Hey all.
I genuinely had the best of intentions to write match reports this season, and even after each game I thought I might do it this week, but I guess I'm just a bit shit? (and BB international management is really most suited to Uni students with loads of free time on their hands I reckon...not that I imagine many people that age are playing it these days). Just life and feeling busy innit...soz like.
On Monday we have the first knockout round. There is 0 chance we get through unfortunately. 0.5% if I'm generous? :) We ended up with a 6-2 record and the 22nd seed and are playing away at 7-1 Russia. Russia should be an 8-0 team and 6th/7th seed really, for some reason Lithuania crunched Russia (on a TIE). Lith got a home seed which they wouldn't have had otherwise so maybe that was worth it for them.
Other potential opponents:
9th, Netherlands - probably better than us and beat us last year, but no monsters.
10th, Uruguay - one big looking C but nothing too scary.
11th, Russia
12th, Slovakia - Good gs and not sure I fancy them much either (beat us in the first game this season, but less effort on our part), at least less good than Russia.
13th, Belarus - definitely look beatable. Would've been the dream draw. (they've played 1 good team this season)
Maybe not that unlucky in the end? I just wanna play Belarus tbh.
