World Cup Competition

Hello everyone!

So, Thiaria advanced second in her group with four points and only one match won... tight one, so all the more satisfying!

Did I really say that? I really can't be a real German... here, everyone calls for the blood of the coach as soon as we win with less than four goals difference. As if our 2014 team was capable of pulling off a match like the one against Portugal again.

Lucky for team Thiaria that I am perfectly content if they win!

Good luck to all remaining teams and may the best Gaelic-speaking team win!

Greetings
GD

Well sadly Caribia is moving toward home... We have 4 years to improve our capabilities...

Group 6:

Group 7:

Group 8:

Group table in the original post has been updated.

Based on these results, the following teams will be advancing into the Knockout Round:
Avalon
Australia
Great British Republic
Venezuala
Rheinland
Koko
Verusea
Tasmania

The finals table has been added to the original post and will be updated as the finals progress. I'll be travelling all day tomorrow but my plan at this stage is to have round 1 of the knockout round posted Friday night (West Australian time), round 2 posted Saturday night, quarter-finals and semi-finals posted Sunday and Monday night respectively and the final two matches posted on Tuesday night.

I have to say I'm very happy with how the group stage has played out - aside from a few poor teams that didn't record a win all of the teams were very close and in one case the difference between advancing and going home after three matches was a single goal.

EDIT: The finals table will be changed in the next day or so as per a suggestion from BB1987 - the individual matches will remain the same but the layout will be modified slightly.

That's definitely what I'd call a very closely contested group.
Koko's team and the whole nation is rejoicing for this unprecedented and unexpected qualification, yet I feel it would be fair and respectful to recognize the laudable efforts of Gotrige, whose team did not advance over ours because of a mere goal.

In media hi is known as them man that live by him self in a forest. where hi use the surrounding during training, he is known to be very good at catching hens. in public, he is known as an man that never complain, ignoring every thing around him and as an party crasher: (at Ron "The King" Rock party, he and Markof was having fun, when he suddenly decided to trow Markof out trough a Window and into a pool, just for fun!")

He is also so strong that he is known to be able to keep the ball even when two - three players try to take the ball from him. His trade mark is his very hard placed shots, from either short or long distance.

Great work Heuhen and APDAF, that A330 is certainly eye catching! I might have to try and come up with some names for the Recherche team at some stage...
