rowing: Are continental quotas still a thing? Only way we qualify. 0-1 Rugby Sevens: Men's. 12 Sailing: Nacra is in. Then some kite, windsurf and Laser quotas should come. 5-7 Shooting: Skeet M, Rifle M & maybe with less chance Rifle W. 1-3 Skateboarding: not an expert but don't think it should be disimilar to Paris? 0-2 Climbing: No chance, Canada too strong. 0 Squash: Dunno how many quotas are there but I think it isn't impossible for Romiglio. 0-1 Surfing: Unlikely but not impossible. 0-1 Table Tennis: i expect at least a quota with Lorenzo. 1-2 Taekwondo: continental qualification sees surprises and we aren't that bad. At the moment it doesn't seem like anyone should qualify but we'll see in two years. 0-1 Tennis: full men's team with maybe a token woman. 4-7 Triathlon: Nada. 0 Volleyball indoor: men's team has a chance to NOT qualify this time but they should in theory. 0-12 Beach V.: Capogrossos should qualify. Maybe a women's pair is also possible. 2-4 Weightlifting: 0 Wrestling: not impossible but not expecting it. 0-1 Pessimistic: 71 Likely: 120 Optimistic: 167
