Romania had easily win because of CT, but it happened one week earlier with Czech Rep.
Also, considering that CT is played, because you think, that's your last game in tournament, 2 of these teams went further into tournament because of it, so please, don't decrease the meaning of CT ;)

Where will the lion be when you play Serbia?

You have just to ask the right guy Lemon. B)
You should just read Nachtmahr. Joemaverick already explained it ages ago and I agreed with him. B)

Holland isn't 6th like England, they gained 4 positions thanks to the win and they barely made it into the 4th bucket. If they lose some positions after they get eliminated by Serbia they may still be in the 4th bucket, but could also go back to the 5th. If they had lost to Italy they'd be in the 5th for sure

So the difference for them is between avoiding:
- Israel, Switzerland, Turkey, England, Portugal (if they stay in the 4th bucket)
- Bulgaria, Latvia, Slovenia, Romania, Belarus/Ireland (if they go back to the 5th)

At this rate and with this mentality maybe in another 40 seasons the Dutch kitten might break through and reach the 3rd or 2nd bucket and feel ready to try and win something...

Yes indeed If the coach didn't do the GDP... who know what would have happened.

But congratulations to Serbia, and good luck against the Czechs!

And there was another major upset by Slovensko who beat the #2 seed Poland (40876). Another CT vs TIE win. Who will win the tournament now? Left are the following teams ranked by seed, and their world rank in parentheses:

3. Bosnia (25)
4. Greece (24)
8. Czech Republic (12)
10. Croatia (23)
11. Belgium (20)
15. Slovenia (29)
16. Serbia (19)
21. Israel (39)

Yes indeed :) If the coach didn't do the GDP
I thought you had a great coach and staff? In hindsight, if you scouted properly you'd still be in the competition.

It only shows you that your team is not so inferior to bigger nations and that without wasting Entusiasm in the group phase (multiple times in blowout losses) and Normalling Italy (instead of crunching) with some luck you'd still be in the competition. After all if Ukraine did it, there is no reason why Holland couldn't. Of course if you get scared and go for the single win, instead of positioning yourself for the overall competition then you put yourself in a position to never succeed.
