  1. In my opinion, even reaching the quarterfinals won't be a great success. In the last four editions, we finished in the 5th-8th place. Another defeat in the quarterfinals will only confirm our solid performance, but nothing more. Our last European Championship medal was in 2003: bronze. It would be a dream to finally win a medal, but the competition is big and we're at a stage where, on paper, we don't have a medal-level team. The women's NT team managed to win a medal at the European Championships this summer after a 30-year waiting (1995-2025), so the men still have a few more editions to do the same. Looking at our youth results and our current young roster+ Donte, we can definitely be among the top teams in Europe in a few years. Our young players need to play extensively in Italy and then travel to the NBA or the EuroLeague clubs: Milano, Bologna, or some other European clubs. Another problem for us is that we've never had a truly superstar in the NBA, because Gallinari, Belinelli, or Bargnani were by no means at the level of Nowitzki, Giannis, Jokic, or Doncic. Donte diVincenzo won't be a star either: he's more of a solid NBA player, that`s all . I was very disappointed with Banchero, as I was hoping he'd play for us, but judging by his behavior, he probably wouldn't have been motivated to play for Italy, enough even if the USA hadn't called him up.
  2. Unfortunately, France is still realistic options for us in the Round of 16 and that would be a nightmare for us... Slovenia with Doncic will also be dangerous, but of course, they're in a much weaker team actually, than France. We have to root for Spain vs Greece and beat Cyprus ourselves: then we will be at first place in the group and probably will play vs Israel in the Round of 16. It's definitely better to play Israel than France...
  3. Sinner is closed and cold people, but that usually helps him. Federer also hasn't exactly shown much emotion on the court either. They both come from similar parts of Europe, from mountainous regions, so that's not surprising. Djokovic, is from the Balkans, is very impulsive, but he's also unlikely to celebrate embarrassing defeats like Bublik.
  4. In my opinion, after such a defeat, even at the age of 17-18 Sinner, for example, would have been very angry, he would have quickly shaken hands and left the court, instead of celebrating his defeat, like Bublik.
  5. Bublik it`s so funny man but unfortunettly he isn`t a mentality of great champion... Yesterday, from the second set on, he behaved like a circus clown, not a serious tennis player and he was celebrating after winning only three games in 3 sets... It's hard to take someone like that seriously. It was a match between a cold professional: Sinner and a joyful child – Bublik, who made silly faces, jumped, laughed, talked to himself, etc.
  6. It depends on whether a stop the fight in teory, like the one in Donbas from 2015 to 2022 is considered the stop of the war, stop the fight, or what?(the peace terms were violated back then, too). In the case of Russia, they are no longer a major force in biathlon. Their return could more likely lead to changes in the top ranks of cross-country skiing, for example, if Bolshunov returns in good form. Overall, I have the impression that Trump will want Russia to return under it`s flag for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. It will be a major propaganda success for him if a stop fight will happens. Perhaps Trump is hoping for a Nobel Peace Prize in the future.
  7. How many medals can this do? 2-3?
  8. Very good effectiveness: 2 medals of 10 people.
  9. Victoria Rava was good and French women`s team with her was good in period 2007-2008.
  10. Oh, good. Zverev it`s a lost man
  11. Spero che la maggior parte dei finanziamenti di quest'anno vada agli sport invernali e che ci siano molte medaglie a Cortina 2026. Gli sport estivi rientrano nell'anno post-olimpico, quindi se così fosse, non mi dispiacerebbe. Ma naturalmente la situazione in alcune federazione sportive, come la FPI, sono molto preoccupante.
  12. Il problema sembra più profondo: Testa, Carini e Abbes, i nostri migliori pugili, sono stati eliminati tutti contemporaneamente. Ma che davero siamo abbastanza forti nel pugilato dilettantistico da rinunciare alle nostre tre stelle più grandi? Ai Campionati del Mondo, sembra che solo Lenzi possa vincere una medaglia, e non abbiamo nemmeno inviato una squadra femminile completa nelle categorie olimpiche. Per me c'è qualcosa che non va e non sembra che questa è una situazione normale Questo è uno sport che ci ha portato molte medaglie per noi alle Olimpiadi all'inizio del XXI secolo, e sembrava anche che il settore femminile stesse facendo grandi progressi grazie al Testa nel recenti anni. Da Parigi 2024, purtroppo tutto è andato in pezzi Se avete informazioni su quanto sta accadendo, scrivetemi pure, perché io mi baso solo su internet e sui social media.
  13. Pozzecco it`s a clown
  14. Pozzecco e un idiota. Secondo me, sarebbe meglio se il suo vice prende in mano la squadra in modo permanente: porterebbe calma e stabilità, non drammi, discussioni e falli tecnici.
  15. Maybe 15? years is too long? It`s your decision.
  16. Different times. In 2015, the EU's policy was different and now it's different. Orban was probably the only one who correctly diagnosed this problem a dozen or so years ago, although I don't know if he didn't need it more for domestic purposes. Secondly, just seven or eight years ago, Salvini was also attacked by the EU for not allowing immigrants into Italian ports on the Mediterranean Sea. Only the war in 2022 will change everything....
  17. Ho scritto di canoe- sprint.
  18. Testa e Carini? Secondo me, Abbes avrebbe più possibilità di vincere una medaglia oggi rispetto a Lenzi, che è semplicemente un mediocre.
  19. Nice girl.
  20. Ma questo non puoi vederlo negli sport per adulti. La boxe è in declino, il kayak non fa progressi e il canottaggio, senza i pesi leggeri potrebbe addirittura farci vincere sola una medaglia... Non vedo alcuna possibilità di vincere più di 40 medaglie nelle gare olimpiche oggi.
  21. Nessuna possibilità di vincere medaglie, e non capisco perché non mandiamo atlete in tre categorie olimpiche nel donne? Qualcuno può spiegarmi cosa sta succedendo nel FIP?
  22. Perché non ci sono Testa, Carini o Abbes? Stiamo già rinunciando a questo sport, e tutto per colpa di un nuovo allenatore che è in conflicto con le stelle? Nelle gare femminili, mandiamo solo quattro gare olimpiche? A Parigi le cose sono andate male, ma almeno ci sono state molte qualificazioni e Testa e Abbes hanno vinto qualche medaglia ai Campionati del Mondo. Mi sembra che questo sport sia in declino in Italia, e queste convocazioni lo dimostrano. Nessuno ha la possibilità di vincere medaglie, e mandiamo una squadra piccola. https://www.oasport.it/2025/08/boxe-i-convocati-dellitalia-per-i-mondiali-lenzi-guida-gli-azzurri-a-liverpool/
  23. Non conosco la situazione, ma ho già scritto che, a mio parere, Pilato ha sprecato il suo grande talento. Questa e altre situazioni non fanno che confermarlo. Anche la Pellegrini ha avuto la sua dose di eccentricità: storie d`amore, drammi con Marin, Magnini, Manadou etc., ma questo non le ha impedito di fare una grande carriera. Pilato, come potete vedere, purtroppe si
  24. Italy of course lost to Greece. We will wait for another medal in 100 years (last w won in... 2003).
