    Went to see a tournament yesterday which i believe was european B grade.
    Yesterday was the team competition in which England Scotland Sweden and Wales competed. England won (under 17's) and Wales came in second. The Swedish team (under 19's) came in third with Scotland not playing to well.
    Anyways good tourney but there was no cameras allowed. :(

    A question) One swedish player had a blue tracksuit while the others had white and green. He was also the only player with his name on his shirt.
    I believe his name was M.Borg? Needs clarfying. Any Swedes know if he is perhaps a rising star.

    I believe that there was some other countris not attending because there was another European B grade tourney on the exact same weekend in... Slovakia, this is why the central european nations were not here.

    As for Ireland. LOL

    Actually, Mattias Borg is one of the few "hopes" for Sweden, he is the best 16 year old in Sweden.. He is really talented, so if his progression curve can continue, we hope of great thing from him :)

    /Twobeer

    P.S. And btw he is actaully not related to mr. Björn Borg :) d.s.
