...

They lost 1 round to Ukraine last year

GODDAMN CAMERA CUNTS

SHOW THE ACTIVE FIGHT FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Looks like UK is getting CZECH'D

2H axe best.

in 5v5 it's elimination. fighters are eliminated when they are brought to the ground. In 1v1 it's points based on hits fighters get on eachother.

I feel bad for "little teams"

They're like little kids trying to fight adults

Idk, the Ukrainians were smaller than the Czechs and they just handled them.

Spaghettios vs Burgers about to start

Pastanerds about to get rekt

No, no, I mean this team is clearly a "new" team from a country that is not heavily populated with no experience

...

Did we fight today? I'm pretty lost

yes

Most likely earlier today. Dunno how if you lost/won though.

slavs are fucking brutes

>huge break where nobody's fighting
>then both fights start at once so we can't see both

The organizers are dropping the ball hard.

What is the team against France in the webm ?

...

How many Sup Forums lads are in here?

>camera keeps switching betweeen both fights
lmao

/heem/ reporting in.

>that trip by the dane
damn

Based rusbro.

No idea, sorry.

Sup Forums :^)

...

>THAT WAS A HUGE TAKEDOWN
>camera is stuck on fencegrabbing stalemate

danmark btfo

Yea, Slovenia, not a "big team" (no offence)

BASED BONGS

>half the size of that big American in the middle

UNITED STATES OF THICCNESS

Do the people have to pay their own expenses? I really can't see a poor Moldovan paying for a hotel and flight to Barcelona.

WHY DO THE CAMERAMEN LIKE WATCHING FENCEGRABBING SO MUCH?

SHOW THE FUCKING TAKEDOWNS.

this grabbing is worse than UFC

>Italians and US have a spicy fight
>we're stuck watching fencehugging

Goddamn this shit. Ban it.

denmark on suicide watch

Are you sure? I didn't saw anything except when the reporter asked some shit to one argentine at the beginning..

tbf I wanted to watch the Bonglads

Not really. I managed to miss the most of today desu.

I want to watch both. Considering how many breaks there's been with absolutely fuck-all happening there's no reason they can't space the fights so we can watch both.

I saw your team fight, unfortunately you haven't won any matches.

Danes about to get raped by Russians.

Danes on suicide watch.

There is that alternate camera angle but I don't know what it shows desu

THIS DOES NOT SLIP NOW

Honestly I don't think the expenses are that harsh. I'd wager all yurop teams come by car, considering how much equipment they have to bring. If you want to be as cheap as possible, you can sleep in a caravan and even bring your own food, so you effectively pay only for gas.

FLAWLESS VICTORY

Russia 2 stronk

I swear these Russians use some Sambo tactics

>that dane punching the ground so hard his glove comes off

Could you give the the exact min pls polebro

It's probably too far back in the stream at this point. You might have to wait for the whole thing to be uploaded.

Insane balance on the Russians.

Don't know how that guy didn't go down.

sorry don't remember, it was around 1-2 hours into the stream today (so like 11-12 barcelona time), but i may be wrong

They should fight on a little plateau instead of a fenced off area where you are disqualified if you step out or fall off.

This way the teams would naturally fight for dominance the fields central area and there would be no fence faggotry

They'd just bullrush the enemies out and do nothing else. It would replace one set of problems with another.

Kind of dangerous desu. Becomes hard to officiate too

Fighter Russia 1

glory to mighty finland

come on funland

Black on black violence.

>geting styled on by poland
finland pls

toplel

rip :(

lel

Mock knife fighting? What are general rules like for that.

>angry Russians trying to kill our last fighter

lmao

Just hand Russia the cup already

Good work France, 2 Russians down is the best anyone's done.

AHAHAHAHAAH that Russian onslaught as the Frenchie ran

That was horrifying, Russians were actually in danger too
Dammit I like France

fug, french are pretty hardcore desu.

It's like Napoleon all over again

Jesus Christ, Russia is so OP it's not funny.

I can't even think of a proper sporting analogy. Maybe an NFL team versus a high school.

Well, we tried

Thanks m8

Waterloo 2.0

I liked your team. Was a shame. This styling was nice

Why has no-one banned fence grabbing yet?

I can't believe nobody's suggested it.

>that fucking dodge

noice

I think there's some limitations to it, but yeah it should be more strictly regulated.

Saved.

THEY CHEATED REEEEE

Yeah if you're going to ban it you have to go all the way. No elbow hooking.

[benny hill theme intensifies]

>israel vs USA
Is this allowed?
ALSO UKRAINE BTFO

Was it the same guy?

This UK-Ukraine match is great.

youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg

Wew French teams bretty gud

>5 on 2

Just sacrifice 2 people to take down each fighter and still win.

No idea, but that guy was pure gold

>that fucking AA
(yea, I know, it's not an AA)

Holy shit dominating Ukraine like that isn't easy
Based Bongs

Conclusion : Franks are better Pannonians than Magyars

go uk

>UK winning a round vs Ukraine 1
that's really impressive actually

RULE BRITANNIA

Why do they even bother using weapons?
Wrestling seems like the only way to throw niggas on the ground
