Eurobowl - Team England

Post by Geggster »

Chaps and Chapesses,

Team England will be at the Eurobowl in Italy this November (11th-12th) trying to win back the trophy they won in 2004.

Most of that team are available again to wrest the trophy from clammy European hands but we thought it only fair to put out a big invite to others to see who else would be interested.

So if you are interested in playing for England in Bologna this November AND are prepared for the three day jaunt to the home of Farina, Roller and co, then post here.

Just to be clear - there will be no qualification process. The final team will be selected on those that have shown willingness to travel before, are at least proficient at Bloodbowl and most importantly know how to have a laugh off the pitch.

Those interested already - Lucifer, Lycos, Indigo, Venomous Breath, Longfang, Max Horseman, Grum, Pippy, Blitzwing and myself. A venerable list (Grum excepted, of course) but with varying degrees of availability so post here if you want to be considered.

I would like to be considered, Mr G. I'd be delighted to join Team England if there's room for a little un :D

Should be able to confirm my ability to travel in the next few weeks.

Will Grum still be captain?

Cheers,

Pip

Luckily for everyone else I can't make it this year.

Got other stuff preplanned for that weekend, so you guys will have to win it without me.

I've left big boots to fill. ;]

Lucifer, Lycos, Indigo, Venomous Breath, Longfang, Max Horseman, Grum, Pippy, Blitzwing and Geggster, and without Grum... :o :o :o

For me team England is the favourite!

You look like Brazil in the World Cup...

Anyone called my name? :D :D :D


-The european Brazil? Hmm, dont think so. It is almost the same setup as last year, and the last game against the central european Blood Bowl Power Austria wasn´t one of the best moments for team England.
Even Italy beat us 7,5 to 0,5. And we thought it couldn´t get worse after spain beat us 7 to 1. But England has helped to restore the pride of Austrian Blood Bowl. :D

Well if this means getting drunk and boast about your skills while spilling some brew while talking just draw a number. :D
I think Im not the only one that playing with a hangover boost just every aspekt of my playing. When thinking is just a pain every thought is held tighter just because you fear to loose it again.

England-France 7-1

What about to make the first 8-0 on an Eurobowl ever!
