Similar story in Pilsen in 2014 but they were too one dimensional - basically dominating the glass and getting more put-back scores but little from wings or backcourt -. Don;t think they played Sharp enough at that tournament. Hope better balance this time....Comment

Portugal will be a new entry to watch, after the surprising silver won at last year's U16 Euro, and an interesting rematch with Spain in Gr. D.Originally posted by Paul Nilsen View PostComment

I agree it will be fun. They will miss the added scoring power of Mariana Silva who isn't included and won;t have home backing which was incredible last year. But they do have big mental edge over Spain after beating them by 20 in the Semi-Finals.Originally posted by carlo View Post
Looking forward to seeing Beatriz Jordao again! Hopefully swatting some shots out there!Comment

The frontcourt of Cubaj, Modera and Trucco could be most dominant in entire tournament - them and Czech Republic are a great early test for USA. Italy are my dark horse and I have probably jinxed them, but if Pinzan plays and shoots well in the backcourt, they could excel. They may get stuck in what is a decisive game against Czechs. But this time I would think Italy could beat the Matosinhos champs. What a game that is on so many levels early in Zaragoza!Originally posted by carlo View PostComment
