Olympic Flag Wars: Round 1

To celebrate the ongoing Olympic Games, this tournament will focus on the flags of Olympic host cities, including both summer and winter Olympics. For simplicity’s sake, I will be using the modern flags of these cities rather than the flag and country names from the time of the city’s Olympics. Not every host city has a flag, so not all of them will be included. I hope everyone enjoys this tournament!

Round 1:

1. Athens, Greece vs. Seoul, South Korea vs. Montreal, Canada vs. Stockholm, Sweden

2. Munich, Germany vs. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil vs. Sochi, Russia vs. Tokyo, Japan

3. Barcelona, Spain vs. Berlin, Germany vs. Antwerp, Belgium vs. Moscow, Russia

4. Atlanta, Georgia vs. Melbourne, Australia vs. Nagano, Japan vs. Calgary, Alberta

5. Turin, Italy vs. Helsinki, Finland vs. Paris, France vs. Sydney, Australia

6. Innsbruck, Austria vs. St. Louis, Missouri vs. Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Grenoble, France

7. St. Moritz, Switzerland vs. Vancouver, British Columbia vs. Los Angeles, California vs. Salt Lake City, Utah

8. Rome, Italy vs. Amsterdam, Netherlands vs. London, England vs. Sapporo, Japan vs. Oslo, Norway

relative to urself, not to the countries they're in or by the (varying) guidelines for what's a city vs a town etc- like if there's a city near u that's the same size as worchester, would u consider that a big city?

[itstokkii]

I have a lot of Balkan and Turkish friends and we always like to joke about how the Balkans definitely like to tease Turkey about stuff from the past while they all go out and drink together. Or they sometimes just show up uninvited to crash at Turkey’s place and they spend the night eating sunflower seeds on the couch and watching crappy old school TV drama’s.

Drives me mad how some people make Turkey abusive towards the countries that used to be under the Ottoman Empire. The only other character I see that gets this treatment often is Russia.

I think it can be interesting to explore past empires relations with their rulers/governments and how much say they actually had in how things were done (and I mean this is interesting to explore with the Hetalia characters in general imo) bet it’s very telling when some people are like “yep England/France/etc were forced but Turkey was 100% on board with everything” like… that’s just weird. I don’t think we have to make the nations completely agree with their governments on everything all of the time or be unable to have a personality and their own ideas separate from their rulers but it’s strange to say the least when people pick and choose who this applies to.

ahh I like that headcanon! or maybe turkey also crashes at their place sometimes too!

I wonder if this general treatment of the balkans' relationship to turkey is because many place the colonizer/colonized relationship as a monolith with no nuance to it... and turkey colonized many regions, not just the balkans. I feel each of them were treated a bit different, so at the end of the day it's important to listen to people from those regions.

its a bit confusing to think of what the country personification would do when it comes to oppressive govts, plans of invasion, etc. I like to think that because the country represents both the government and people, I would place the country's stance based on the people.

ex: south korea during the military dictatorship -> people largely opposed it and secretly tried to spread democracy -> korea is absolutely unwilling to do as the government says, has no choice, but sides with the people at the end of the day and may even aid their democratization efforts

if it was a policy like invasion of a land, and the people were on board with it as well, I would place the country to side with the invasion whether it was a good-natured policy or not. france, russia, and heck most western empires fall under this category. the mischaracterization of poc in this fandom, like with turkey always being the assaulter/abuser and france "crying in bed in 2005 thinking about his warcrimes in north africa" roots from racism imo. "oriental barbarian" vs "the civilized french gentleman" type beat.

“It's in the title. The song is all about "the terrible change", so to speak, watching everyone and everything you know fall away. It's chaotic and fast, evoking the feeling of being trapped in a disaster. It may be cliché, but IMO, this is the definitive Extinction song.”

HELLO THE 3 STRAGGLERS THAT ARE PROBABLY SEEING MY POSTS STILL, I HAVE MISSED THOU!

Happy world cup month, it is time for the biggest stage of the game and time for be to drop my obnoxious predictions that no one asked for but I'm gonna give anyways!

