I just finished my first listening and 18 songs have made my first cut. I really liked some of them and the 12 points aren't clear yet, so I will have my second listening in a couple days to start ranking them.

Yes, and Brazil also has a very good squad , with some elite club players. It's just they have been poorly managed last 2 years.
As I said BRA & ARG will probably be in the same group and that group will be tough.
I think that the group with Japan and Bahrein is going to be way easier than the other, so I hope that Spain is in the same group that the Asian teams.

I would not be so sure about the 7 European teams + Egypt in the QF. Argentina has a very decent team and I wouldn't be so surprised if they managed to win at least one game against Europeans,

SPANISH ENTRY
Sinsinati - Cuando éramos dos
Lyrics:
SpoilerAhora quieres vengar, la muerte de tu escote
Ese me llamarás, no saldrás de tu coche
Durmiendo en el portal, fumando pasas las noches
Tonteas con facilidad, para salir a flote
Septiembre no está tan mal, si recuerdas su roce
La luna no sale a bailar, con un sol que sea pobre
Tengamos un descuido que sea divertido
Mañana me paso a las 12
Quiero recorrer tu piel hasta perder el norte
Dame los besos que cubran la ausencia de mi colchón
Se han olvidado, se han oxidado, las tardes de nuestra pasión
No me digas que vuelves de nuevo, que ya vas en Ron
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
Ahora quieres salvar tu espíritu noble
Maquillas con facilidad para que no se note
Tengamos un descuido que sea divertido
Mañana me paso a las 12Quiero recorrer tu piel hasta perder el norte
Dame los besos que cubran la ausencia de mi colchón
Se han olvidado, se han oxidado, las tardes de nuestra pasión
No me digas que vuelves de nuevo, que ya vas en Ron
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
Y si escuchas mi voz, de lejos al despertar
Entiende que el tiempo te cura y te olvida
Te coge y te suelta, de su don en la vida pero en realidad
Dame los besos que cubran la ausencia de mi colchón
Se han olvidado, se han oxidado, las tardes de nuestra pasión
No me digas que vuelves de nuevo que ya vas en ron
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dos
La manera de vernos sin miedo cuando éramos dosThe English translation of the lyrics can be found here.

Yeah, you are right, the road to the Final is either equally hard or easier for the 2nd team. I hope this means that the Hungarians and the Spanish will agree to have a nice, calm friendly match, we both need some rest.
There are no incentives to win the game and some of the best players on our team are quite old, so I hope we will have a calm match too.
-
It is going to be very fun to follow this tournament with Spain already qualified. I think that Hungary and the Netherlands will take the 2 spots, but Italy and Greece might surprise them.

There are still 1 GP and 4 WC to go for Fencing, as team qualification as individual.
The tournaments will be defined by FIE in a date from TBD to April 5th.
Also, there are 4 zonal qualifying events remaining. Only Asian confederation has updated a date on its calendar. April 15th to 16th in Seoul,
The European event will be in Madrid
(April 17th to 18th), already confirmed by our national federation.
I am not 100% sure of this, but I read that the African event will take place in Cairo
on April 15th.

- Sportsman: Rafa Nadal (Tennis). It has not been his best season, but he won Roland Garros again, and this year that's enough to be considered the best athlete of the year in Spain.
- Sportswoman: Sandra Sánchez (Karate). I was not sure who to nominate for this category, but if I am not mistaken, Sandra has won all the competitions she has participated this year.
- Team of the year: Men Handball. They won the Europan Championship in January and qualified for the Olympics.
Carolina Marín (badminton), Mavi García and Albert Torres/Sebastián Mora (cycling), Jon Rahm (golf), Orlando Ortega (athletics), Nikoloz Sherazadishvili (judo), Carlos Llavador (fencing), Gabriel Escobar or José Quiles (boxing) also had some good results this good year.

In the case of Spain, the number of songs released has not changed much with respect to 2019, but I am ok with extending the eligibility period a few months if this helps some users.
Question 1 - A
Question 2 - B

“Serbia is the most generous nation with Spanish songs (27 points), followed by Italy (19), Ireland (16)“
Checks to see what Ireland received in return....
It is funny because Ireland has been my first reserve twice (in both cases the song was ranked in my top12 at some point of the decision process but it fell a few places in the last listening) and 3rd or 4th reserve the other time, so I would say that is quite likely that Ireland will get some points from Spain in 2021. At least I voted for Costa Rica in the special edition.
-
I updated the Spanish statistics combining the last 3 editions.
There are 4 countries that have always received points from Spain: Portugal, Canada, Italy and India. The country with the most points given is Portugal (29), followed by Canada (22), Italy (22), Romania (21) and France (20). 23 countries have received points from Spain at least once.
On the other hand, Spain has received points from 27 different countries. Serbia is the most generous nation with Spanish songs (27 points), followed by Italy (19), Ireland (16), Portugal (16) and Germany (14). Furthermore, Serbia and France are the only 2 nations giving points to Spain in the last 3 contests.

Congratulations to the three medal winners!
For Spain, this has been one of the worst results with only 44 points, so the next year I will be back to pop music with the song that I initially thought to enter this year.
P.S. It is very nice to see Portugal in the top20 with a song in Mirandés.

The first jury i see is Spain......and a silver medal, many thanks!! @Cobi, si que has flipado con nuestra canción.
Ya conocía la canción de antes. Hace un par de años Enanitos Verdes hizo una colaboración con un grupo de rock español (Hombres G) versionando esta canción y la he escuchado bastantes veces. Estuvo muy muy cerca de llevarse los 12 puntos.
I had already listened to that song. A couple of years ago, Enanitos Verdes made a collab with a Spanish rock band (Hombres G) singing Lamento Boliviano and I really liked it. It was very close to get my 12 points.

Or Egypt? Should have the same target audience as Portugal?
They made the first cut but it was not enough to score. I think they finished as my 5th reserve after Ireland, Germany, UK and China.

Table Tennis ITTF World Olympic Games Qualifier 2021
in Table Tennis

María Xiao was born in Barcelona and has lived her whole life between Spain and Portugal, so she is 100% Spaniard. We also have a junior girl called Sofía Xuan-Zhang who was born in Cartagena (Murcia), so writing a comment like that based exclusively in the surname of the girl without knowing her story is kind of disrespectful...
It is true that we have had a few Chinese players representing Spain in the last decade (Yanfei Shen or He Zhiwen who played in London and Rio and arrived to Spain because they were paid by the clubs and the federation made them an offer to join the national team), but right now all of our players have been born and/or raised in Spain.
