You know i'm not the type to say positive things about our team but Argentina was better than Brazil today and got screwed by the referee (two penalties that VAR ignored for whatever reason). That being said, Brazil has world class players, better than ours, and that's why they scored two goals against the run of play and won.

I can only imagine the turkish pitcher...

New world ranking is out (http://fih.ch/rankings/outdoor/ ), some big changes: -Belgium climbs 4 places to reach 9th. -Canada climbs 3 places to reach 18th. -Chile surpassed South Africa in 15th place (and, in theory, kicks them out of pot 3 of the seeding. Only the continental championships to go before we get the final seeding for the play-off draw. Belgium is now in pot 2 of the seeding and will likely remain there (which would be a relief for Spain, Ireland and India given the high level of the belgian team in the recent women's pro league). IMO the biggest battle will be at the pan american games, with Chile trying to hold their 2nd place in the continent in order to keep those vital points of advantage over South Africa in the ranking (naturally, I'm assuming here that Argentina will win the competition and that South Africa will win and then refuse the quota from their continent). Beware of Canada however, a 2nd place at the pan am games could also see them climb to 15th. 15th place is important because it's likely going to be the cut for pot 3 of the play-off seeding. If you're in pot 4 you'll likely get to play one of GB, Germany or New Zealand, which would be too tough a task for these teams I think.

New world ranking is out (http://fih.ch/rankings/outdoor/ ), some big changes: -Pakistan fell to 17 and China to 18 (with this they both would in theory drop to the lowest pot for the play-off seeding). -England is now 6th surpassing Germany. -France and South Africa climb to 13 and 14 (with this they both climb to pot 3 for the play-off seeding). Only the continental championships to go before we get the final seeding for the play-off draw. IMO the only big battle that could decide a major change in this ranking is between England and Germany (they are very few points apart). 6th place is important cuz it's the position that could be the cut for pot 1 in the play-offs (assuming Argentina and Australia do they work in their continental). Pakistan's dropout from pro league has costed them vital points. Maybe an olympic play-off with India looming on the horizon...

I noticed there also isn't any serbia post in the previous thread, don't be shy. I'll try: Water polo M Volleyball W (men outside chance) Djokovic Basketball M (women outside chance) Basketball 3x3 M Kayak K2-1000 & K1-200 men, K1-200, K1-500 & K2-500 women Judo Men -90 Wrestling (Stefanek, Nemes, Kajala) TKD women -49, +67 Karate kumite women -61 Shooting pistol 10m men, women, mixed Athletics women long jump I don't know if I missed anything (maybe rowing?). Serbia should really win at least 10 with this chances, most of them are pretty solid.

0 to 5. No one is certain of a medal but the following are currently ranked top 5 in their respective sports/events: Hockey M & W, Judo W -48, Sailing Nacra, Swimming W 1500FR. There is also outside chances in the following: Rugby 7 M, Shooting skeet M, Sailing Finn, Taekwondo M -58. I would include Del Potro here but he got injured again (I'm sure he will make another glorious comeback though).

They also have a pretty good 4×100 I think. I meant "crazy good" more on a pan american level (given the proximity of the games) rather than olympic/world medal level.

It's amazing how much this dude has progressed, he wasn't particularly great before Rio, now he's throwing top ten all-time distances. Brazil athletics in general has gotten crazy good these last two years.

26-0 qualified.

Exactly two hours from now.

35-0 over Chile. Only Brazil remaining and we're there.

A run? What is this, baseball?

Semifinals set: Brazil - Paraguay Argentina - Chile Starting in around 2hs, there is stream in Facebook as stated before but also on YouTube if you search the chile rugby channel.

Brazil defeated both Uruguay and Chile and surprisingly secured 1st place in their group. I wasn't expecting Chile to drop this game at home, in my opinion they even had a chance to beat our team in the final... seems not.

Uruguay out lol The level of this tournament is terrible. Only 2 goals between all quarterfinals.

Really disappointing to finish in 4th after winning all those games before. Worse if you blow two PSO. The dutch didn't even play as usual in this final streak of matches and still won again.

Yes, it is known that gringos need 3 months of meditation in Tibet before they compete in a world championship of any kind that's why they don't bother coming here to compete with other world/olympic medalists of latin american countries.

All the absent brazilians are due to injury or retirement I think. What's the reason given by Canada?

Unlikely? Literally was an overtime away from happening with Germany last year.

Nah, he's 52 in ranking. He can easily qualify without this. Probably they gave him a big paycheck to show up.

Ok fuck, guess we're not winning golds in tennis this time.

She blocks the trajectory of the cross which wasn't going in direction to her body. It's a penalty.
