Once again I was in Voitsberg, once again it was a great time.
Result:
In the end I scores 27th of 34 players.
The citificate of the 27th place
I scored 3rd in the Fun Cup, so one position better than last year in Athens. I’m satisfied, even that Armin K who scored 4th would have deserved to be 3rd.
Games worth to mention:
Day 1: Group C (a.k.a. The German Group)
Thorsten B – Armin K. 3-2
My first game ever I won on day 1. I was really bad, but I had luck, beside the historic dimension of the game we should forget it asap.
Thorsten B – Armin K. 3-0
My first victory on day 1 I’m proud of. This time I was happy with my play, and finally I think a big burden was falling away from me.
Thorsten B – Volker B 2-5
3 goals in the first 30 second, what a disaster. But I did not surrender and I think it was more the missing goals in the 2nd half that causes the result.
Thorsten B – Alex B 2-3
Dammit, this were 2 lost points, I was really close to score a point or more.
Thorsten B – Tommaso R 0-2
Tommaso was already 2-0 in the lead, when I got a penalty. It was the Amiga, so I said “No No No”, and Tommaso shoot the goal into the clouds. That is fair play, respect respect and respect again to Tommaso.
Thorsten B – Tommaso R 1-1
As you read before, Tommaso is a real fair play sportsman. My way to say Thank you were endless fouls. Ok his answer to my 1-0 was a lob, but that is no excuse for my shitty unfairness. I still feel ashamed, hope that he could forgive me.
Thorsten B – Gianni T 3-10
As always Gianni played with 30% but it was enough for me 
But I was able to score 2 nice goals. My first “Steve Evil Flanken Tor” for example. Was satisfied because of the goals.
Thorsten B- Ektoras K 0-6
After the 0-4 I really fought well and was able to loose only 0-6. Was satisfied with my defence (was the last game I was satisfied with my defence).
Bronze Cup
Thorsten B – Armin K 0-6
Armin played better and in the end every shoot was a goal. Well he deserved the victory and concratulation once again.
Thorsten B – Harald B 2-6
Like the game against Armin, there was no aggression in my play and Harald was really effective this time. Well after the 0-5 I really started to play and I scored 2 goals and then I missed a penalty, was satisfied with the 2nd half, but next time I have to be awake from the beginning
Thorsten B – Mark W 2-1
What a lucky win. After my 2-1 I did nothing and the rest of the game (7 minutes?) Mark hit everything but not inside the goal. I could say good defended, but no, Mark simply had no luck at all.
Thorsten B – Michael Ma 2-1
Another lucky game. Mike scored the 1-0, I answered with a routine goal. Maybe the referee was not on my side, but I lost 2 players due to red cards, so I chanced to lockout and surprise surprise I scored a goal. A narrow angel goal of course
Thorsten B – Helmut H 2-2
After Helmut was leading 2-0, I did a good fight and reached a 2-2. I look forward for the next game against him, cause these close games are always the most interesting ones.
Thorsten B – Michael F 5-0
Michael was not able to use one of my many presents, so finally I scored and in the end it was a easy win. But of course Michael had to organizer stress to master, so come on, you will be better next time.
Thorsten B – Astrid L 6-0
Was my first game, and I was effective in this game. Astrid should try to press the button more often in the defence.
Thorsten B – Andreas “World greatest shamie” KL 8-0
I was a little bit empty in the head, so I simply don’t think and only play and it works.
Lessons Learned:
- My combinations are becoming better
- My defence has to be more concentrated
- Silver Cup is a reachable target
- I could be really unfair (shame)
Beside the games:
- Glühmost rulez
- Dieter (Robert) will be a good ambassador of the German language in Abu Dhabi
- I also sign the petition “More WAG’s to come to the WC”
