Serbia are in the World Cup qualifiers and far ahead of the standard of European Championship C.

For those more in the know, are Belgium ranked oddly high? ie. does their actual talent and playing numbers match their ranking above Malta, Lebanon, Cook Islands, Spain or is it mostly due to playing more games against lesser opponents.

They beat Malta last year IIRC. They have a few Belgian born French players to call on too.

Cheers. Wonder if Malta pulled in many 'ring-ins'.

Ukraine 24 Czech Republic 6 at half time.

Not a bad game imo.

 

[thorson1987]

46-6 fulltime.

Didn't watch the 2nd half though.

No match report available anywhere yet..

The stream was great quality, good to see this kind of thing improving, but go the extra 10% and get some stuff like highlights and a match report in reasonable time!

Ha, just as you start to get a bit disheartened or feel let down by the game in a certain area or more, something like this pops up and shows it can be done with some hard work and it does look like it belongs. Well done, looked very professionally run, now if you lot could take over the NRL and ESL we might see some real gains ;-)

My crowd estimate is somewhere around 500. Give or take. Not a bad turnout for a tiny amateur sport really

how good are the anthems??

Well said.

Watching this gives me a warm feeling - its a sort of joy that others around the world get to experience the greatest game.

We have a match report, advising a crowd of "approaching 1500"

Congrats to everyone involved.

I'd love to see a more regular structured Euro annual League setup.

3 levels of 4-Nation series' played annually, divided by rank. Currently it seems a bit sporadic.

Anyone else see the player get knocked out at 41:07? Pretty sickening stuff.

Yeah looked pretty bad.

Also the way he was carried off wasn't good either imo.

Did they not have a stretcher available?

Yeah they seemed in a hurry to take him off. The camera shows him several times later on though and he seemed fine, which is good. I don't think he ever returned to the field though.
