I would say it isn't that weird because songs from the 1950/60s don't do as well in TISC as more recent songs from the 1990s or the 2000s.

Regarding the 2030 World Cup, Spain and Portugal have been "forced" by UEFA to add Ukraine to the project, so I guess that at this point they will push to the end.

voted! As usual, it was tough to rank from 9th to 15th place. Maybe if I had sent my votes yesterday or tomorrow the reserves could have gotten a couple of points instead of the songs I ended up choosing.

I had my first listening on Sunday and today I had the second one. Now I am down to 17 songs and my top2 is safe. The other positions are quite open and will be decided with my 3rd and 4th listening next weekend.

I just realized that Chile's song was released in 2020.

ESPAÑA This is going to be the 14th participation of Spain in TISC and for the first time ever we are going to send a song in English. It is also the oldest song sent by our delegation in an Open edition. I am not the biggest fan of sending a song in a foreign language, but I am going to make an exception with this one because of the context. I can count with my fingers the English songs performed by Spanish singers/band that have become famous in the country. This was the first one, in 1966. In the 1960s, Franco's dictatorship started to show some apertureness to the outside world and British music spread quickly in the big cities. Because of this, young musicians in Madrid and Barcelona joined to form bands copying the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. The fan phenomenon was born in Spain with pop and rock groups like Pekenikes, los Diablos, Fórmula V or Los Bravos. The four bands had hits in the late 1960s, but the biggest one was Black is Black from Los Bravos. I hope you enjoy it! Los Bravos - Black is Black Lyrics:

We also have tunas universitarias in Spain and I think that some LATAM countries also have them, but in each country they sing with their own style.

is in.

The problem of being successful for so many years is that if you do not meet some minimums, both the coach and the president of the federation would be in trouble. At least in football and in basketball, which are the two main sports in the country. In football Spain has never failed to qualify for a World Cup since 1978 and has always been top8 in all the EuroBaskets since 1979. Therefore, reaching these levels is a requirement for all teams. Other big European teams are also using this rule in their favor (Mike Tobey with Slovenia or Joel Embiid with France for the Olympics). And even with Brown, winning a medal is quite unlikely for this team. The main goal of the year was to reach QF/SF and qualify for the 2023 World Cup. Otherwise, it would have been an embarrassment for this sport, specially after failing to qualify for the Women's World Cup.

Medal Table: Gold Silver Bronze 4th place Bad tournament for the Spanish team after the gold medal last month at the World Championship. The situation is reversed with the women's side and Hungary has the edge over Spain.

We won the tournament (again) with more than half of the team being under 22yo including the MVP of the team and the new goalkeeper. Still the team can't compete against the American girls, but at least we have a very high win-rate against Hungary and Greece. Italy and the Netherlands are a little bit tougher for us.

I don't see the problem. It is legal to have a naturalised player in your team and this year all the top playmakers were injured or unavailable due to personal reasons (mainly Ricky Rubio and Sergio Rodríguez), so the only decent choices were to call Juan Núñez, who is only 18 and not very experienced against senior teams or call Lorenzo Brown. Spain has reached the semifinals for 10 editions in a row and the federation wants to keep this record going. There is no much difference between this case and Dorsey, where the only connection is having a parent who lived there for a few years but was fully raised in the US . Furthermore, even with Brown, who is not consistent at all, this Spanish team is quite weak after the retirement of Pau and Marc Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro or Felipe Reyes and also key players Sergio Llull and Ricky Rubio are injured...

Fellow users of Totallympics, I have been quite busy this year and I am not sure if I will be able to participate in the next edition. Therefore, it would be nice if some of you can join the Spanish delegation, especially considering that we have the hosting rights for the 2023 Annual TISC.

won yesterday 7-0 against . Not the most entertaining game to watch. Hopefully we will also beat and to qualify.

Varios deportes celebran estas semanas sus Europeos en Munich (Alemania). En este tema podemos hablar sobre los resultados que se den.

It's great to have the Totallympics International Song Contest at the same time as the Mediterranean Games.

Regarding the Spanish team, we send "A teams" in many sports (shooting, sailing, taekwondo, karate, judo, fencing, boxing, archery, weightlifting...), including the Olympic champions Alberto Fernández and Fátima Gálvez (shooting) and silver medalist Adriana Cerezo (taekwondo). However, we also send very weak and small teams in both athletics and swimming so there is no way we can reach a good position in the medal table.

The football tournament is age restricted so all the teams are U18

Some politicians in Spain are asking to boycott the event after the break-up of relationships between the two countries.

I don't think the hate is from Spanish fandom since Ukraine winning was expected because of the situation. Here the main discussion topics have been: Spanish jury not giving points to Portugal. Italy being the only country not giving a single point to Spain and why RAI called Chanel "discount di Jennifer Lopez". Lausa Pausini being the best presenter ever. The awful result of France after sending a song similar to Tanxugueiras.

We got 12 points from jury for the 1st time ever. That's even better than winning

We lost 44-45 against even though we were 2 up entering the last relay. Because of this we lost the ranking position with them just before the European Championship, which means that we can face in T16. That's a disaster..

Yeah. It's just a coincidence. 50% of the times I have had Ireland as 1st or 2nd reserve for example
