9's has to be better than nothing, so is a must for emerging nations and I have noted The Netherlands success in the 09EU Cup. We can talk about you and Croatia now, as you have also entered the debate, Great! We still want more comment from the leagues around the world on this topic. Also great to see that the Flying Dutchies are planning on IC11.

With the 9-a-side domestic league kicking off in the Netherlands this year, maybe we'll see an 18-a-side test at some point in 2010, even if you can't make it to the EC?

...traditional rivalry Germany vs Netherlands?

I wouldn't say 9s is a Clayton's game either. It obviously has a role, and it's not known yet whether it will remain important like that, or even become in some ways a recognised separate sport.

@Dante: There's probably that much talk about Croatia as they fielded a complete squad of locals. Most of the readers here would probably agree (and was mentioned in the discussions here earlier) that in the 9-a-side format a couple of good aussies make a big difference and that the handicap system does not completely make up for it. Sweden won the tournament because of this in 2007.

Great to see that you start a competition this year! Best of luck for that!

@Brett: Sorry for not getting back yet to your email. I'll reply in the next few days.
