France 88/97 Latvia
I risked today and it turned into a total blowout. I am really upset that we didnt use this great chance Latvia gave us. Losing to patient played like this is really shame!
Results of other games were really against us. As i have said before, we have the worst draw. Serbia, Polland, France and Latvia now 3-3 and two teams will advance and two ends.
But Serbia will play against China which will play TIE, Polland will play Italians who are doing really crazy stuff now and are no threat at all, Latvia will play USA and will play TIE as well. We will face Argentina. We had to face those teams in full strenght but our concurents will play them in easier matchups.
Next week, decision will be made!

France 88/97 Lettonie

J'ai pris des risques aujourd'hui et cela nous a explosé à la figure. Je suis vraiment en colère de n'avoir pas pu capitaliser sur l'opportunité que nous a donné la Lettonie. Perdre sur un patient joué comme cela est une grosse déception.

Les résultats des autres matchs du groupe ne nous sont pas favorables. Nous avons eu comme j'ai pu le dire ultérieurement le pire tirage dans l'ordre des matchs. La Serbie, Pologne, Lettonie et France sont désormais tous ex æquo à 3-3 et seules 2 équipes vont avancer en demie finale.

La Serbie va jouer contre la Chine qui va jouer en tranquille tout comme la Lettonie qui va jouer contre les USA en tranquille. L'Italie elle fait des expériences folles et ne représente pas de danger pour les polonais. De notre côté nous ferons face aux argentins.
Toutes les équipes citées précédemment nous les avons rencontrées à enthousiasme égal et nos adversaires directs vont les jouer dans des conditions bien plus favorables.

De gros enjeux la semaine prochaine !

Dommage pour hier, mais c'est le problème avec les risques : c'est risqué.
La suite ne s'annonce pas toute simple non plus apparemment.
En gros, il ne faut pas que la Serbie voit trop le jour face à la Chine en tranquille, car on est quand même derrière tout ce petit monde au PA. M'étonnerait qu'on rattrape les polonais.

Bon courage pour le casse tête qui s'annonce, et allez les bleus !

perso, je ne comprends pas trop la prise de risque sur la pam...

I didnt see us beating them without PAM on lower enthusiasm. I was not sure until the last seconds before the game if I PAM it or not, my bad decision.

Je ne nous voyais pas les battre sans PAM avec un niveau d'attitude inférieur. Jusqu'à la dernière seconde avant le match j'ai douté de ce choix. J'ai pris la mauvaise décision.

Today is time to make miracles.. Before the last game of world championship´s round robin game we are currently out of semifinal spot and that means we need to win and hope other results will help us to sneak in. Lets see:

Polland - Italy (Polland is 36pts ahead of us, Italy is out of competition and uses these game to try new unexplored things. That means, they play crazy rosters with crazy tactics and that is why they dont pose much of threat). Polland should have no problems to secure semifinal spot.

Serbia - China (Serbia is 6 pts ahead of us, China is certain semifinalist and will play TIE. Serbia will therefore have pretty good chance in beating them at higher enthusiasm). Question stands, how much effort will Serbians put into the game, if enough, they should win and qualiffy into semifinals.

Latvia - USA (Latvia is 34 pts behind us, USA is certain semifinalist and will play TIE. Latvians will play on higher enthusiasm and I believe they will put everything into the game what should secure them very good chance in winning and hoping at least one or two teams ahead of them will lose)

We need to win and hope we put two of these three teams down. Most likely, it is about Serbia, us and Latvia for 1 spot!

Allez France

C'est le PA qui compte ? Dites moi pas qu'on est éliminé pour un point ?!

France 128/119 Argentina
We are eliminated by 2 pts!
3 seconds to go Pinero killed us.. We were so close! What to say? Italians became my huge friends as they decided not to ruin Pollands chances by not even playing CT in their last game but TIE it. This is where details are important. As i have said, we had bad luck in draw. If we faced Argentina first and Latvia second we are qualified easy. Well you need luck to become champion as well. We didnt have. In this second phase of World cup we played against 3 NORMALS and 1 CT while our direct competition didnt. This was key.
Serbians played CT and are bronze as they will be smacked by China in semis. I didnt want to be bronze that is why I risked big time despite unlucky draw. We were close.
For more detailed summary of my coach term check this forum tommorow.
What I can reveal right now is that despite I loved to work for your community I will not ask for another term.

Thank you

Aujourd'hui c'est le moment de faire des miracles. Avant le dernier match de ce dernier tour qualificatif pour les demies finales nous sommes pour le moment hors jeu, cela signifie qu'il va nous falloir gagner et espérer que les résultats vont nous aider à passer. Voyons voir :

Pologne-Italie : La Pologne a 36 point de PA d'avance sur nous et l'Italie qui est déjà éliminée utilise les matchs restant pour tester des choses inexplorées. Cela signifie qu'ils vont jouer des tactiques folles et pour cette raison il ne représente pas un réel danger pour la Pologne qui ne devrait avoir aucun problème pour assurer une place en demie.

Serbie- Chine : La Serbie a 6 points d'avance sur nous au PA, la Chine est assurée d'être en demi finale et jouera en tranquille. La Serbie a donc une bonne chance de gagner à enthousiasme supérieur. La question restante est donc de savoir quel enthousiasme ils vont mettre. S'ils en mettent suffisamment, ils devraient gagner et espérer la demie.

Lettonie-USA : la Lettonie a 34 pts de PA de retard sur nous, les USA sont certain d'être qualifié et jouera en tranquille. Les lettons vont jouer à enthousiasme supérieur et ils vont donner tout ce qu'ils ont dans le ventre pour gagner et espérer qu'au moins une ou deux équipes devant eux perde.

Il nous faut gagner et espérer passer devant 2 de ces équipes. Cela va se jouer entre la Serbie, la Lettonie et nous pour la dernière place

Allez la France