Here are my group predictions and notes

GROUP A:

I think Norway is gonna make a comeback and come in at #2 behind local New Zealand. The Swiss are great if they can rise to the occasion, and the Philippines has a great young core. They'll give us some very fun games going forward.

A1: New Zealand, A2: Norway.

GROUP B:

Honestly I think this is one of the TIGHTEST groups of this cup. With a fight down to the end I think it'll come down to goals and Fairplay. Depending on the result of Day 1 Canada vs Nigeria my picks are switching depending on the light with which I look at the table. SO.

B1: Australia (2W, 1D), B2: Nigeria (2D, 1W, Goal difference leaving Canada behind by ONE goal in a total group heartbreaker)

Group C:

Despite the big players refusing to play I think Spain has it in the tank for a great cup. If the Ticas can show some discipline they might surprise, but they're up against the TITANS of discipline so.

C1: Spain, C2: Japan

Group D:

Euro winners have one hell of a team. No notes for them today, second place is what is up for grabs. Haiti is always a dark horse pick but I think mettle and the money for great player health and conditioning will draw this one out so.

D1: England, D2: Denmark.

Group E:

One hell of a group here. Without Viv Midema the Netherlands is missing that finishing punch, but if they can bank on winning their other 2 games and forcing a draw or a one goal win with the US, they can go for first. Portugal is good but they have a lot of youth to adjust to the big stage. Vietnam has a delightful proposal and they play some very fun futbol, but they had the unfortunate luck of drawing 2 titans of the women's game.

E1: USA, E2: Netherlands

Group F:

The elderly stateswomen meet the bright eyed newcomers. Brazil is the titan of South America but they've proven to be way too rigid in their team selection. France is shaking off the cobwebs of a shit coach to see how far they can take it this time. Jamaica and Panama have everything to prove to show that 1. they belong here and 2. their federations NEED to stand in this fight with them. Despite the great teams I think this group is gonna be one of those low scoring ones where teams are making adjustments on the fly and we might get a surprise or two from some games.

F1: France, F2: Brazil (but just narrowly edging out Jamaica)

Group G:

Youth and a desire to prove that it's not only their men's team that know what's up. Argentina is pulling one hell of a legacy behind them, Italy is building a beautiful squad, South Africa comes up from fighting a war of speed and strength, Sweden has a chip on their shoulder. One hell of a group!

G1: Italy, G2: Argentina

Group H:

QUE VIVA COLOMBIA HP! An aging titan in Germany with some key injuries, a very disciplined squad that has been testing some amazing set plays and learning how to play through the lines in South Korea (but that tire out quickly), a fast and tough team that plays a fun midfield game with a solid defense in Morocco. And finally, a team composed of the women who paved the way for the youngsters, the maximum scorer in a Colombia jersey, a midfield filled with aggression and experience, a promising defense all led by the most promising young international that already took one team to a world cup final, Colombia promises a LOT to her fans. If Abadia can get his head out of his ass and learn how to make changes before exhaustion takes hold, this team can take it far!

H1: Germany, H2: Colombia

It's an amazing time to be a woso fan!

(Women's) World Cup

I have been too busy trying not to get too behind on everything, so I haven't had time to post much lately. But I'm completely obsessed with the World Cup at the moment.

I've only been able to watch the few games that aren't in the middle of the night in my time zone, but I've been keeping up with the tournament by reading the Guardian's minute-by-minute blogs after the fact, and watching the highlights.

And it's been super exciting, with lots of big surprises!

For example, the US only barely made it to the next round, and the teams eliminated at the group stage unexpectedly include Canada (I had been very pleased to discover Christine Sinclair was still playing--she's 40!), Brazil (which is very disappointing--this was Marta's last time and she's a legend, and I love the team's style of play, plus they wear yellow), and perhaps most shockingly, Germany!

Group H was the most fun. Watching Colombia play in the group stage was exciting--they were really on fire in their first two matches (and I loved both their kits--they wear yellow as their preferred uniform, and the alternate outfit is purple shirts with astronomy designs and yellow shorts), but then they lost to Morocco, the lowest ranked team in the tournament! Morocco, despite getting thrashed by Germany in their first match, somehow managed to pull off two victories (including against Colombia), while South Korea, after losing twice, managed to hold Germany to a draw, and so both Colombia and Morocco advance to the next round! (Do yourself a favor and watch the video of the moment when Morocco, having finished their match, saw the end of the simultaneous match that would determine their fate and learned that they were going to the Round of 16. It was pandemonium. I cried!)

