We could discuss, day after day, how the olympics would have lookood like if they were to happen in 2020 as planned. That could be fun, a nice discussion, good for the hard times when there are no live sport on tv and we are all fighting with this virus, It could look like this; Let;s pretend this is day -2, July 22nd What are your predictions for: 1/. SOFTBALL - Women's tournament Australia - Japan Italy - United States Mexico - Canada and a general question considering sotball - do you think playing softball games(opening event for the whole olympics) in Fukushima is a good idea? Is it safe out there after the earthquake and damaged reactor? Would these games be a success to show the world that it is safe and clear over there? 2./ FOOTBALL - Women's tournament The qualifications haven't finished yet. What are your predictions for remaining spots? I say CHINA will qualify with a win over Korea Republic And CHILE will qualify with a win over Cameroon I made a kind of draw for groups using FIFA ranking (and a rule that only one team from the same continental association in one group) and the first matches would be: what are your predictions? group A Japan - New Zealand Sweden - Canada group B United States - Great Britain China - Chile group C Netherlands - Brazil Australia - Zambia and a general question considering football - will Megan Rapinoe be one of the greatest stars of the Tokyo Olympics? How will her postmatch look like? Any strong opinions from her and interesting statements? and which player will score the most goals in opening matches? Let's play the predictons games. It may be fun. If you like it, I will prepare the questions for day 23th July later, Greetings, stay healthy, stay home! Rafal day -2, July 22nd My predictions for: 1/. SOFTBALL - Women's tournament Australia - Japan 2 Italy - United States 2 Mexico - Canada 2 Playing softball games(opening event for the whole olympics) in Fukushima is a GREAT idea. It is safe out there after the earthquake and damaged reactor. These softball games will be a huge success to show the world that it is safe and clear over there. Full stadium of spectators on the AUS-JPN opening game, including Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. 2./ FOOTBALL - Women's tournament group A Japan - New Zealand 2-0 Sweden - Canada 1-1 group B United States - Great Britain 3-1 China - Chile 3-0 group C Netherlands - Brazil 2-1 Australia - Zambia 3-0 Megan Rapinoe be one of the greatest stars of the Tokyo Olympics. Her postmatch interviews will be hilarious. A lot of interesting statements. The player who will score the most goals in opening matches - Sam Kerr, Australia (2 goals against Zambia) What do you think, my friends? Could it all go that way?

Tight battle between those three, especially Nurmi and Zatopek (although Bekele, though winning less diverse titles, of course competed in the modern era with significantly more competition).
