Statements to the game:
Rami Allouni (Team Manager) : The match against Team Denmark will determine whether or not we finish 2nd in our group, and face a team ranked 3rd in the Playoffs, or 3rd, and face a 2nd place team. Thus, it is extremely important to us to receive a good starting position for the playoffs. On top of everything else, we feel responsible to our fans for our unfortunate defeat against Team Austria. We will be highly motivated to win this match and will particpate from the Login Lanstation. Visitors are welcome :) Hopefully our performance will be better than that of our footballers!

Max Bendtsen (Team Captain) : We are looking very much forward to this match, playing germany is always exiting, always very close matches we play against them. They have a very strong team and are without doubt to be considerd as one of the favoirites to go all the way. They lost agaist Austria with 16-14 in a very good game, we lost 18-12 in the same game vs austria never getting our tacs as T to work. We hope that the tacs we have prepared for sundays game will work out a hell of lot better than they did vs Austria, but you never know :) Dust2 is a map everybody knows well so, I think the match will be decided on wich team has the better tacs for the map and or the team who are most willing to win. I dont dare predicting an outcome of the match it could go either way, 50/50 i should say
