World Cup Summary

Well we are half way through the first round with many teams showing incredible skill and determination. The Stadium is full every night and this great for the teams playing as the drums beat and the crowd chant its really great to see. The stand out team at present is Austria as they have only one goal against and they have beaten the Nederlands 3-0 as this team was the team to beat. Other stand out teams are USA, Nederlands, Macau, South Africa and Uruguay. Australia are also looking to make a mark after beating NZ.


Picture Austria vs Nederlands. 3 - 0


Other teams looking to improve are NZ, Egypt, Japan and India.


NZ have made the paper three days in a row the picture below is one of the articles. featuring Rob Vazey *8



Well the business end is now here and who wants to make a call??? well I will, so below after watching the teams and there performance I believe the Nederlands will come back and take the title with USA and Austria battling for second place. After some of the refs calls in the last games I think all teams that come against Austria are up for a battle as the home crowds are also causing some harsh decisions against the opposing team.


battling for fourth, fifth and sixth could be any of the following teams:South Africa, Macau, Australia, Egypt and Uruguay.


Lets see what happens....game on.

All the teams look to be very competitive which makes for a very good champs.
There is no team that has played almost NO tests in the last 4 years than us.We
have to try and lift our game to a very high level and with a bit of luck things will
go our way.Every game we have played you are in the game but it needs to be
full on for at least an hour each time.GO RUSSEL AND THE TEAM ///.
