Just got home. Absolutely great tourney! I had loads of fun, thx to Italy for the superb organisation and to all my opponents for the fun games (Ray-Me, Zsoltsj, Grotuk, Longshot, Flix and an Italian whose name I can't remember
.
We set out not to become last and beat the dutch and ended up second (but lost to the dutch)! And only by half a point!!!! We were so close!
But second place is great! We were leading after day 1 and we were drawn up against france for game 4. Then we heard people say things like "Belgium were lucky today" and "They will be trashed by France" and "it's will be miracle if they end in top 3" (by members from teams we didn't even play yet
).
But we beat France 6-2, and then we beat Germany. And we lost with the smallest difference from Italy. S I think we deserved that second place.

2. Belgium - 29
3. Italy - 28,5
4. Denmark - 28,5
...
12. Scotland
Not sure about the rest.
Still very dissapointed about Spain's comeback, it's not like Belgium posted bad results on day 2, we could have won. And we might never get this close again.
I had a great time though, thx to everybody who made this event possible!

First off congratz to Spain for winning - well done.
Congratz to Belgium for proving that the last couple of years have taught you something
And congratz to Italy who deserved the 3´rd by defeating us.
Also thx to Panico and Beppe for arranging a great tournament- couldn´t ask for more in my opinion.
But I also have to say that the Danes are dissapointed - we finished with 28,5 pts same as Italy, ½ behind Belgium and 1 behind Spain - but got nothing
Still it was a fantastic tournament.
PS next year won´t be held in Spain, it will be in Nottingham.
and includes USA and probaly Canada.
So it will be a world cup instead of a Eurobowl
