STATS ON NATIONS CUP

HISTORY ON NATIONS CUP

RANKING: 27º

PRESIDENT : Frozen Penguin

MANAGER : LA-Matan

I think it will be just as great. Cure has been doing an excellent job in organising this Cup, and now gets a few extra hands to take care of everything.

What do you think in general about this cup?

It's great to have a World Cup with a round robin. You also notice on global forum that people like this format, it's getting a lot of attention

Can you tell us somethink about yourself? And how long do you play PM?

I'm 34 in real life, married with 2 wonderful children. And a busy job, making I can't log into PM at any time I want anymore. I play PM since 2005.

What is your expectation about this cup? Any goals?

No specific goals. Despite the special character of the Cup, they are still only friendly games. In which victories are important mainly for ranking points. Of course, going through to the next round is always the goal. But the qualifying games are the real deal.

Beer or Wine? xD Football or Basketball?

I do like a glass of wine with my food thanks a lot, but in general I still prefer beer. What else do you expect from the president of Belgium, the nr 1 beer country in the world.

And the other choice is much more obvious still: football. I've always been keen on it. Not so much on basketball - I know it's a physically challenging sport, but it's a no contact sport which makes it a bit of a sissy sport to me. Never felt the passion about it as I did with football. The only sport that would come close to football for me is rugby - actually I appreciate rugby more as a sport than football, but in Belgium we don't have a rugby culture so I'm not following rugby all that much.

Can you think any way to bring this cup to the next level?

I think it's good that we have this Cup now also for adult teams. Next level would mean some kind of offical recognisation, which isn't likely to happen...

Can you think how the PM community can make this game better?

I think the only ones who can make this game (even) better are the admins. And we all know they are kind of absent it the game, unfortunately. All we as a community can do is to keep on playing with passion, and posting comments on the game. If it doesn't help, at least it won't harm us either.

Something else to add?

I'm proud to be one of the people who suggested to organise an adult version of this Cup, and to have been the first person to commit to play in it (even though I still needed confirmation from my NT coach, which means Belgium was not the first country to officially subscribe)
