FIFA would drop Poland, Sweden and Czechia in a heartbeat if they have to. Obviously their only concern is to not lose teams like England, Spain, France, Germany.

I hate to be his lawyer on this topic because we couldn't be further apart in politics, but Konig is clearly not pro Putin lmao He's probably just taking a dig at "social-democrat" politicians.

Sorry, voted where?

It was the first games since 2006 that weren't even broadcasted on local tv. I think that says it all about the expectations. I still could watch everything since a mexican company has rights for latam and streams everything on YT (olympics free in YT, a dream for anyone here, I know). Our best performance was a 24th place in Luge, and the athlete doesn't even live in Argentina. For winter athletes here currently there's no money and no hope of getting better. We are barely able to sustain amateur summer sports right now, imagine winter.

So I suppose this Slafkovsky is top contender for a draft? Don't know how much this tournament is rated in NHL eyes.

Holy crap, you're ready to go set balls for the giant sitting volleyball guy.

The draw: Pool A (host) Pool B Pool C (host) Pool D

None, all will be low level most likely. Awful scheduling.

If it was up to me anything that isn't a judo throw or taking a short cut outside of the course limit would be allowed. No pushing penalties for pussies, no lane bullshit. Just go and murder each other

I don't like these post-race revisions at all, makes me feel like all I watched before was a waste of time.

I don't understand the rules, but the chinese grabbing the other guy at the end is ok?

Egypt made unnecesary mistakes: 1. Never choose to kick second. 2. Never select your best taker to shoot the 5th.

No way. As stated above Asia has 5 good teams yet one will miss the tournament. Any of them would beat Chile/Canada 7 times out of 10 (personal opinion after watching these teams many times). Pan-America does have an argument to deserve 4 places among the women though.

I really don't want to draw Canada for the world cup as the bottom row team.

Canada wins the last ticket for the world cup after winning 1-0 against the US. Return to a major tournament for them after 28 years.

They quote her in the article talking about the accident so I assume she was in a decent state of mental and physical health (as decent as you can be after something like this I mean), so, I would also assume our colleague was not present.

I'm completely out of the loop with these games so, sorry if this was posted elsewhere but Bruna is out, she suffered some car accident when traveling to Munich. If I understand portuguese correctly she's alive but broke some bones. The driver sadly died. https://ge.globo.com/olimpiadas-de-inverno/noticia/brasileira-sofre-acidente-de-carro-a-caminho-do-aeroporto-e-esta-fora-das-olimpiadas-de-inverno.ghtml

Korea, China, Japan and India have qualified for the WC after making the semifinals of women's Asia Cup. No surprises there as Asia had 4 quotas and the distance in quality between those teams and the rest is inmense.

I'm pretty sure the cut is being made now in February or March, after the continental tournaments. I saw posts from several african federations saying their teams were aiming for qualification to the games in this competition. And well... T&T is already toasted in the panam cup and has been behind Ghana for a long time and the other african Commonwealth nations didn't use this chance to them take down, so Ghana is making the cut regardless of the month.

South Africa has qualified after defeating Ghana 3-1 to win african cup of nations. I believe Ghana qualifies for the Commonwealth Games hockey tournament with this 2nd place though.

South Africa has qualified after defeating Egypt in a shoot-out to win african cup of nations.

Morocco and Nigeria are with one foot in Qatar. Egypt R.I.P. CMR vs ALG deadly match. Let's go Mali.
