Am I missing something or should there be a game going on?

you are missing a U21 game :P


the view live buttons are available. but it looks like the game won't start. i'm pretty sure it's a technical issue with a leaky roof like in the Houston rockets vs Washington Wizards game of a couple of day's ago :P

Never mind BB, sounds we need a plumber!

If we don't find one, we can always decide that this new second team idea could be a water-polo team.

that could be aproblem. currently, the players sign contract to play basketball, not water-polo... i doubt the players will be happy going from a primairy team to a secundairy team while changing disciplines aswell. we might have a major players strike on our hands. could also be the reason that the games haven't started... rumor must have spread to the lockerrooms

game is underway

Another great game today, with a much needed win and significant point difference under our belt. We capitalised on their weakness outside at SF. Our defences held well and we came away with an unexpected but very satisfactory victory.

Humberstone was definitely the shining light of the game for us and an all-round team effort pulled us through nicely.

We will need good game shape against Israel, they are a tough team and not to be underestimated. Looking forward to next week already

Bless ya and thanks for the game shape and training efforts lads!

Tough game against Israel

We always knew this one would be an uphill struggle this week, our choice inside men were both 7 GS and we were struggling to get enough Inside men to put up a fight against them. In our favour their biggest big man was average GS but they still have a lot of depth and a very very strong SF that has dominated the other 2 games he has played this season. Backs to the wall we went for a mismatch strategy to exploit the poor OD of their inside men. This was semi-effective but we lost our main offset man at C midway through Q2 to injury. This resulted in an immediate decline in scoring and we lost the game by 27 points. Harsh we thought until we saw that Israel played normal effort against us.

We played TiE because we knew this was probably a loss, saving the enthusiasm for the next 4 games which arguably are the easier of the bunch. we are 1-2 now but with our hardest games behind us. I predicted just looking at the teams at the start of the season a 3-4 for the season so we expect to win at least 2 more games but to be honest, I am hopeful that with a bit more GS from our more significant players we can pull out a 4-3 or even a 5-2 because of our win against Ukraine.

Altogether a disappointing result today, we tried to mix it up but with the injury and effort difference it was always going to be a struggle. Lets see how the game-shape works out Friday and we'll be ready to take on the Portuguese

Up until the injury we were still in the game, albeit looking like we were just hanging on at times. Taking it easy looked right in advance and given that they felt we were good enough to have to play normal, after the game it looks even more like the right decision.

all things considered, good choice.

they played normal. Thus lost a chance to build up enthusiasm. However, having lost 2 games means that if there are any hopes of qualifying, then they shall have to come from Russia going 7-0 with Ukraine beating Isreal. that would put 3 teams at 5-2, at which point the goaldifference would decide who qualifies.

the biggest problem is that ukraine will be able to CT russia in there last game, but let's first see how everything play's out. pointless to make scenario's untill u are late in the season. i reckon a logic finish would be the 3rd spot, but u can always hope for more ;)

I agree, but it was always going to be next to impossible to qualify, looking at the teams we were facing, we would need extraordinary game shape our side. At the beginning of the season we expected a 3-4 result. Anything better than this was a result for us.
