Non so che senso abbia ringiovanire radicalmente una squadra femminile di pallanuoto piuttosto giovane, ringiovanita nel 2022? Il risultato è che stiamo giocando due o tre livelli peggiori di quanto non facessimo di recente e rischiamo di perdere le prime otto ai Campionati del Mondo (il che, con l'assenza di Russia e Canada, sarebbe una vergogna). Avremmo dovuto rimanere con la squadra che ha giocato a Parigi e ha vinto il bronzo ai Campionati del Mondo del 2023. Quello era comunque il nostro livello massimo, e non otterremo nulla di più. Che senso ha demolire tutto solo per raggiungere magari lo stesso livello tra due o tre anni? La conclusione generale è che non vediamo alcuna prospettiva di ripetuti i successi di 20-30 anni fa. La scuola italiana è rimasta molto indietro. Il gioco ora è molto fisico (ogni cambio di regolamento non fa che aumentare questo ritardo) e le nostre ragazze sono troppo deboli fisicamente per competere con Stati Uniti, Paesi Bassi o Australia. Se questo non cambia, nessun cambiamento nella rosa ci aiuterà. È come avere pallavoliste alte 170-180 cm. Una squadra del genere può essere tecnicamente valida, ma non raggiungerà mai il successo. Pertanto, la strategia per il reclutamento delle giocatrici per la pallanuoto dovrebbe cambiare. La Spagna era molto più debole di noi, e ora è campionessa olimpica. Perché rinunciamo a un altro sport di squadra femminile? Una squadra di pallavolo, in cui siamo una potenza, è un po' troppo poco per un Paese come l'Italia. Cosa ne pensi?

Italy, for a country that was the cradle of European women's football, is in a very poor position: 30 years ago on the Euro were just us, Germany and Norway but now, of course, Spain and France have escaped. We no longer know how to develop the great talents in this sport, whether women or men.

Portugal has recently been relegated from the Nations League - they were weaker than Belgium: 0-3 at home. I thought that if we won against Belgium, it would be easier against Portugal. Unfortunately we don't have enough talent in our team - apart from maybe one Girelli. It's a similar problem as in our men's team, that we simply don't have new and great talents and our teams are average. The women's team is at least fighting and trying, which is rare among the men team on the last time.

I don't see any progress from this Italian team. It's been the same for years at major events, apart from the 2019 World Cup. Single matches in the Nations League and wins against Spain and Holland won't change that. A classy team should dominate Portugal and win confidently but we defended dramatically after scoring a first goal.

I`m very disappointed with the Italians' performance in these European Championships. Not advancing from such a weak group will be a shame. It is clear that the team is out of shape and this is another terrible tournament for us. During the LN we play well and regularly qualify for the top 8 in Europe but in big tournaments the team is paralyzed with fear. For now we have +6 goals over Portugal, but we still have a match with Spain ahead of us. Portugal plays with Belgium, who were eliminated from the tournament today. We have to count on Spain - certain of promotion - not being fight on 100%. In any case, I`m terrified by how far we are from Spain, France, or Germany...

Paolini is also out. Unfortunately is`t a terrible season for her in the Grand Slams. Of course she is not a player for big victories, but she has never reached the quarter-finals in this year. Unfortunately, she will soon fall out of the top 10 WTA and it will be deserved. The image of Italian women's tennis is tragic and only Paolini, who was great last year + her doubles with Errani darkened this image. And this image is terrifying: the next Italian in the ranking is in 66th place, while the rest are outside the top 100. If Paolini weakens soon (which is certain), it will probably be the worst time in last 2-3 decades.

La crisi del nostro ciclismo su strada non ha fine... 20 anni fa avevamo 4 squadre nel Pro Tour (attuale World Tour), quindi non c'è da stupirsi. Le donne non sono molto meglio e ci mancano molte cicliste perse, ad esempio Cavalli, Persico ecc. A mio parere senza almeno una squadra forte nel World Tour, sia le donne che gli uomini il futuro sara molto nero: la Spagna ha almeno una squadra di punto: Movistar e noi non abbiamo niente

In placing table Ukraine is`t a little higher. https://live.european-athletics.com/madrid-d1-2025/placing

For me he will be remembered mainly for being Penneta's boyfriend...

Putintseva is probably the least popular player on the tour?

Il resultato minimo sarebbe 1/4?

Without injury Patta would have been in the top 3 in the 100 meters, so we would have only 1 worse place - 15th.

The basic Italian team is losing to Brazil's reserves, and a few days ago they struggled with Poland C. The Italians' terrible form + a very difficult schedule + on top of that a match with the USA at their end. With the current form it will be difficult to win anything this season. With de Giorgi we have a downfall in every subsequent season, despite being the only team from the top to play in the basic line-up.

But luckily they lost a lot of points in first 2 days. btw., I expect Iapichino to be very close to Mihambo.

If tomorrow there are no big mistakes, we should win quite safely against Germany - by about 20 points. We have a small number od 1 places - only 1, but a lot of 3/4 places and that works in our favor + only 1 big slip-up in the 100 meters yesterday.

Che peccato Oggi era quel giorno. Domenica non c'è alcuna chance contro la Francia

And who will start? Nicolo and Cerasuolo? In my opinion, they should include him in this 2 and let them eliminate each other in the heats. It's the post-Olympic season, so it doesn't matter. If Viberti starts in the 100 meters anyway, that's the best way. Especially since Cerasuolo, in my opinion, can't afford a result like Viberti's today.

Cosa significano tutte queste informazioni/nomi per il nostro sport?

Peccato per Garbin...

De Giorgi now has practically the best possible squad + Rychlicki (or Russo can join because he trains in Italy). From this year on, there should be no more excuses but for now it looks bad. Previously, this team played without pressure, because it was young, but now it's different. To win a World Championship medal, we will have to beat France in 1/4...

The stupidity of these people in the federation has no end If the same squad that recently lost badly at the World Champ. to Great Britain goes, then good luck It will be a bigger embarrassment than in 2006.

Most of them are not young players like Szalpuk, Semeniuk etc. Another thing is that the Italians played terribly today and this first team recently struggled against Canada in friendly matches.

In teoria la Spagna è la più debole delle Big 3: Francia, Belgio, Spagna. Questo secondo le quote dei bookmaker.

We finally have some success in women sports team outside of volleyball and sometimes water polo

Ora il Belgio probabilmente quindi sara dura?
