This 1-7 loss was harsh, many games we could have won instead of losing (at least 2). Still, in all cases it would have been a loss, a loss against a team that should have been accessible for us.
If we would have made the most of our positions the score would have been 3.5-4.5 (in my opinion). We said that we had a bad day, but my point is that there is more to learn from this defeat. I think we might have proved to ourselves that we are the favorites to lose the group, which we all want very much to avoid.
Of course, we must stay positive. But we might want to keep in mind what our goal is, so that we can adjust our attitude during the match. Sometimes just realizing that you are not favorite to win helps toward achieving better results. For me it becomes a good motivation to fight for every point and to give my opponents the hardest possible time.
On a more sunny note, the dinner was great, Arno was not exaggerating. It was lots of fun. It would have been a pity to miss it.
