As I understand it, Peacock will be airing all these games as well? I don't believe I have CNBC.

I think both Canada and Greece move on to the next stage.

Any two out of that group could advance and I wouldn't be shocked. Will be super-tough. One game at a time.

Spain will not advance lmao, Australia maybe, sure.

I like the focus on women achievement and adding their statues presented. Cool.

Greece is always first, hosts are last. The next hosts are before them.
The rest are decide based on the alphabetical order of the host countries language.
