Shouldn't we have a thread for the OQT that's about to start tomorrow? 

 

Anyway, this is obviously one of the most important tournaments for the Hungarian sport in this year (if the Olympics actually happens). I am not confident at all, Netherlands or Italy will be a really tough opponent in the SF.

I would say that based on the results during the Olympic cycle Hungary and Netherlands deserve these spots. But it's never that simple.

 

The ranking of the Top4 OQT teams:

 

WCh 2017

 

5. :HUN 

 

6. :ITA 

 

7. :GRE 

 

9. :NED 

 

ECh 2018

 

1. :NED 

 

2. :GRE 

 

4. :HUN 

 

6. :ITA 

 

WCh 2019

 

4. :HUN 

 

6. :ITA 

 

7. :NED 

 

8. :GRE 

 

ECh 2020

 

3. :HUN 

 

4. :NED 

 

5. :ITA 

 

6. :GRE 

 

 

If we give 3-2-1-0 points for each of these rankings.

 

1. :HUN  10pts

 

2. :NED  6pts

 

3. :ITA  5pts

 

4. :GRE  3pts

With South Africa deciding to take the African quota for the first time ever the final qualification tournament has become as tough as ever for the European nations despite there being two extra teams at the Olympics this year. I guess it's slightly easier with no Canada, but still two good teams will miss out.

with a highly ambitious and bold but not very realistic goal of scoring as many goals as possible and not ending dead last, our young girls (yeah, the youngest team of the tourney) travelled to the tournament.

All tests after arrival were negative, so everything is OK, they can start counting the dutch goals tonight :d (Joke aside, just qualifying to this final QT  is by far the biggest success of Slovak womens water polo ever, a fullfiled dream for the girls and boost for their further career, So have fun and enjoy the games, babes. Slovensko do toho !)

:HUN - :ISR  27-2 (7:2, 3:0, 9:0, 8:0) :p

Yep and let me add that it was the first time in 3 or 4 :wall:years that water polo is even aired here ,  the coach of the Women’s National team declared that this team is building itself to Paris 2024 and that we do not need to expect anything

    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
