The grid is now updated after our second game at the 2006 World Championships, with the red & white squad prevailing over the steady Belgians by a score of 34 - 29.

The game featured steady offence by the Canadian team, which allowed only a single turnover throughout the entire game, and even that turnover was recovered within two seconds. The team only used three timeouts in the game, which is also a good sign.

The quarters were close though, as Belgium has some very smart veteran players, and their new 3.5 has wheels. The quarters broke down as follows:

Q1:   11-10
Q2:   7 - 5
Q3:   9 - 9
Q4:   7 - 5

The Belgians started out playing their 3.5 - 2.0 - 1.5 - 1.0 lineup of Mertens - Genijn - Verhaegen - Meersschaut, and then went to their regular lineup of Budeners (3.0) - Vanacker (2.5) - Genijn (2.0) and one of their 0.5 players.

The team is getting psyched now for their critical game against Australia, which is always tight, and starts in about an hour. Stay tuned...
