I can understand what both teams did. In Turkey's case, they went TIE, CT then normal, so their enthusiasm would be around 4 probably, that's not too bad.

I don't think enthusiasm resets at all for repacharge teams entering the consolation tourney. It was pretty obvious to me when Mexico TIEd us that their plan was to build enthusiasm for the consolation tourney. Given that their chances of beating both us and Turkey were slim, that was a pretty smart move.

(Ghana going normal was the one I couldn't understand actually - there was nothing in that for them...)

A lose to Singapore tonight. 10 points. But them going CT and with HCA it is not a surprise we did not win. They have ruined their enthus and if we are lucky we might meet them in the knockout stage.

2 games to go and both should be safe wins and see our team making the final 32.

Would of liked to win tonight but banking enthus for next stage seemed more important.

A strange crunch really, given that they have two easy games to finish so didn't really need to beat us. Couldn't have predicted that.

No I am shocked. I think we would of won if they went normal. But looking at their games I think they go normal most the time. Might be why last season they had they best side in asia but failed to even come close to finals.

Means we will sit a bit lower in the rankings but still prefer the enthus in the bank.

Unless this results in us drawing a powerhouse team, coughpolandcough, in the 1st round of the knockout phase, this loss means nothing. 5-3 with good PD is enough to see us through and from there we'll only have to outlast a few other teams. And even if we fall short, I doubt that the other Asian teams in the final 32 (Indonesia is 1-4 so they won't be making it) will be able to fully capitalise on the HCA advantage anyway.

We should be off the bottom and avoid the top few sides.
We might even see Singapore or NEw Zealand in 1s round which would be nice.

Would love either of those 2. Anybody that we wouldn't have to CT would be delicious

Final round game tonight. We sit just in the top 32 who make the knockout stage. We need to win to be sure of getting through and hopefully up a bit higher in rankings to get a easier run into knockout.
