First round of the WC is already done and we played a first consolation game yesterday evening. The results of the first round was very predictable. As i said, we were in a difficult group (Pool A) and we concluded it 2 - 5 with 5 straight losses against our opponents.
Belgium U21 81 - 101
Lietuva U21United States U21 84 - 72 Belgium U21
Nothing to say about those two games, logical results. Loosing by 12 points against Team USA was already a good point for me
Belgium U21 67 - 79
China U21The result could have been really better for us if i didn't take the risk to do a double PAM (outside and normal), i'm really unhappy with this choice and it was a mistake from me.
Belgium U21 69 - 88
España U21Belgium U21 72 - 77
France U21I thought we could have the opportunity to play against Spain and France with a greater enthusiasm, given that we were clearly the underdogs. I was a little surprised to see both teams playing with equal enthusiasm, but it was still important for them to qualify. A slight regret, but also an important point: we only lost by 5 points against France.

First game of the second roundBosna i Hercegovina U21 111 - 112
Belgium U21Really really happy with this result, this game could have gone in both direction and i recover my lucky star for this one. It starts the consolation round on a good basis. We will try our best to finish well this WC.
It is also really good to see some 20 year old players already on the field, we are preparing the next EC with nice prospects.
