OK everyone.
I see that on this site we cannot get any Polls up. So I have got one going on the forum at my site. Its for the European shield this year. This years comp involves Germnay, who after comming second last year are looking to take out the comp this year. They have an experinece core group that have been playing together for 4 years now. Czech's who are looking to make amends for last years drubbings by Germany and Serbia and get their inaugural win. Itlay, the dark horses. They do have an experienced bunch of locals but to date have not had many games. This tournie will provide them with at least two very good internationals.

EUROPEAN SHIELD TRI-NATIONS HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
If you don't know, the European Shield is a Tri nations played in and around central and eastern Europe. Its part of a three tier comeption series with a promotion and relegation style system. It's predecessor was the Central europen tri nations in 2006 which Germany won by defeating Estonia and Austria. Last year the Euro shield consisted of Germany, Serbia and Czech republic which Serbs won convincingly with a 30 point win over the germans and 40+ points on the Czech's. Last year the games were held in Heidelberg, (Germany v Serbia), Prague (Czech v Germany) and Belgrade (Serbia v Czech), I saw the first two and were quality matches. I have YouTube clips up with highlights. This years games are in Padova (Italy v Germany), Prague (Czech v Italy) and Frankfurt am Main (Germany v Czech). I'll be at all three onec more and will get clips up again. Also the Germany v Czech game is now an annual event no matter what group the teams will be. It's always going to be on the 1st weekend of August. So anyone who will be in german/Czech rep. area around then should look for details and head hout to see the game.
Like I said, this years competition involves Germnay, Czech Rep. and Italy and is the middle tourney in the three tier system (the top being Serbia Russia dna Lebanon, and bottom being Estonia, Ukraine and Latvia).
