    i remember 96 so well.... was always a big supporter of the Argentinian football team, and that final against nigeria..... ouch that hurt me for years later

    i thought like every olympics that you will win football, even without messi, until the problems started

    Agreed but no way the clubs will agree, not with the european championships the same year, world cup 2 years before, and you have the copa right around there as well, players will simply not have any breaks and thats the biggest issue. they have to seriously restructure the whole calendar and have the olympics as the only tournament of that year, doubt that it will ever happen

    just like the world cup in their home in 1950 and 2014 huh ?

    dont think we will send a team on a moment's notice, anyway they lost , probably Uruguay would be the correct choice
  7. AmericanHero40
    What happens if they withdraw? Someone replaces them or since its so close there will.be only 15 teams in the tournament

    Delila Hatuel got the quota, however she didnt make the israeli criteria, she had to make final 32 in the european championships or top 16 in an fie world cup competition. She didnt, it's a huge deal, social media trying to convince the Israeli Olympic Committee to let her go however they are refusing. This morning i heard interview with the head of the Israeli Olympic Committee Gili Lustig and he reiterated that since she didnt make the Israeli Criteria she will not be allowed to compete in Rio and the quota will be rejected

    Who takes over the rejected quota from israel

    Often athletes come to trials and dont work too hard because there aren't too many people that can prevent them from going to the games. in USA case.... it's the opposite, the athletes work so hard to get through the trials and reach their peak about a month too early. Kovacs is fine, i saw him in the prefontaine classic last month and he was really good

    hmm.... wiki says the same thing but all over twitter they put his name....

    USA have such a deep pool of talent in Swimming and Athletics (well or basketball LOL) that unless your name is Michael Phelps , Katie Ledecky or Ashton Eaton your place in the olympics is never guaranteed, all it takes is one bad performance in the trials, or bad year like Franklin or Lochte and you are out. BTW Joe Kovacs is the world champion in shot put, also the Diamond League Leader but he didn't have a good performance in the trials

    However. He says he will try to compete on the 22nd and they might give him the place then. Isnt rio deadline on the 18th? Are they going to name him and have 2 people in 100 and 200 if he cant go?
