Just warming up

Good, keep warming for couple of more games. So it'll be easier at semi/final

Yep, that's pretty much how we feel too. In the first game we were okay: Borg played cautiously due to his known lag problems, allowing me to dominate the game with good backup. In the second game (on Borg's server) he played more aggressively, leaving less room for me, kind of breaking my "flow". Not blaming it on him, but having 2 overly active players on one team usually doesn't work in PB. At least that's my theory.

Yeah, I can sign on that. Two as you say overly active, or as I call them, dominant players don't do much good result-wise. I myself have to play more passive now when I'm playing with miksa than I'd normally play but apparently it has been working out good for now.

Imo Tijny's performance in our first leg was one of the best, if not the best, ive ever encountered. Atleast offensive wise.

...and an annoucement im sorry to have to make. I will not be able to play between 10-22/7, since im off to a vacation in southern Spain. Rattle? will be stepping in for me...

Denmark 7-10 Finland
Finland 10-6 Denmark

First match was fair, I think we were very unlucky in the beginning of second match, and after the 5-3 goal they just scored whenever they liked. After all a fair win, but damn, if we just had a little bit of luck in some siutiations, we maybe could have won.

Chevron · Post by **Chevron** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 10:05 pm

Finland - Denmark 10-7, 10-6

And yes, Rattle will be replacing miksa for at least some of the matches.

e: slow, whatever

@Anddru, you can't always rely on luck, can you?

Fixed, and no, no points for that.

Anddru · Post by **Anddru** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:40 pm

Finland should have 6 points for 2 wins, Dede?

Chevron · Post by **Chevron** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:40 pm

So we got 1 point from the dutchies and 2 from the danes and you got 3 points from the canucks? Could you clarify, dede?

Henri · Post by **Henri** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 6:30 pm

Well yeah, first game started with a glitch goal, it kind of took me out of my mood, so the score soon was something like 5-1 to you.. Well we really struggled and on the 9th goal of yours we changed our strategy, it seemed to work for a while so we got 10-6.. The other game we started with the same strategy, but when you got your 7th goal, we really didn't bother to play anymore, since we did not have any chance...

Was a good game though and we learned a valuable lesson.
Perhaps we could manage to compete for the second place in the group?

So Italy Estonia 10-6 (from 9-2) and 10-7.

Estonia is now present and accounted for so spain canada and what not in group A can contact us for a game.

I would like to thank all Italian players for their great performances (Speedy against France, best one so far; Bar against Estonia; DjLoL against Canada).

ggs. Too bad we got a lot of lag here in Canada

Also we cannot host games because we have a firewall in our job network.

I hoped to finish this cup before the end of this month, but it doesn't seem possible. There is no hurry to play matches, but try to play them at least. Germany, Portugal and Spain have to clarify if they want to play or to retire.
