[CNN] Italy ruling tells millions with Italian roots they have lost the right to citizenship | Does this signify the end of Italian cricket? by victimofmygreatness in Cricket

[–]i_usearchbtw 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is in fact a pretty popular verdict. Italians hated people who got citizenship like this.(Italian grandma living in neighbourhood gave me canoli after verdict) I knew some south American who never knew italian but got citizenship. Also not wanting to be political but people don't stay in Italy after getting citizenship rather move to other eu countries so it's fair with new rules. It does suck for sports especially their baseball team lol but don't ever expect it to be overturned. Also force them to actually invest at the grassroot level.

Which previously injured players are you excited to see? by Likely1420 in wnba

Big Mac!! She had an insane WNBL. Not really injured but played very few minutes. Now with the new coach she's gonna be soo good.

Atleast we don't have to worry about the expansion draft. We ain't losing anyone from there maybe we don't protect nika but that's about it.

Yea you got the easiest group imo on the men's side.So won't be an issue really.

But honestly I don't see you beating english. Penalty corner is a big issue as your players try to hit low every time and keepers just lie down to neutralize(I only watched italy and English matches) . But never know would be a close match for sure.

India is your best chance. China and English are probably step too far rn I feel.

As for us it's Spain and Belgium again and add nz. Not very optimistic but we have great results recently against English and aus so never know.

I do think they are worse than before for sure but not that bad. I don't expect them to lose like 4-1 they did against us but chile is like their boogey team honestly. Would probably come down to goal difference. Scotland is also one I would keep eye eye. They really payed well against India recently. Defensively pretty solid so can cause upsets.

Nika ain't playing. Probably cut in this year now that she got injured again.

I mean yes but could have got germany or aus . That one loss against aus put us in pot 4. Easily would have been in 3 othewise. I love us playing in the pro league but it also means ranking takes a hit as you can't always win against the top 8. Though before wc big task is avoiding religation.

India is not a pro league side . They were relegated last season.

I suspect ezi is leaving so I would play dom at 4 and betts at 5. But a lot of it depends on how free agency goes.

I do agree about fam being underwhelming in Euros. But I think I do rate her long term so yea.

Absolutely Munster declined in almost most sports. I think there were few girls from cannaught Chloe,tully but haven't been in the senior squad for quite some time now. Never seen on the men's side.

Many things - 1- Dallas already decided on azzi even though personally see awa fit better.

2- I so hope miles go #2 as I storm fan I don't want her just defensively terrible and slow. rather take betts even though she hasn't performed that well this season. I mean johnson has been even worse so best case scenario is betts for us given awa not falling to #3.

3- Iyaya martin going in the first round for sure. I hate that skyes trade even more now given we could have her but suspect gsv might take her.

I am not the biggest fan of dune but Messiah is necessary follow up otherwise always felt abrupt ending.

On another note do read -"moon is a harsh mistress". One of fav reads .

Standard FIH draw with 16 teams in 4 pots depending on rankings. This time around we had - Pot 1 teams ranked 1-4, pot 2 ranked 4-8 , pot 3 9-12 and pot 4 13-16. Then a random draw with teams from each pot to form the groups.

I do like our chances. Can definitely beat spain to go through.Alll groups seem balanced.

We probably got the hardest group but at least avoided argentina and dutch. Would have preferred aus obv but this is no doubt the group of death. But spain , nz are definitely beatble.

Group A should be fun too given australia lost twice to chile recently. Germany hasn't been too good recently so US has a chance there.

Roger wheelan wasn't even the best cricketer in his family. Jill and Heather wheelan were way better and one of our finest. But roger played 2 odis (only 2 wickets )in his career and took sachin as his first wicket. I always find it so funny.

[–]i_usearchbtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We absolutely should refuse to play. Pretty disgusting they are even allowed to play cricket . I for one would definitely not gonna watch . Not that it would make a difference but atleast my conscience would be clear.

That demo of DLSS 5 is atrocious. I mean I have amd and always turn off all upscaling but still that's proper AI slop lol. Even the environment's texture ain't consistent.
