I think the event it self was fantastic, I agree the voice system was hard to understand at times. But this is minor.
The 7th game was maybe one to many, it left a lot shattered after long travel and drinking Friday night, then 4 long games against great opposition ment for many to rest a little to soon
The seeding thing, one thing not pointed out was from the point of view of the lesser side.
We split the 14 nations in to 2 groups the strong 6 and the not so strong 8
Wales played and won our first and were top of the table after beating the Swiss. A grat feeling too I might add, but it ment next up was one if the big guns and Denmark, followed by the Germans, and the French.
So the draw gave us a good start but this then ment we was playing in a park we was not ready for, with a random start, then yes it could happen, it may also mean we started with one of the big sides, but games 2 and on would be more appropriate for our team strength.
Don't get me wrong it was good to play 4 of the big 6, so we look forward to Italy and England next year.
I think one thing is sure how ever it seeds or is drawn it will favour one more and hurt another more. Could be denying the championship or just deliver a battering after battering, could be the 'submarine effect'. But one thing I'm sure off. 7 games is to many for a 14 team tournament.
All in all fantastic.
