Vektor 3,325 Posted June 29, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Just because I wanted to look it up, our semi-finals since 2005: 2006 ECh - lost 2007 WCh - lost 2008 ECh - lost 2008 SOG - lost 2012 ECh - lost 2012 SOG - lost 2013 WCh - lost 2014 ECh - lost 2016 ECh - won 2016 SOG - lost 2018 ECh - lost 2019 WCh - lost 2020 ECh - lost 2020 SOG - lost Yeah... for some reason we just can't go past Spain at the these big events. Thankfully they aren't in our way this time and the US is also in the other half of the bracket, which is why this is a big opportunity for us. The Dutch also beat us in SFs before but at least it's not Spain this time. hckošice and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 2,127 Posted June 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Very disappointing performance last night from our girls There is still some Greek interest in the semifinals, as the Netherlands have a Greek coach and Haralabidis on the US (who scored 6 goals against Spain in QF) is Greek and used to play for our national team. Also I thought it was just Parkes from New Zealand, but I see that Hungary also has a girl from Slovakia and a girl from France on their team.

Vektor 3,325 Posted June 30, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 30, 2022 That was one crazy semi-final, and our girls successfully won the silver. First WCh final in 17 years. Not much of a chance against the US, but at least we are finally there. heywoodu and hckošice 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,325 Posted July 2, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Kudos to the girls, it was a very good effort against the US, I think this was the most exciting final they had in recent years and it was definitely the closest match for the US at this WCh. Maybe next time. Triplecast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
