It was so KANON to win the last game and leave tournament with the good taste in our mouth. We wanted more than Lithuania and that counts alot. Proud of the girls..Long tournament is over. Wish you all the best!!!! and thank you.

Italy 73 - 71 Sweden
1period: 17-20
2period: 23-16
3period: 14-22
4period: 19-13
We still continue to struggle with rotation. If there is help from weak side to the baseline, we dont come low from the top and so on.
Out of our 18 TO, 10 of them were forced by us. We struggled to score when there was no organized offense. In the 4th quater we had a poor execution against their 2X3 zone.
We won rebounding by 12. Only Maria could hit 3 pointers. I think that was one of the reasons they used their zone defense. We did a good job against their 1-2-2 full court press.. They slowed down our offense but we didnt turn ball away. I think it worked for them in away that it made us think too much.
Hanna, Dani, Bibbi och Maria had a good game.

program for 17th july
Fiba changed schedule and we play 17.30 today against Italy.
New fight for 9-12th places and our goal is to be 9th.!
Sweden-Italy-Lithuania-Bulgaria. I look at it like 4 team tournament which is all about pride and trying to finnish as best as we can. I think it is very important that we are focused and giving all.
Lithuania plays Bulgaria after us 19.45...
Poland 84 - Sweden 79
To win the team has to have a productive defense and productive offense...Yesterday our quality in defense especially in the second quater was not good.
1period: 20-26 (lollo rock med 14 pts. in 8.19min)
2period: 31-13 (catastrof)
3period:19-20
4period: 14-20
2 quater: Lollo gets her third foul I think in the second minute of this quater. Our defense collapse. Polish player #10 makes 19pts in this quater: 2/2 2pts, 5/7 3pts.= was just unstoppable..She made unbelievalbe few shots, on few it looked like we had a hand up to her face but somehow she sanked them. They won reboundning in this quater 11 to 5. We just couldn't stopp their attacks, We tried man-to-man & 2x3 zone.
In summarizing, 2 quater killed us. I am very pleased with how our girsl were fighting until the end. Their determination was beautiful. The positive thing was just we tried and showed our hearts.
As Napoleon said: 'Power of the spirit is far superior to the power of the sword'
17th july we play Italien 15.15!... and than on 18th either Bulgaria or Lithuania. Plan is to go home with two more wins.

Sweden 66 - Lithuania 75
Late raport about the game...As they say it is better later than never.
Tough loss. Alots of disappointments. Alots of thinking. No matter what , winning is about fighting-giving all we have, that is the key of learning. I think players wanted to win yesterday but we lacked discipline in making decisions and strenght to battle physically. It is tough up here and work put in prior coming here is fundamental in succeeding in EM.
1period: 14-13
2period: 12-18
3period: 28-26 (we scored ourselves but didnt stopp lithuanians from scoring)
4period:12-18
It was a team loss. We all are responsible for yersterday's actions. The key of our defeat was a bad shooting game from us. And allowing them to score 75 points.
Basketball is a team sport. 'The team that doen't want be beaten can't be beaten.' That what i said in the meeting this morning. At this moment it is all about us. No resting on the floor, no forcing shots, finding an open teammate and fighting for every possession. We have a new challenge, and I trully believe that we all have that attityde that we can meet tonight's challenge. Home team Poland. And how do we win? - giving all we have with discipline.

Sweden 70 vs Latvia 89
good morning,
It got so late yesterday and plus internet is overloaded in the evenings which makes it impossible to get connection.
1period: 18-22 ( we play pretty good)
2period: 16-27 (lose control)
3period: 11-24 (defense continues to bleed)
4period: 25-10 (happy with effort)
Alots of things to learn and correct. Things I am happy about:
1) 1 & 4 quaters-good discipline,good rotation & finnishing shots.
2) Girls cheered for each other during the whole game, especially 4th period, we were fighting and not giving up.
3) Lollo grabbing 9reb. & shooting 2/2 3pts. in 23min.
4) Dani stabile play. 12pts. & 4 reb. in 21min.
5) Ajnur was the biggest surprise of all. Came in for the first time in this championship and played with calm and smart. I am really happy about her performance. 16min: 11pts.
6) Martina had a pretty good shooting game and ended with 12pts. in 27min.
Today's plan is simple if we play like we played yesterday first 10min. we come out as the winners. Discipline and reaction in rotation must be. Alot more aggressive inside..We need to get some balls in. Run and look to attack..Keep the tempo and cherish the ball.
DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!

What about tonight's game?.....we have good chances if with our organized/tough/giving all defense we make latvians frustrated and especially if we succeed to take their pg out of the game. STICHES hurt that is how I want them to feel when we fight for every possession.

schedule of upcoming games & few photos
hello,
Shit how nervous I was following belarius-russia game yesterday evening. Execuse my language, price just was way to high. Today is a free day and looks like sun is shining.
Todays program is: 10.00 breakfast
14.00 lunch
16.40 buss for practise
17.00-18.00 practise
19.00 dinner.
No teori today, i want girls just to enjoy this day and prepare for evening practise. Dennis will scout Latvia and I and Axel will analyze our yesterday's game and see what details we have to improve and work offensively and defensively.
13 july: 19.45 Sweden - Latvia
14 july: 15.15 Sweden - Lithuania
15 july: 19.45 Poland - Sweden
16 july: free day
Yesterday evening few girls who didnt play or played little had a practise in the water with Cilla. I think they had a real fun.
Axel worked the hardest, I think:) 
What I wish up here more facilities to work out. There is no any stadium close to the hotel and you have to pay 5 euros per person in the main arena in order to lift weights. It should be for free, that is of course my opionion.
What is good about next round is that we will practise in the mornings 40 min. of basket since games are 19.45 and 15.15. Friday & saturday I cancelled practises because they were scheduled way to early 07.40 and 07.00. Both games we played that day was 13.00. I felt that sleep was more vital than practise.

07.35
p.s. i dont know what i am doing up so early, but up here my eyes are wide open at 07.00. am i getting older?:)
