Yeah we can get a lot of crazy draw scenarios. One thing that crossed my mind is FIFA didn't explicitly say they will take the remaining balls into account when drawing. So we could have a situation where the last ball in Pot 4 is Ecuador, but Group H has Argentina. Obviously they will switch them with the Pot 4 team in Group G (assuming there isn't another South American team in it), but it will be funny to see them place a team in one group, but being forced to switch them because they didn't have the foresight to place them in the correct group.

Not exactly, because we won't know the winners of the inter-continental match, the CONCACAF/OFC spot will be considered to be from both continents (same for AFC/CONMEBOL), but you can switch New Zealand for an African nation and you'll get the same result...

Yeah, getting Canada in your group means you can't get Mexico/United States from Pot 2.

Here's Canoe Slalom (in Spanish) Basically the 2023 Pan American Championships will decide the quotas.

Yeah, we could end of with something like

I think you are right, Iran needs MKD > POR, POL > SWE and EGY > SEN to make it to Pot 2. Perhaps they'll get lucky and get USA/Mexico. Going on the other extreme, we could get a Brazil/Germany/Iran/Wales group of death

That's a bit of a shame, depending on how the next two days go, Iran could be in Pot 2 and depending on the draw, could have their best chance ever at reaching the elimination round.

has a new flag (or are reusing their old flag). However, some sport federations are still using the old one (actually I'm not sure if any of them are using the current flag).

Assuming they are going with their original plan, the World Cups won't offer any direct quotas. It'll be the 2022 and 2023 World Championships, the continental qualifiers and I think the World Rankings (not 100% on that one).

I know basketball players are tall, but are 9m ceilings really too low? Ventilation is a bigger issue, but could be solved with renovations. Though it would probably be cheaper to find a new place...

In men's football they can't compete at the Olympics due to the disagreements between the federations. Also if anything the four nations have less of a chance in qualifying due to diluting their players. It would be if the individual provinces of Algeria decide to qualify their own team. Sure there's more of them, but they would all be weaker.

Canada lost 1-0 to Costa Rica so we'll have to wait until at least Sunday before we can qualify. This does make Canada's quest in getting to Pot 3 a bit harder, I think we needed to win all 3 of our matches to make it without needing results to go our way.

I mean you are already pushing half with 13/32 teams. The issue is the European qualifying format benefits the stronger teams where weaker teams need to rely on the top teams having a bad day on the right day.

I mean, China was also minimizing their international presence before Tokyo too, they were only competing in events which were either direct qualifiers or until they had enough points to guarantee a spot via rankings.

East Asian countries take Covid very seriously, plus it doesn't help that there's a huge outbreak in China

There's a good chance that Spain will be the preferred bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics which will make it difficult to award them the 2036 Summer Olympics. If not, then I suspect Canada will win the 2030 bid so they would be out for 2036. I don't think the IOC is dumb enough to award Germany the 2036 Olympics, the connection to 1936 would create a media frenzy. I do think a nation from Europe will be the next host. From what I hear, Great Britain and Italy seem to show the most interest and I feel they are just far enough from last hosting the Summer/Winter games to be at least considered. As for other nations coming out of nowhere, Russia is a non-starter for obvious reasons and Ukraine is pre-occupied right now, it's too soon for France so that leaves us with the Netherlands, Hungary or Poland if one of them has the will to put up a serious bid. Turkey is always interested in hosting, but I don't think the IOC will pick them unless none of the big nation decide to submit a bid. Outside of Europe, China would probably be the favourite, South Korea could make a decent case if they really wanted to while Egypt will bring the 1st games in Africa vibe.
