    Olympic biathlon in Antholz!

    I feel this would have been more likely had the Calgary bid survived.

    I’d be surprised if the France - Brazil match ended with 22 players on the field. It’s rough out there.
  4. NearPup
    I don’t think you quite understand how good that is for Brazil xD This is really no different than having a Brazilian ref a Portugal / England game or whatever.

    ...how the heck is Mongolia the second seed?

    I really like that their cross country venue is urban. Would provide for a great atmosphere.

    I feel like I'm the only person here who would be pretty happy with either bid winning (either will be an improvement over Beijing IMO). Both bids have pretty big weaknesses, but I feel like they also both have some pretty big strengths too. If it wasn't for the venues for Alpine Skiing and the sliding sports I would be all in behind the Stockholm bid. But hosting the sliding sports in another country is just really weird and Milan's Alpine Skiing venues are way, way better than Åre. I'm honestly really torn on which bid I prefer.

    This might be a stupid question, but do performances in combined events count for Olympic qualification in the individual event?
  9. NearPup
    Félix Auger-Aliassime is already the GOAT when it comes to playing against Stefanos Tsitsipas xD

    If France and Romania draw they are both qualified for the Olympics. Who is the genius that thought that having three groups and only letting four teams make the knockout stage was a good idea? At least you can’t accuse UEFA of sexism, their men’s Olympic qualification system is as terrible as their women’s.

    I may only be an ignorant Canadian, but I did read the laws of the game cover to cover and I do not recall a section about style points.
  12. NearPup
    I was being sarcastic. Qualification for women's European football teams is set up in a really terrible manner.
  13. NearPup
    Isn’t the Olympic qualification system for European teams just perfectly fair?
  14. NearPup
    Argentina will advance if Cameroon - New Zealand and Chile - Thailand both end in draws.
  15. NearPup
    About that :P

    Good to hear, this Italian team deserves the attention. They have been the surprise of the tournament for sure.
  17. NearPup
    Thanks, but I’m not quite new ^^

    Very excited for the table tennis competition.

    First time Canada has ever defeated Hungary in Water Polo. So pretty huge for the Canadian program, despite this not being the Hungarian A team.

    Goes to the world ranking. Same thing happens if Scotland or Wales finishes in the top 2, btw.
  21. NearPup
    Getting matches. The tournament isn’t purely an Olympic qualifier, it’s also used as an opportunity for the national teams to play and gain ranking points.

    They are cracking down on this particular rule since June (and they so changed the rule related to when a penalty kick is to be retaken). It had to be pretty obvious before VAR, though.
  23. NearPup
    Unused continental games individual quotas are re-allocated until they reach the 4th place finisher. So has both the men’s and women’s Asian games quota.
  24. NearPup
    This is almost the same call they made in the Spain match against South Africa. If that was a penalty then the ref clearly made the right call this time.
  25. NearPup
    It isn’t suspended by rain, it’s suspended due to lightning in the area. Lightning is a minimum 50 minute delay (play won’t resume until there hasn’t been lightning for 30 minutes, and then teams get 20 minutes to warm up).
