We don't need practice beating teams of Macedonia's standard. We need practice beating strong technical eastern European teams like Russia and Slovakia. We almost always don't qualify because we failed against the higher seeds against us. We're very good at going away from home in trying conditions and coming away with a point against a better team. We're not so good when we're playing the same team at home and should be controlling the game, getting a win and claiming a 6-pointer.
