Since May 2001, Spanish teams have played non-Spanish teams in 23 finals across the Champions League, Europa League, World Cup, European Championship. The Spanish side has won all 23 finals.

Here’s a summary of what each team now need in order to qualify at the World Cup:

Group A:

• Mexico top the group regardless of MD3 results

• South Korea need only a draw to finish in the top 2.

• Czech Republic and South Africa both need to win to realistically have any chance of qualification

Group B:

• Canada are essentially guaranteed qualification and simply need to draw their game with Switzerland to finish top

• Switzerland are also effectively through but need to beat Canada to finish first

• Both Bosnia and Qatar will be fighting for the win in their game. A draw is no good to either team

Group C:

• There’s a great chance that Brazil, Morocco and Scotland have all qualified for the knockouts already

• Brazil and Morocco will be looking to win their games by the most goals in an attempt to win the group

• Scotland are likely fine already but a draw would secure qualification

• Haiti are already knocked out

Group D:

• USA are already the confirmed winners of Group D, regardless of their result in MD3 (they have the H2H on both Australia and Paraguay)

• Australia simply need to not lose to guarantee second place

• Paraguay are likely fine regardless of the result but a positive result against Australia is the aim

• Turkey are knocked out already after losing to both teams above them

Group E:

• Germany will be group winners regardless of the result in MD3

• Ivory Coast simply need a draw to secure 2nd spot in the group

• Ecuador need to beat Germany as 2 points doesn’t look like being enough to be a top 3rd place side

• Curacao also need to win their last game to have a chance at qualification

Group F:

• Much like Group C, the top 3 of Netherlands, Japan and Sweden are all likely through regardless

• Netherlands and Japan will both want to win to try and hit top spot

• Sweden will finish top 2 with a win but a draw will also be fine

• Tunisia are knocked out

Group G:

• A point for Egypt will see them win the group unless Belgium win by 3 or more goals

• Both Belgium and Iran will likely be fine with a draw but they’ll be looking to win to make sure

• New Zealand realistically need to beat Belgium to stand a chance

Group H:

• A draw for Spain will basically see them through as group winners

• A draw for both Uruguay and Cape Verde will likely see both go through, with Uruguay finishing 2nd

• A Uruguay win will see them likely win the group unless Cape Verde wins by a greater margin

• Saudi Arabia need to beat Cape Verde to stand a chance of qualifying

Group I:

• Both France and Norway are through regardless

• France only need a draw to win the group, Norway need a win

• Senegal and Iraq will both need to win to stand a chance of qualifying. A draw is no good for either team

Group J:

• Argentina have won the group regardless

• Austria simply need to avoid defeat to finish 2nd

• Algeria likely are through but a positive result is ideal. A win is even better, as it would confirm 2nd place

• Jordan are already knocked out

Group K:

• Colombia are already through but need to avoid defeat to win the group

• Portugal are also effectively through but will be looking for a positive result

• Both DR Congo and Uzbekistan need to win.

• A win for DR Congo will basically guarantee qualification but it may still not be enough for Uzbekistan due to their poor goal difference

Group L:

• England, Ghana and Croatia are all effectively through

• England will look to beat Panama to secure the top spot.

• Ghana need to better England’s result or win by 2 more goals than England

• A draw is fine for Croatia but they’ll be looking to win to finish in the top 2

• Panama are knocked out already

That’s just about everything! If you have read the whole way then I salute you but hopefully this helps!

Canada won four golds at Beijing 2022, the least since Lillehammer 1994.

No golds after 8 days of Milan-Cortina 2026.

Federal sport funding last increased in 2005 and Olympic legacy from 2010 helped Canada to 10+ golds in 2010, 2014 and 2018, then it's gone right back down.

Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart. It's made with deep gratitude for the people and places of this beautiful land. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦❤️✌️💪 https://t.co/UNXJ0UusP1

Now, the #CanWNT/#CanXNT can reach the Olympic QFs with a win vs 🇨🇴, which would guarantee a top 2 finish in Group A no matter what happens in 🇫🇷vs🇳🇿

ALSO- believe it or not, 🇨🇦 can even win the group (!) if 🇳🇿 beat 🇫🇷 without making up the 3 GD they currently trail 🇨🇦 by

SOME HOOPS THOUGHTS BEFORE PARIS OLYMPICS: I’ve been asked this 10,000 times. Why is international hoops improved so much? Before the Dream Team in ‘92, great coaches like Dr. Jack Ramsey, Chuck Daly, Hubie Brown, Dean Smith & others traveled the world in the summer to give basketball clinics.
