intoronto 4,079 Posted February 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Canada picked up a clutch win against rivals Brazil 11-7. I guess their famous Italian coach's plans before the tournament (training camp/playing against top club Italian teams), is paying dividends here. With how Greece played against Georgia, maybe there is an outside shot of qualification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympionikes 25 Posted February 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Pretty surprise by the greek performance. They might take this game too easily. I am also surprise by the germans, I think they are not as good as the last euro but they seem not good at all for me. I was thinking than the second place of group B will be a battle between Russia, Germany and France but the Netherlands might be a contestant too. The last match of today will tell us a little more on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makedonas 1,562 Posted February 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Big win for us today 15-8 over Brazil. Looks like yesterday's performance was just an exception. We really should make it to Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted February 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2021 With the exception of Croatia, Group B is looking to be quite even. You can make an argument for the five nations to rank in any order between 2-6. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how Greece played against Georgia, maybe there is an outside shot of qualification To retain a chance for that, they need to finish no worse than 3rd in the Group A. Then in the QF they face the second of Group B (most probably the Russians), and if they manage to do that, they move to the 3rd place game (after losing to Montenegro in the semifinals). But that game will be exceedingly tough, as one of the 3 big teams (Croatia, Montenegro, Greece) will be there too. Greece might be the most beatable. PS. this assumes that every match in the group stage ends according to expectations , e.g. Montenegro=1A, Greece=2A, Croatia=1B, Russia=2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benolympique 1,498 Posted February 15, 2021 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2021 It will be thanks to Montenegro and Croatia, their level is much higher than other countries, unless South Africa does not show up, then it will be interesting the quarter-finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case (i.e. Greece=1A, Montenegro=2B), it will be most probably Croatia v. Montenegro in one of the semifinals, and Greece v. 3A/2B (might be Canada or Russia) in the other. Then either CRO or MNE will be in 3rd place game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
