    This emotions are hard to describe - there was no moment during the entire tournament when one could think of Latvia losing. We've always believed in winning. But the emotions were just grandiose, the neck tightening, the voice leaving, the hugs, the screams, the cheers, the torrents running through us - the rays of joy, the joy over all of Latvia came out on May 28th. Thousands of fans in Riga center 29th May. and in another countries Latvian have joy. We snub our players at home always with glee. Even if we had won a silver medal, we would have been cheering, like bronze.
    Love support flows into our Latvians. Thank you jacks and team staff.

      Потому что все русские проживающие в Латвии - путинисты! Хорошие русские против путинистов, то есть против своих борются. А не находятся рядом с латышами как шпионами притворяясь их "друзьями"! Русские если и радуются то только потому, что латыши стали - третьими а не первыми! Были бы латыши первыми русские не радовались а злились бы. Пока Россия и россияне не откажутся от своих имперских мышлений, амбиций и планов НИ ОДНОМУ русскому не будет ни любви ни доверия! Русские сперва должны покаятся. Но... Они же "великие" а потому покаяние для них это - унижение и позор!

      to be honest, team usually from year to year have like only 2 players maybe 3 changed. And opponents werent weak, as you saw that the games were close. Id say, teams who got in semis were already known in group a when groups were announced for this year, but id say, group b was group of death. Cos Swiss, Canada, Czechs, Latvia, Slovaks, Norway. Latvia and Norway less likely to go out, but Latvia and Norway tend to always mess something up for top teams and knock them down from quarter finals, while A group didnt have any team that ever beats a top team, so their top 4 was already known months before tournament.
