Btw you pussies whining about the climate now you know what it feels like to watch a winter WC Let's not forget that Argentina 78 and South Africa 2010 were held mid winter just to suit northern audiences.

This is entirely on Europe. Most other leagues around the world already wrapped up before this weekend. The calendar is crammed because UEFA forced their NTs to play all those stupid nations league games in June. Otherwise all european leagues could have started at least a week earlier.

Zero chance but I predict he will debut in march for the first 2026 qualifier games.

No. Almost half the teams.

This is fake, they release the list later today.

One quota for in 10m rifle men & women.

Tuesday 3pm, people have to work you know.

To be fair the 4th polish GK is still a good player while a field player in his place would be an ekstraklasa nobody

The champion will be one of Argentina, Brazil or Portugal. France has the talent to win it again of course but I'm very skeptical about betting anything on defending champions in this competition, so I don't think they will win. I don't see any other team winning.

It's not much of a problem if GB remains as one team every season.

Argentina is an adjective that has "evolved" into a noun, there's no problem there. The english used to call it "the argentine" in the XIX century, personally wouldn't care if they kept doing that, it's their language after all. About RD, if they were simply called "dominicana" it would be easier. But there is already Dominica, so perhaps it would cause more trouble than good for everyone in that case.

Well, I do support the Czechia change since almost every country in the world is officially called "the republic of x" or "the y republic" so it didn't make much sense for everyone to address the czech especifically like that. However all Turkiye, Qazakstan, Cymru stuff is ridiculous, just accept your english name for international events lol, don't try that hard to be a snowflake.

Lol aren't them at odds now? Just like with Maslatón. These "liberals" split up every two seconds just like the marxists.

Yes, in europe in general and the USA it's the other way around.

In latin america at least it's 100% like that. Those are hard facts, then some people will explain it saying "it's because they are ignorant and dependant on social welfare" while others will say "because only leftist policians care about them". You decide your interpretation.

Poor, isolated regions = leftist voting tendency. Is not magical at all in my view....

The other day I heard a journalist say our entire sports budget is the same as the budget of brazilian swimming.

An additional problem besides traveling costs was that many windows clashed with decisive stages of european leagues which made many teams play some pro league games with B/C squads. If you check the schedule for this year it's all compressed in November-February (when many european leagues do a long winter stop) and then straight to June when all european leagues are over.

Tbf with team sports, it's only volleyball and water polo that have that problem, the rest are perfectly fine as they are (in the sense that all have at least one competitive enough team per continent). Women's football tournament is still not ideally shaped but since football is such a popular sport and women's game is evolving fast I'm sure even the most uncompetitive confederations will improve drastically in the next few cycles.

I read the PR statement from this group of people and it seems their request centers around the anti-government interference rule that FIFA has, which is a fair reason but in practice FIFA has been notoriously inconsistent at enforcing in the past, turning a blind eye to several cases.

FIFA will throw that paper to the bin as soon as it arrives.

Sent by whom?

Llegamos a las 200 medallas? Apuestas? Vamos 185. Ya tenemos aseguradas 7 mañana: 2 en waterpolo, 2 en Squash, 1 en Tenis, 1 en beach voley, 1 en handball. Faltarian 8. Va a haber competidores en: - Un bronce de beach voley. Atletismo: - dos chicas en 3000m obstáculos. - Salto con garrocha masculino. - 800m masculino. - 800m femenino. - maratón masculino. - Disco masculino. Ciclismo: - Keirin masculino (dos ciclistas tenemos). - Madison femenino. - Madison masculino. Viendo marcas es improbable que se consiga medalla en 800m y en el disco. Y en el ciclismo no tengo idea del nivel de nuestro Madison femenino (pero supongo debe ser muy pobre). Yo creo que nos vamos a quedar a una o dos de las 200.

Ok, it looks like my prediction will fall short. 6 golds today. I didn't expect this many golds in athletics after years of very poor performances.
