there was a good final to watch between two good teams at the end of the day, with plenty of space for spectators, and lots of discussion between spectators in breaks of play as well,

You tell the different yourself. A final match were all the top rank players are plaing has all the interest. And many couches looking in the water. Discussing and commenting.
A match without any top rank players dont have any spectators/interest. I dont put a finger to you or the other NW/AUssie players but to all top rank players. (so also the dutch top rank players)

really, what do you expect? every player that thinks they are any good to jump in the water and start shouting instructions at these poor guys while they played? how would that have helped anything?
|
No i dont expect that. And you now that iff you realy has watched that game.
There were almost no players left by the pool. The game was realy left allone. Only the 2 teams the reffs and i and my twin brother were at the pool side. And iff any top rank player want to give tips and advice it is always posible, In the timeouts and in the break. But then there were no top rank players also there.

i'm not sure i buy the fans-gods thread or how it started from talk about the dutch tourney... i'm not sure that a guy putting names on an un-impressive list counts as a fan? wouldn't that make him a heckler? or are we going to develop anti-fans before fans? haha! maybe players will start receiving hate mail before fan mail! hilarious.

I'm a fan off the sport. With my own opinian. There is in the world only one team that i'm a anty fan from.
And that is not you! But that is already well nown in all the Netherlands. Like The game before the last game. They ask me what team does you want to win. It was very easy. The frence And not Breda (sorry Meg)But that has all the good reasons.
It was you that first said something about a un-impressive list. I only did find the level by all and so by you not impressive. Do with it what you want. I find the play i did see those days not very much better then the first class in the netherlands. (were Tan played) THe only differents was that the tactick workt better. Iff thats the differents between a lower class and the world top, Then the world top has a problem!

its not anyones responsibility to look for people to teach... its those that want to learns responsibility to go out and find the knowledge, like anything else in life. when those people ask there will always be people willing to answer and help out

In the Netherlands? hahahahaha Maybe as you are a top rank player. But iff you play in the lower classes you dont get any help. And thats the point. I'm used that the top rank players has NO INTEREST AT ALL for lower teams and players that are not from there own club. We the Tilburgers like we are called in the Netherlands are one off the few that do share technicks. and Knowledge. But it is not easy to get new knowledge from the top rank players.
It is not very stranche that the tactick we use is like waterpolo ( my team are all waterpolo players) and the technicks and skills somewhat differend from all the old school clubs. We Only had help when we started a few weeks. After that they found out that we never were going to play by there teams/clubs and all sharing and help was gone. And after 3 years we were the best in the lower classes. (on our own!) And stranche we did share with other teams. So we becaume after 3 year being allown without help, the consultants for the netherlands. And when we formed a junior team in the first year we were the champs.. (this has little to do with the toernament, but maybe you then now why we dont jump in the air when a top rank player tells us to jump, but why we ask WHY!.) ETC. We like the game. We are very social(easy going) to be with. But keep in mind that we did it on our own. The only thing that helped was that we (trb-res is a big swimming club ,900 people)
And like here were i ask that question to AMC32 about a comment about my gloves and Were i ask that to BentFishBoy about his comments about the handle from the Britbat there IS NO ANSWER.
AND YES I FIND IT A RESPONSIBILITY FOR TOP RANK PLAYERS TO HELP LOWER CLASSES OR TEAMS.
Only then the world level can be growing.
