2024 Paris Olympic Games

    Dark horse of competition is Poland for sure. They will make a lot problems for many teams and unpredictable stuff can happend…

    imo group stage gonna be a carnage already

    In group 1 we gonna have france and Kenya in paper the most weakest team in olympics


    So in other groups we gonna have all the rest that are strong and everything can happen

    That's why I hate new system with group of 4. It gives such a big advantage to the host and the teams in the same group of host🤦

    You don't know if there will be Kenya in group 1. It is possible but not guaranteed. There will be drawing of lots.


    Currently it will be like this:


    Group 1: FRA, BRA/SRB/ITA, CHN/POL/DOM, JPN/NED/KEN

    Group 2: TUR, BRA/SRB/ITA, CHN/POL/DOM, JPN/NED/KEN

    Group 3: USA, BRA/SRB/ITA, CHN/POL/DOM, JPN/NED/KEN


    However pots and teams at the top of group 2 and 3 can change. Team from places between 2-4 are close to each other. Serbia will be playing with B team, they can drop in the rankings.

    It is not going to be the case in 2028. Neither it is the case in male competition. There is always one group weaker than the other but teams from the weaker group never get the title

    2 pools of 6 teams is the best format.

    What will be the change for 2028?

    He means usa will be the host so we dont have weak host team problem. However there will be an African team so one of the groups will still be weaker than the others.

    Oh I see. France is not worst host ever (we had Greece in 2004, uk in 2012) and most of other hosts were good (Brazil, China, Japan) the problem is with African team. It is acceptable to have one weak team in a group of 6 but it becomes very imbalanced in case of a group of 4🤦

    Also Canada, I wouldn't be surprised if they reach to quarters. But first they need to first qualify 😂

    I thought the same thing. If you think it well you will realise that Canada has never shown their true potential those last years due to problems. In 2021 Gray was injured and she did not played. In 2022 again Gray was recovering from some injury and she did not manage to play in her level. The last season Kiera had problems with her death of her mother and she was in a really bad shape but Gray was AMAZING because she was healthy. We never saw Canada with both Gray and Kiera in their best shape these last years. If they manage to do it this summer maybe then Canada will be the biggest surprise of the season...

    The only shift I think is realistic, that Canada might replace Netherlands, all other berths are fairly safe IMHO.

    Don't forget also maglio and brie king. Both had great seasons. They just need a good receiving OH who can cover gray at reception. They have all the right pieces, they just need to choose to compete 🤣

    I hope those that think Italy is better than Serbia and Brazil/USA are watching this cl final and watching Sylla, Orro, and Egonu lol

    The prime of the Italian national team was squandered by Mazzanti...

    Now we could have a surprise, but I don't think we are among the favorites for the Olympics: Anyone who thinks otherwise has unclear ideas...
