Swedish Metal v English Lions
Should be a great contest with the metal sitting 0-3 and the lions 1-2 with similar scoring. The lions still has that amazing midfield that was down last week. The metal have been abit unlucky playing the Valks bashers and Hulks so at home they will be hoping to register a win, I think it will be close but Lions just, on the back of their mids.
Swiss Storm v Spanish Stallions
The stallions similary are sitting 0-3 and looking to get off the bottom, they have been the worst scoring team all year, with a high score of 121. The Swiss storm started the year with a solid 139 looking to match last year and have been declining since. At home you would have to back the Storm
Croatian Crushers v Hungarian Hulks
Arguably the 2 fairy tale teams, Crotia where the easy beats of the Euro last year but under coach LF they have really lifted. They are starting to build some great talent through the draft and have posted respectable scores the last 2 weeks with 130 (taking out the bashers!!!) and 122 last week in respectable loss to the valks. The Hulks on the other hand have abit of Serbia 2.0 about them with scores of 141 141 162 and looking to go 4-0. i think they will do it.
Belarus Bisons v Russian Roulettes
Belarus typciall go as Rocky goes but Sam Mitchell has been fantastic this year. Russia is sitting 3-0 and would be the strong favourties but if Rocky and Mitchell can pump a monster at home who knows.
Serbian Eagles v Svalbard Valkyries
Fun fact Serbia is the top scoring team in the comp, not so fun fact (for them) is they are sitting 1-2 and 7th. Geez this team is unlucky, posted a 155 last week and lost and a 143 the week before in another loss. The valks have been good knocking up a solid 2-1 and on the surface should be favourties, but Serbia at home should right the wrongs. This is serbia though Valks could pull a 160 against their leaky defence.
Iceland Polar Bears v Greek Titans
The Polar bears lost top spot by losing to the winless wolves. They will be breathing fire for this weeks game. The titans have been respectable but the bears at home should be too much.
Macedonian Wolves v Belgian Bashers
The wolves have probably been the Freo of the Euro this year, they scraped in a win with a low score last week and come up against the hot and cold bashers. One week the bashers look unbeatable the next they lose to crotia. Which Bashers turns up will determine the outcome. Im tipping a on bashers and an easy win to relegate last years champs to 1-3. At home the wolves will fancy themselves a chance though
Spreadhseet working really well, keep it up everyone

ftr, while I know it's not technically necessary, I think we should still make it mandatory that people post their team lists here anyway- it takes 2 seconds, and while nobody in the comp atm would do it, it means that in later years when we have less scrupulous players that people cant just edit their teams post lockout.
