Roger Eagles was named to the Eastern European team for the World Cup and is expected to start game 3 and 4 against Canada

 

"I know I am the backup for this version of the world cup and I am happy to be here and get an opportunity to play in a few games" Roger said "we had a rough start in our first 2 games but I am confident we will still do well in this tournament and surprise a few people. Giorgiy is a stellar goalie and he will help lead this team to a medal for sure. Looking to gain some valuable experience from him as well"

Eastern Europe started off with a 4-1 loss to Team Nordic and a 5-2 loss to Western Europe.

 

"I just think we were a bit rusty, we didn't play bad but need to do better going forward" Roger continued " I think in the next few games we will get back up to speed and pull out some wins. Don't count us out. Next 2 games are against a strong Canada team but I know we have the players to match them in each position"
