Douai Tournament 2008: the forwards
July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
In general, not a lot of good forward material was present in Douai. The most talented one would have been Tomislav Zubcic but he was not present with the Croatian National team. So I included some PF into this category in order to have some guys to talk about.
