It should be an intresting game for both. We actually expect them to win since we have to almost purely rely on our teamwork. Our teamwork is not stable, lets hope we have some quality teamplay tonight!

If we play our usual game we should be able to take this without that much of a struggle, though I never underestimate opponents. We'll just have to wait and see!

I think we'll win this game, even though this is our first time we play together as a team I am still pretty confident in this constellation. Maybe it's going to be a 4-2 but I'm guessing a 4-0 for us.

Player to watch:vj7o[bHow do the qualifiers work?[/b]]
Qualifiers are going to be played as one day cups.
First step - national qualifiers!
This means that each nation that has more than 2 teams signed up for it will play a qualifier to decide which team will represent the country. Only 1 team will qualify for each country!

Second step - Rest of Europe & NA qualifier!
As we only have only 16 free spots for the group stage and 24 nations, we'll have to drop 8 nations. That's why we'll create another qualifier after we know the teams that will represent their country.

Invites

11 countries are invited directly this means there are 5 spots left, 4 will go to the rest of Europe and 1 will go to non-euro qualifiers.
