[HajdukSplit]

Group B gets off to an interesting start today with Dinamo losing and Varteks - Osijek playing to a 6:6 draw

3. kolo:

[MaidenMadness]

so dinamo lose again. of course i didn't see any games but just by following the results the feeling i get is that dinamo is intentionally bombing dvoransko prvenstvo. imo they don't want to be there so they're not really trying to stay in there for too long.

 

[HajdukSplit]

they will still advance though it looks like, they play Varteks in the final match and they only brought 13 players :howler:

they have the whole arena against them every night, and apparently their team bus was stoned

They need to move this tournament to a very neutral venue p
