I wanted to attend, but the stupid local organizers only offered tickets for the whole series, not individual games... cheapest tickets for the series are at 177 USD and the priciest at 1560 USD

 

Still crossing my fingers, that not all tickets are sold to try and catch one of the games or the pool final.

USrael beat South Korea yesterday, now it's Dutch time to kick some Korean butt in an hour or so

Wow, maybe Israel could beat the Kingdom of the Netherlands and become the best European team.

Does this have any significance for the Olympics btw?

only indirectly...

I mean, this tournament gives (many) points for the World Ranking, which is the only things that matters for the participation to the 2019 Premier 12 tournament (which is the only qualifying event for Tokyo 2020, at least for what we know until now...the final qualification path is still to be officially confirmed, however)

I don't think they can beat NED (if NED play at their best), but for sure they're not joking...today they also destroyed Chinese Taipei, which is another big surprise...

 

and if NED can do the same (beat the Asians, I mean), both "European" teams will go through to the next round (and their match ups will be just useless tests)...

Damn, these would have been great chances to bet on Israel if it was more known that these players were actually very good, since the bookmakers underestimated them strongly  

 

Too late now.