I was a little upset to see that of the eight games in the Round of 16, three of them feature a nation playing against their colonizers: South Africa vs. Netherlands, Morocco vs. France, and Nigeria vs. England. Ooof. Here's hoping at least one of these underdogs can win!

The teams I'm currently rooting for are:

Any non-European team that wears yellow. The ones still in the tournament as of my writing this post are: South Africa, Colombia, Jamaica, and Australia. Not sure how good any of their chances are, and Colombia will play against Jamaica in this round so only one of them can go through. But on the bright side, that means at least one yellow team will be playing in the quarterfinals!

Japan. They've been really versatile and have modified their style of play strategically to exploit their opponents' weaknesses, and they are fun to watch.

Any colonized country playing their colonizer.

I... don't really have a horse in the race for the Sweden vs. USA match. I don't think the USWNT played well at all in the group stage, and I like the idea of other teams catching up so it's more competitive, and Sweden wears yellow. But at the same time, I also do want to see the USWNT play well, so...

Group Stage Update

I have been busy being a tourist in New Zealand, which is a beautiful country, and have not had time to sit down and talk through all the games happening. Groups A, B, and C have already played their last group stage games and teams have moved on to the knockout round, and other teams will do the same in the next three days. 

Group A

Group A was the wildest group by far, with each team getting at least one win. This meant that each team had the ability to advance to the knockout stage with a win in their last game. Switzerland ended up winning the group with a win and two ties, and Norway took second place with only one win and one tie. The last games were probably the least dramatic–Norway steamrolled the Philippines 6-0, and Switzerland held New Zealand to a 0-0 tie. It was a hard game to watch, as Switzerland seemed to be playing for the tie instead of a win, while New Zealand threw everything they had at the game and still came up short.

Group B

This group also had some chaos, with the marquee teams Australia and Canada both struggling, and both needing a win against the other to move on. But it wasn't the close match a lot of people expected, Australia ended up dominating 4-0, preventing Canada, the current Olympic gold-medalists, from moving out of group stage. Big Oof. Nigeria also qualified for the knockout stage, with two 0-0 ties, and a surprise win over Australia, which seems to have kicked the host country into action before their Canada game. Maybe they owe Nigeria a thank you?

Group C

This was a classic group stage–no ties, no upsets. Japan won all three games, including a decisive 4-0 win against Spain, even though Spain held 77% possession. Japan's counterattack is LETHAL. For their part, Spain won pretty easily against the other two group opponents, but they will need to be on their toes in the knockout stage.

Group D

This is another group shaping up to be a classic group stage with no upsets–but although the results look normal, the games have been anything but. Haiti has kept both of their games to only 1-0 losses, and England has only had 1-0 wins. England can go through with a win or a tie, but could technically get knocked out if both Denmark and China with with goal differentials greater than 2. Math is fun!!

Group E

USA play tonight against Portugal, and need a win or a tie to go through. Although both USA and Netherlands are slated to go through, either team could get knocked out by an upset. I'm stressed.

Group F

F is for…France? Fail? Freedom? Right now, France and Jamaica are the top two teams in the group. If things go as expected in their games tomorrow, France and Brazil will be the top two. But none of the games in this group have been "as expected". I'll be at the France vs. panama game in Sydney tomorrow night. Allez les Blues! 

Group G

Sweden has locked in their path to the world cup with two wins, but any other team could be the second team to go through. Argentina has a tough task with their last game against Sweden, but Italy and South Africa will literally be battling head to head for the last spot. Italy could get through with a win or a tie, while South Africa needs an outright win. 

Group H

Colombia has surprised the world by beating Germany for their second win, locking them in for the group stage. Germany did generally play well and will likely take the second spot, barring any HUGE upset by South Korea, but that's not impossible after two upsets in their last three games (Zambia and Colombia).
