Hungary was the best game they had played to date, better than Serbia. Not perfect but winning against eastern european teams in eastern europe is tremendously hard to do. ---

Will S and Peter C played very well at center earning exclusions and some scoring which forces a drop and really opens things up for Dodd and Brinkema to shoot late in the shot clock. Ryder’s driving then scoring or pressing up on the right hand wing for a quick catch and shoot is just nasty next level. ---

I was watching u19 European championship water polo qualifiers and saw that Landon Akerstrom was playing for Sweden? I thought he represented america and also when I check UCSD roster it says he was born in America. Does anybody know anything about this? ---

watching ben forer play this season I am wondering how he wasn’t able to make the u20 team. Does anyone know if he was injured, or what might have happened to him because it seems that he should have been called up for the team. ---

He was on a few younger teams, seems to have really blossomed of late, defense at these levels keeps you in games and his has improved this year. Ask Kocur? ---
