R32 ARG 3-2 CPV After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

[zeio]

Like in 2018 , Japan is ousted in injury time …

And they've spent a lot of time going over what went wrong...

Is that why Ito has been MIA?

Now she has her mother Minori um who recently got married so congratulations in her corner and she seemed to be playing better having her mom there now but stylistically

Cabo Verde is simply miraculous in this edition.

they still had chances after Argentina's 3rd goal but couldn't convert it 😭

USA Gs 2026
WS QF
Hayata (10) 1-4 Harimoto (4) (-7, -7, -11, 9, -6)
G3 46, 98 Harimoto faulted for toss angle, 108, 1010, 1110 TO for Hayata, 1113
G4 04, 84, 87, 97, 98, 108, 109, 119
G5 10, 13, 23, 25, 35, 36, 56, 59, 69, 611

Pretty sure Miwa "lost on purpose" the last time at WTT SCT Ljubljana to save the exploit for USA GS (in anticipation of the draw).

Also, it seems Hayata's FH loophole is common knowledge among most coaches of the top associations (Jing Junhong in this case), ever since Xiao Zhan first revealed it?

USA GS 2026
WS QF
KM (7) 4-3 Sato (WC) (-5, 5, -9, -7, 10, 3, 16)

This point at 4:2 of G4 shows the touch and consistency of KM, her strong suit and what made the difference in the end.

The TO for KM once again shows the effective CNT coaching (see Weibo post below)
https://youtu.be/ww1d8Zn7sms?t=7705
That miss at 10:9 of G5 cost Sato the match and gave KM a second chance to mount a comeback using the expedite rule

2026WTT美国大满贯#蒯曼vs佐藤瞳#
于子洋：确实要往中间冲，两边现在不好冲死，还是要搓拉，连续拉，拉她个加速
蒯曼：我感觉要打12板了，拉不死
于子洋：那可以，那就打12板，那不拉了，有机会拉我就不失误好不好 [http://t.cn/AXo9JQfc] 精神病院派来的猴子的微博视频
(Yu Ziyang: You definitely need to loopkill towards the middle. It's not easy to finish her off from either sides right now. We still need to use pushes and loops, consecutive loops, accelerating loops.
Kuai Man: I feel like I need to play 12-shots [expedite rules], as I can't loop her down.
Yu Ziyang: Okay then, let's play 12-shots. Stop looping. If you get the chance to loop, then just don't make a mistake, okay?)

All in all, USA GS 2026 is a disappointing tournament for JNT women. Only Miwa met the goal of reaching the WS SF for the first time that she stated in a mixed-zone interview earlier.

2026WTT美国大满贯 张本美和回应本站比赛的参赛目标🎤
张本美和：因为我大满贯的比赛没有进过前四吧，所以我还是每次打这个大满贯比赛的时候，目标都是进入前四吧。因为比赛很多，我也打三项，对手一场一场都很厉害吧，所以还是一场一场加油吧。

(Harimoto Miwa: Because I've never reached the top four in Grand Smash tournaments, my goal is always to reach the top four whenever I play in a Grand Smash. There are so many tournaments, and I play three events, so my opponents are all very strong. I just keep trying my best in each match.)

That's a typical zeio assessment. There were too many civil wars to make that the primary conclusion. That Sato should beat Wang Manyu and call that a disappointment because she lost to Kuai Man is also weird. It is more reasonable to say that Odo was a disappointment. Hayata losing to Miwa in a civil war and Hashimoto losing to Sato in a civil war is simply appropriate for the territory.

Hayata posted an Instagram story, saying she's frustrated by the results.

早田希娜：美国大满贯
感谢您一直支持到深夜🇺🇸单打8强，双打亚军，结果很悔恨，但从克罗地亚开始的3站比赛度过了非常充实的时光。

自己只能靠自己改变。
还会继续努力的。

美和酱这次也谢谢你了🙏🏻💛

哎呀~你好~
肚子鼓鼓的🦎

Sato beat DN twice in 2019. What happened to her afterwards? Miki House literally put her on the back-burner for several years. Both Sato and to a lesser extent Hashimoto are still under their sphere of influence. So no chance unless they can get their WR up and within striking distance of the top 3.

It’s laughable that a red card shown to the US team has been ‘overlooked’ just before the match against Belgium! Errr, Mr Trump and Mr Infantino, could you please keep your private dealings in the bedroom in future, rather than on the world stage?
