Darius Thompson is still waiting for his passport and, as I understand it, he might also be called up (I don't know what the status is with Donte naturalization or whether he's using quota or not).

For many years. Since Marconato and Chiacig left

Lately, he seems to be sticking closer to Meloni. Berlusconi and Orban are completely different generations, though and I think it was more of a mentoring relationship.

The premise may have been right, but the execution was terrible, although of course it wasn't all his fault.

I recently watched games of those European Championships. Surprisingly, there was no Olympic medal in 2000, but only unexpectedly in 2004 without Myers and Fucki – two stars from 1999. In my opinion the 2004 squad was weaker than both the 1999/2000 and 2015/2016 squads, but it was the 2004 squad that won the Olympic medal (It was almost as if there were no Italians in Athens at all - Eurobasket 2003 started badly for us- then only the 3 best teams qualified for the Olympics).

The lineup is so-so, but certainly not as potent as in 2015. Italy last played in the Eurobasket semifinals in 2003.

He was not called up last year.

I feel sorry for Sweden. They had a great group stage and were in complete control of the match until the 80th minute and then conceded two quick goals. The penalty shootout was also terrible.

I remember he played in the 2022 World Champ. and everything was fine. Maybe he has a conflict with coach Lozano?

We have a lot of good players in his position: Michieletto, Lavia, Porro, Bottolo, Rinaldi. Ukraine is already 90% in the F8, becouse they now have two weaker opponents: Serbia and Canada.

Plus the notorious escapes of their best players from the country - for example, Leon played against them today but previously also Juantorena, Leal, etc.

Cuba was one of our great rivals in the 1990s, along with the Netherlands. The last time they were strong was in 2010 at the World Champ.

Ieri c'è stata una grande festa dopo il gol del 2-1 contro la Norvegia. È anche chiaro che la Rai sta promuovendo il calcio femminile più del basket o della pallanuoto. A mio parere, dovremmo essere forti in questi quattro sport principali: calcio, basket, pallavolo e pallanuoto. Anche Francia e Spagna hanno la pallamano, ma sono più deboli nella pallanuoto (Francia) e volley (Spagna). Mi piacerebbe vedere medaglie vinte regolarmente in almeno due di queste discipline: pallavolo e pallanuoto.

Quest'anno ci sono stati buoni risultati nel basket e nel calcio femminile, ma finora non sono stati all'altezza delle medaglie ottenute nei principali eventi mondiali. La pallanuoto ha ottenuto risultati simili di recente, quindi è un peccato che i risultati siano così negativi quest'anno.

Quali sono i problemi della pallanuoto femminile in Italia? Troppo poche atlete? È chiaro che più ragazze con una migliore condizione fisica sarebbero utili...

Ai Mondiali nel 2023 ha vinto una medaglia di bronzo e nel 2022 si è classificato al 4° posto. Rispetto al 2021, è andata molto meglio, ma è chiaro che questa non era e non è una squadra in grado di vincere grandi eventi come anni fa. Ora dopo il nostro ringiovanimento, abbiamo battuto di misura la Cina e non abbiamo alcuna possibilità contro Australia e Ungheria. Due o tre anni fa, a qualche volta le battevamo.

This will be a rival for Italy in the 1/2.

We already have Rychlicki, so it would take too long :P I think Plotnyski will return once he sees that Ukraine has great potential and he's too good to pass up. Maradona also caused a lot of trouble, but he always came back, because it was beneficial for both sides. It's similar here. Yanchuk and Plotnyski will be a huge force on the wings. Is there a possibility that he will return to the World Champ?

Only 2 people from Italy signed it list in this 1 is Samele, who is in a relationship with Kharlan. A bit sad. I also don`t see names from countries such as Japan, China, Korea, Iran, etc., and now it`s Asia + Russia that has the most to influence in fencing which is visible in the way of referee. Europe no longer dominates as it once did.

If Plotnyski returns Ukraine will be a strong opponent for anyone. I haven't been happy with Italy's performance since last year – we didn't win a single medal last year. If it's similar this year, it means de Giorgi should leave. But we'll see, maybe peak of the form will be for the Nations League finals and World Championship. So far we looks very weak, although our squad is the best it can be+ Rychlicki joined this year.

For me he's a Hungarian Berlusconi, only Hungary is smaller and it's easier to have a media monopoly. Thanks to his private media, Berlusconi stayed in politics for over 20 years, despite being inept and the economy collapsing during that time.

Politicians like Orban and Fico simply don`t help their countries and perhaps because Orban has been in power for a very long time, the effect is worse.

Of all its neighbors, Poland was probably the one who helped the most: they provided not only aid, but also their weapons + they accepted millions of refugees.
