No but seriously, why isn’t the Netherlands a world power in bandy? It’s literally field hockey with skates!

Aren't bandy fields massive in size?

As I said, it's basically field hockey on skates.

I watched the first half of our women, but what a shame. After 15 minuten our goalkeeper had a 0% rate in succesfull stops. From defence to attack ... it was a really bad first half. I expect we will win eventually, but Czech Republic and Spain will have chances against this Dutch team.

In the end the difference in quality paid off in a 34 - 22 Dutch victory. This oqt may be decided today if the Dutch and Spanish teams win their second match

Yes, but if the fields are that big, there's no way we'd ever have a place for that  (no big enough indoor halls and outdoor won't work anymore because we fucked up the climate)

Dutch team blows the Czechs from the court: currently 18-5, just before the end of the first half

[Noorderling29 167]

Half time 18-6: the Czechs scored their first goal after 10 minutes.

A very unexpected upset, Hungary wins against Sweden, 28-25. 

[Noorderling29 167]

After a low-level second half, the match ends at 32 - 18. Dutch qualification for Paris/Lille all but assured.
