good win mate

it shows a good draw is half the job done.

Despite to what other people are thinking, it will be a very hard feat to qualify for the next round. It is funny to see what 2 wins against minnows can do. Looking at the ratings for Belgium, Germany and Sakartvelo, which are very similar to ours, it will all come down to managing enthusiasm and perhaps even baskets for and against.

The fact we were able to Tie twice already will be a massive help...

Keep up the good job and lets hope the coaches that have players in the NT will manage their gameshape better.

You are right, of course, but so far things are going well. We didn't have any "accidents". It's good to be positive as long as you can :)

Obviously to get through we need, at the very least to win 3 more games, 4 to be sure... Starting with Cyprus, our next opponent. They gave away the match against DK and they *really* need to win against us. They won against Belgium, so they can pull it off as well...

Let's see how that goes!

It's interesting to see that despite the last two wins we dropped to the 41th team in the rankings. Givent he algorithm they use, it looks like they "expected" us to win those matches...

We lost. Quite upset about it, but not much to do now. 2nd time that Cyprus shocks us in 2 matches. It was a CT vs Normal, but still... They had a bit of luck and took the prize.

Hopefully this is just a bump on the road... Well done to Cryprus.

i dont know if u watched the game live, it didnt show you as online, most likely you wore at work or so. but the game was very strange... When I logged on we were like 10 points behind, got within 2, than cyprus went ahead again with 10 or so and we got close again etc etc. this happened like 4 or 5 times. everytime when u thought we had the edge, we lost it again. Everyone is talking about Belgium, but Denmark looks alot stronger than Belgium and Sakartvelo doesnt look to bad either. We still have alot off work to do. I think 2nd is posible if we are lucky and the rest will take points from eachother. Off course Cyprus is out off it. It shows they have a really bad coach. They CTed twice already and I cant see them end in the top 4 because off this.

Funny thing that you are calling Steve Makis as a bad coach, considering that you have 587 active teams and we have 71. From those 71, they know what they are doing 10-12 users. Our forums are virtually dead, and still we manage to win way more talented teams than us. Yeah right he is bad coach...

Tough luck Elboss. It's one of those box scores that really looks like you should have won the game, but didn't.

Good luck next game

No reason to. Results are speaking for him. Its not a coincidence that we have him as a coach for many seasons. I just wish Cyprus had the teams that you have...
