EUC Update VIII - Belgian Open Wins ! Plan B In Quarter Finals !

For the first time this week the Belgian Open managed to win a game, and how !

They played in the boiling heat against a Spain who's used to temperatures like this but didn't manage to find their game.
Bigtime diving D's by the whole belgian open team, but mainly Robainz and Raf forced the Spanish to try crazy stuff and make errors the whole time. The belgians kept on putting massive pressure and showed the espagnola's that they were a bunch of fired up,enthousiastic,talented and wicked players.
Even youngster Jens from Slijpschijven had his first two scores of the week, one of them after skying 2 Spaniards for a big defense and then a double happiness score.
All of the boys were really excited and the idea of getting a beer after their win fired them up to end the game at 17-8. Joren lead his troops well and all of the boys shined ! A lot of belgian smiles on the pitch !

In mixed division Plan B made it to the quarter finals but the fairytale turned out different than expected.
A good warmup saw us all being ready to face Ze Germans under a boiling hot Slovenian sun. The Germans came out overexcited and willing to get revenge for their G-Spot loss and took a quick  lead in the game scoring 3-1.
We quickly responded and took halftime by getting all fired up and score 5-7 !
During our comeback we unfortunately suffered a big injury by Wouter Struyf who did a greatest (!!) and landed on his shoulder, during which he broke his collar bone. The comeback was also a dedication to Wouter who knew his championship and maybe so much more is over...

After halftime we had another not-so-great moment and ended up getting whipped to 13-9.
We gave them a little comeback till 13-11 but some uncharacteristic fouls and mostly some unforced throw-aways later the game ended in a disappointing 15-12 defeat.
Ending up 2nd in our poule we still made it to the quarter finals of the European Ultimate Championships.
Which means Plan B is playing top 8 in Europe and we should all be quite proud of this.
Quarter finals tomorrow against Austria and we're all looking forward to it.
Getting a good night's rest is what we're gonna do and you better believe we're gonna be ready !

  1. Great work one and all. Big CONGRATULATIONS to the open team on their first win. Finish in style boys.
    Plan B, heads up. Beat Austria. Then go to the Irish camp and ask them for some reasons to beat GB! I'm sure they'll be able to thin of a few. ;)
    Wouter... you did a greatest dude! :-D Sure you may have a broken collar bone but you will go down in EUC infamy as that Belgian dude who did a greatest. Proud of you man. :)
