The European mini-tournament for the top national women’s teams was held in Stuttgart last weekend. We beat the Swiss and the Italian national teams, but lost for GB and Germany. It was really educational to play against the different teams with such different tactics. Our defense got little bit better game after game, but our offense was a bit moody. It rained pretty hard on Sunday but it really didn’t affect our game, or our spirit. Even though we lost a couple of games the tournament was a really positive experience, even the players sleeping in the tents were happy. This was a perfect way to begin the last three weeks of preparation for the main event. Thanks for the German team for the arrangements!
The pools for the WUCG2008 were released last weekend as well. We have USA, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand and Mexico in pool B. Should be intresting, it’s nice to have so many non-European teams in our pool!
Our saviour during the rainy Sunday, a three bedroom tent we called “Barbapapa”. The lounge provided a nice shelter to keep our gear relatively dry.
