Though the German team mainly consists of several players from Swedish and Swiss teams, they hardly were told to have a tiny chance to beat the great Czech team in the first match of group 1. The German opponent to beat was Austria, who had to be beaten one day later, whereas the Czech republic and Sweden are just some sort of goddish for them.
And this was exactly what the match really was about: Germany was totally overwhelmed by the Czech strength and could nothing set against it. In first period, Germany at least caught their goals just by individual defensive mistakes, whereas they really started weak in the second and third period. In both, second and third period they managed to improve their play, especially their defensive one, and were awarded by a free hit goal in 39th minute.
Czech played great floorball and of course earned the win.
