Makedonas 1,562 Posted January 21, 2021 #111 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I am so confused. All I know is that our girls have a chance to qualify for Tokyo, and I will be so happy if they make it. In 2016 we beat Spain in the group stage but still didn't qualify and Spain qualified, so I'm not sure what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it will not happen but because we are stupid, not because we can't. I understand your point obviously. Well, Stupid or not. I just hope you will play at your 100 % and score as many goals as possible, it would definitely be much fairer also for our girls than not playing and just sabotage the match on purpose. playing against italy is an honor for our young girls and an experience these girls may very well never experience again, they definitely don't want you to play only for some 20% and give us such "fake win" gift Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnoud Beldman 1 Posted January 21, 2021 #115 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The match between ITA and SVK doesn't matter anymore: ITA wins the group based on the mutual result against France. Goal difference is not decisive. Netherlands will enter the Greece-side of the bracket. HUN and ITA on course for the deciding other match.

Taken from FINA RULES ON THE PREVENTION OF THE MANIPULATION OF COMPETITIONS: PMC 3 VIOLATIONS PMC 3.2 Manipulation of Competitions Directly or indirectly contriving or attempting to contrive the outcome or any other aspect of any Competition with the goal of obtaining a Benefit for oneself or for others. The definitions are a bit vague, but still broad enough that they could punish if they wanted to. Dunadan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matter if ITA draws or loses because in that case they would be 2nd simply on points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,537 Posted January 21, 2021 #119 Share Posted January 21, 2021 don't worry guys... Italy will never allow Slovakia to win today's game...surely they won't play as hard as if it was a decisive game and most likely we will rest our best girls not to risk any injury, but they will win by some margin in any case... and if there's some justice up in the sky (I highly doubt, but never say never...), on Saturday Italy and Greece would eventually qualify to the Games at the expense of the unsportsmanlike behaviour of HUN and NED...
