Day 11 is over. Woke up early and watched film of Sweden. We had a film session for 9AM. Took the team through the film and then went to breakfast. Bacon, some scrambled eggs, cheese pancakes. Pretty simple.
Went back to my room afterwards to get ready for the game. I was trying as much as I could to get myself up for the game but nothing was working. For the first time in a while I didn't feel it. I focused in on specific details and was OK when we got to the gym. We came out playing very well. Probably better then any game. We were dominating them. We slipped a little but held a 12 point lead at half. We talked about the things we needed to do to keep ahead but that didn't seem to matter. As has been the pattern, we shit the bed in the second half and they easily took the lead and held it for most of the half. We got the ball back down 1 with less than 10 seconds. We got fouled and it was bonus. 2 shots to win the game. We made 1 to go to overtime. Once again, we couldn't sustain anything in overtime and had a 3 at the buzzer to win but it missed and we lost. A really tough loss to swallow.
Came back to the room and slept right away for an hour. I got up around 4pm and went over to eat. Had a small piece beef, a few baby potatoes, a spoonful of curry chicken and a cabbage dumpling. Not much in the mood for eating. I have been watching film ever since.
We have tomorrow off with practice at 5pm and we play the next day at 10AM vs Hungary. They have a good team so another battle awaits.
