I guess, Fistball is only played in parts of South America with a high number of German emigrants. The former world championship hosts Novo Hamburgo, Llanquihue and Villa General Belgrano are certainly some of the most "German" cities in South America and the Brazilian squad for example has a lot of names where you can easiliy recognize the German descent.
 

Zabel only won one stage more than Sagan and two less than Kittel, so he doesn't even have the German record. I think Sagan and Zabel are both kind of similar. They were never the fastest Sprinters, but both were better in the mountains than their opponents, so they won the green jerseys because they won more points in the hilly stages or because their opponents did not finish (e.g. Cipollini).

He is tied with Erik Zabel now for most 2nd places.

What a dive.....The penalty was ok, but I really wish you can give yellow cards for diving, even when you are fouled.

From the Moscow 7s: France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain & England. The other two teams will be decided tomorrow.

No,it's unfair as hell.
Netherlands will play against Japan in the 2nd round. If they lose, they only played against non-European teams with the result: no Olympic ticket.
There should be a seperate tournament with the European countries to decide the Olympic tickets.

So should we also then be kind and accept that you chose Caleb Ewan for the second time.
 
Of course I don't know if you want to get +100 points, but if that is your plan, feel free to go with that. 

I liked it at the Vuelta, so I am in. I don´t have so much time currently, but I am trying to finish it.

This competition format is a joke. It is nearly impossible to move up from Group B to Group A. The top 5 will surely remain the same for some time.

I did not in the prediction game, but I bet some money on Qatar advancing.

Haha, this matches my experience from a few days ago when I was taking the bus from Budapest to Kraków. While there was no snow in Budapest or Kraków, everything between (=Slovakia) was totally white.

again and again and again and again....
 
 
 
 

That´s so incrdeibliy sad. He´s like the most famous doper in weightlifting and he shows up at the world championship 2 years after he got busted.

Tomorrow's stage can be one of the deciding stages of the Vuelta..........for this game  

Haha, I just got home without knowing the results and now I`m super exicted about my pick. I really was thinking about this pick for quite some time yesterday.

During the qualifying races, fleets are reassinged on each day. Before the first day a seeding committee decides the fleets, while afterwards it's based on rankings.
 
After six races. field will be divided in gold and silver fleet (top half in gold, bottom half in silver).

Thanks for the prediction game. I`ve watched more water polo in the last two weeks than in my whole life before, even though it probably won`t become my new favourite sport. I have to admit I had absolutely no idea about water polo and in the First round I just randomly guessed based on the results of the last European Championship.

I will.

I will.
