We are qualiffied for the next round thank to victory 110/96 over Taiwan. Gigon performed well in his EDF debut, also Appert made his point. It is good that young domestic players are taking over!China looks unbeatable in this competition so far and will be our next opponent. USA, Italy and Taiwan will play at the same time for two remaining spots. According to previous results we would welcome Taiwan and Italy in next round;)
Game5, World cup, (neutral court)France vs China (October 24th, 20:30)We are qualiffied for next round and we will play another 4 games in battle for semifinal (medal) from World cup. At this point we don´t know what results we will carry on for next round, it depends on who is going to advance – Italy, USA or Taiwan. Two of these 3 teams will advance, we have recorded 1 loss to USA and victories against Italy and Taiwan. That is why we will root for Italy and Taiwan:) For sure we will carry on result against China team. That is why we would love to win, but China looks unbeatable so far. They are 3-time World champions and 10-time Asian champions. This season they had no problems with Italy or USA in our group and are clear favourites in this one as well with 9 players in best possible shape. Allez France
[...] ils sont les grands favoris de ce match avec 9 joueurs en forme optimale.Allez la France
Dans un match serré, on a mené jusqu'à 3 minutes du terme, quand la Chine a pris les choses en main. Ya eu de gros efforts, même le bizu Lesueur a plutôt bien contribué à la performanc, mais ce n'était pas suffisant. Cela signifie qu'on continue avec un ratio de 1-2, comme l'Algérie a battu Taiwan et les USA ont battu l'Italie dans un match serré, aux prolongations après avoir été mené une bonne partie du match.Dans l'autre groupe, Pologne, Serbie, Lettonie et Argentine se sont qualifiés et on les affrontera dans cet ordre, ce qui ne me rend pas très très content, encore. Le tirage au sort n'a pas été en notre faveur une fois de plus. J'aurais préféré l'inverse. Avec ce tirage, cela sera encore plus difficile, mais on va faire de notre mieux pour avoir les quelques victoires nécessaires et se qualifier pour les demi finales. On a une victoire de retard pour le moment.Le groupe :3/0 China +362/1 Polland +522/1 Serbia +142/1 USA +11/2 France -171/2 Argentina -221/2 Latvia -440/3 Italy -20
Once again BBs forgott to reset the starting time of NT games but this time everybody was prepared:)France 96/80 PologneIn this important clash we have won by good margin (16 points) against Polland. They have played only 1 inside player (even for normal focused tactic). Something that worked against other teams didnt work for us. We needed little help from Goupille and Morisset once again proved we just and simply need him as hell.Other results didnt make us happy though. All teams we need to hunt have won. It is no surprise our group leaders China and USA have won as they are good and will pose threat to other group teams in next games (what is good). Italians dont prove themselves as they are still winless! It looks like there are 5 teams competing for 4 spots now, thank to victory over Poland we are included.Group4/0 China +503/1 Serbia +283/1 USA +132/2 Poland +362/2 France -11/3 Argentina -341/3 Latvia -580/4 Italy -34Next week games:France-SerbiaPoland-USAItaly-LatviaArgentina-ChinaAllez France!
