Last friday we had the last stage of Challenger Series. Consequently new surfers for the 2023 season of WCT.
 
Then, I'd like to make an overview about the possibilites for each country
 
Men
 
/  are the favorites for take two quotas each. The other four quotas will be in contender among , Leonardo Fioravanti , Rio Waida , Maxime Huscenot , Ramzi Boukhiam , Kanoa Igarashi , Jordy Smith  and Matthew McGillivray . I am not sure if Carlos Munõz  will receive an invitation, once he got injured this season. 
 
Women
 
Here the things might be interesting.  and /  will take four of eight quotas.
 
But, there are only three surfers for the four quotas left. Brisa Hennessy , Johanne Defay  and Tatiana Weston-Webb . So, on this way, the last quota is going to be reallocated to ISA Games 2024.
 
However, we always have possibilities that a wildcard surfer, or even a replace for someone who got injured, participates in the circuit, conquer enough points to finish in the top 18, and take this place.

I am going to support  at quaterfinals, only because I like @heywoodu

One of them is Messi, right? The other one I think I have already heard but I cant remember

I have not watched much of this World Cup compared to what I usually do. Some thoughts though:
 
1. It really stinks to not have your country there. Many Greeks complained about our team in 2010 (group stage) and 2014 (Round of 16), and always being negative and saying that it would be better to avoid embarrassment and not qualify. Well, I wonder what these 'Greeks' think now, because for me I would rather lose in the group stage every time than not qualify at all. I hope we will be back in 2026 but it will be difficult...
 
2. Qatar is a joke. I don't need to say more about this.
 
3. I hope Switzerland lose as soon as possible. Their radical non-Swiss 'fans' are insufferable. I don't need to say more. Serbians understand me on this 

Exact
 

 
Messi vs  (Hannes Halldorson) and (Wojciech Szczesny)
Asamoah Gyan vs (Petr Čech) and (Fernando Muslera)
 
They are only Two. I swear, I double checked myself

Only in Soccer is possible that Memphis score against USA ...

1994

Brazil has a bye to Quarterfinals...

Imagine , won their group, had a great chance to escape from .... surprise hahaha

Wrong
 

Imagine not advancing from a group with and

I'll be huge supporter of Morocco after this game from Spain. Not the first time I was this revolted with Spanish teams -.-

At least Germany are making progress. Last time they were last in the group, now they are 3rd and in 2026 there will be only 3 teams in a group, so they can't do worse. 

This makes things a lot more interesting now.

Exactly

I did wake up but only managed to see the last Saudi goal

Where is @Griff88? 3 AM in  he should be awaken

Another ridiculous penalty, but that is what Poland asked for, playing this way
