The last game is a home game against Magyarország. I somehow hope that they will have squandered their enthousiasme a bitt allong the road, cause they have a very though draw. playing Mexica away, then australia home, singapore home, Peru away, Israel home and then against us on our own court is a very though draw. Whats more is that they've already lost one game, and considering the strength of their opponents, it will be hard for them to get any big wins that would enable them to qualify with a 5-3 record (for a 5-3 record, you need a very good point difference if you have any hopes of making it into the KO stages...) If we manage to win our first 6 games ( already won 2) then we shouldn't worry to much about this game, yet we sure to face a CT. If we have to play this game with a 5-2 record, then this game will mean the difference between a possible HCA in the first round or having to face a strong team right off the bat in the first round (and meaning a first round exit while we're at it)

Hence, i'd like to request everyone to take GREAT CARE of their GS! i really want to ensure our spot in the KO stages with atleast a 6-2 record, preferably having those 6 wins comming from our first 6 games, so that the last 2 games can be played without any need for a victory to get HCA in the first round of the KO stages, cause that is the minimum goal that i'm setting for this first round of the consolation tourney!

if we want that 7-1, then either hungary should have assured it's qualification... and they have a large ammount of though teams to play against, so if we want that 7th one, we'll need em to squander enthousiasme in a big time way...

true.

except that their team is better than ours... so i'd rather face em when they got a low enthousiasme ;)

Today, Belgium got close to breaking their alltime record in pointdifferential in one game. The record was 68 points, achieved in season 16 during the consolation tournament in a game against Ireland. Today, Belgium literally trashed their opponents by 60 points, dishing out a 54-114 beating to the visiting team Prahet Thai. It should be noted that Prahet Thai put in more enthousiasme in this game, and that if they had matched our enthousiasme of the game, we probably would have been able to break our previous record.

Never the less, Belgium is currently second in the ranking in the consolation tournament, behind the inevitable Argentinian team ( who have one of the easiest and most ridiculous schedules i've ever seen in a consolation tournament).

Next game will be in and against Costa Rica, where the Belgiums hope to assure themselves of a qualification for the final 32 ( which would be accomplished by winning the game against Costa Rica). Winning 5 games and having an enormous difference in points, assures you of participation in the final 32 KO stages, tho the belgian NT will be looking to get better than just a simple participation (we'll at least be aiming for a game with HCA in the first round of the KO stages, meaning finishing in the top 16 during the preliminaries)

keep the Gs under control goes, next week is a crucial game, and i'd love to secure our spot in the final 32 next week already!

forget about the 7-1 now. Costa Rica ended up CTing us, which i'm pretty unhappy about. it puts us in an annoying situation where we'll have to try and win against Germany or Hungary, hoping that Hungary won't end up screwing us over with a CT of their own...

i would have prefered to attack inside, but if 3 bigmen all get injured the saterday before the game, then good luck on the inside attack. Though luck having Marchoul, Hemerijckx and Ballaert all injured... This is one of those games where things just don't go the way you like em to go...
