Inför Matchen

As already shown in the last post, the party on saturday was great fun. The animals were loose. And we'll play Brännbollsyran in these costumes too. I'll publish more pictures as soon as I get those of Sandra (tu t'appelles Sandra, ne c'est pas?, j'attend encore les photos que tu a pris la nuit passée).

Today it was a really nice day and I went playing ice hockey for about two hours. It was a bit hard first (maybe I had one beer too much yesterday) but it was cool again.

Tomorrow then, the day of the truth, the game between Germany and Switzerland for the Umeå Beachvolley Nations Cup at 8 o'clock in IKSU. Spectators are warmly welcome, but be there in time, otherwise you might not find a place anymore. The line-ups of both teams are made. German captain Jakob trusts in tallness and has nominated with Ralf and Stefan two tall net specialists. Furthermore will Belgian import Stein be responsible for the creative element in the german game. The swiss team will start with team captain Roffe Loi, Daniel, Marc and new Finnish hope Rikka. For team senior Marc is it probably the last big game and he is top-motivated to finish his career on the Umeå Beach Tour with a win over Germany. Questionmark in the swiss team is mastermind Daniel. Will he be able to show his normal performance after a Vasasloppet-teamcycling today? Rikka's aggressiveness could be the key to success for the swiss team, she already frightened the opponents in front of the game. At Oddset, Switzerland is bet as slight favorite, but experts expect a close game.
