David's Updated Power Rankings
1) France (2) - Convincing win over Sudan, looking strong all around.
2) Laos (1)Laos still look good and play good soccer they are still one of my favorites to win the cup. Tough first game Vs. Afghan but I'm sure they'll just get stronger as the tournament goes on.
3) Afghanistan (7) - If the core if there team will make it every game (Mitch,Bobbi,Contenti,Josip,Diakiw) I think they have a chance of making a run. Close game with Laos and unlucky not to get the win. But a tie with Germany is not the best result for them. Would be alot better if Mitch shot the ball!!!
4) Nigeria (9) - I had them very underestimated before, great win Vs. Canada now they just have to not slip up against some of the weaker teams like they have in the past.
5) Canada (3) - Canada are very strong defensively I just think they are lacking the fire power to go all the way.
6) Poland (4) - Poland are in the same boat as Canada here, lacking fire power. Jay is doubtful to return and Brett Levis not playing at all will really hurt them. They have a couple guys that chip in with goals but I'm not sure that is enough.
7) Sudan (5) - After being destroyed by France first game they just don't seem to have the team that won them the cup last year.
8) ROI (6) - ROI will not struggle to score goals but keeping them out will be an issue. They will advance through there group with ease but will be matched up with a tough quarter final game.
9) Germany (11) - Very poor showing Vs. South Korea but they were missing players. Managed to pull of a tie Vs. Afghan which is impressive.
10) ES (8) - I have ES 8th just because I am not too sure about them yet. They have some quality but the game against Sudan will be the deciding game to see if I should of ranked them higher.
11) Jamaica(10) - Beat the 2 weakest teams in the group so far I just dont see them getting out of the group.
12) Colombia (13) - Good first win for them, I expect them to get out of the group.
13) Italy (16) - Kept it close with ES so they jump up a few spots.
14) Norway - Still just are Norway, an okay team.
15) Hungary (18) - I think they are only so high off the bottom because there are so many poor teams.
16) Greece (15) - Based on the games to far probably the weakest team in the group.
17) Scotland (20) - Managed to get a win so they climb a few spots.
18) Northern Ireland (19) - In a tough group, wouldnt be as low if they had managed to be in an easier pool.
19) Serbia (12) - Lost to Scotland. Also looked very poor Vs. Portugal too.
20) Portugal (17) - Shocked to see them so low.
21) South Korea (23) - In a tough group but definately improved from last year.
22) Djbouti - Just bad and wreckless. I feel bad for there goalie.
23) Somalia (21) - I don't think I've seen a worse team in this tournament ever.
2) Laos (1)Laos still look good and play good soccer they are still one of my favorites to win the cup. Tough first game Vs. Afghan but I'm sure they'll just get stronger as the tournament goes on.
3) Afghanistan (7) - If the core if there team will make it every game (Mitch,Bobbi,Contenti,Josip,Diakiw) I think they have a chance of making a run.

Updated Power Rankings
Here are my new power rankings. Where I had them in my previous rankings is in parentheses.
1. France (1) - I had them number one before and have done nothing to dissuade me from that. Easily handled last years champions Sudan.
2. Laos (2) - Yeah they drew Afghanistan but I think that is more a tribute to Afghanistan's skill than anything.
3. Afghanistan (11) - Surprised everyone I think. It was only one game but they sent a message.
4. Nigeria (7) - Nigeria look even better than I thought they would and I believe I had them higher than both.
5. Canada (3) - A hair between them and Nigeria. Can't put them ahead of Nigeria after the loss though.
6. ROI (5) - A drop of one for them. Not as impressive as I thought they might have been in their first game but still crushed Scotland.
7. Poland (6) -
About what I expected. I haven't thought very highly of their
competition yet so they will need to beat someone better to move them up
the charts.
8. Sudan (4) - Beaten easily by France. They seem to be missing some guys and are just way to erratic to have any higher.
9. Jamaica (12) - They beat Northern Ireland easily so there is that. A lot of tests to come.
10. Colombia (10) - One easy victory for them so far. Look poised to get out of their group.
11. El Salvador (8) - I did not expect to have El Salvador this low. On paper they look great but they are missing a killer instinct.
12. Germany (9) - I suspect they are better than this but I all have to go on is a pitiful performance against South Korea.
13. Italy (15) - Holding El Salvador to a close game is enough to bring them up 2 places.
14. Norway (14) - Their game against Hungary was one of the worst of the tournament so far. Showed nothing.
15. Hungary (13) - I thought they would be better. were ok against Poland and they the Norway game. Yawn.
16. Greece - Didn't hang with Poland quite as well as Hungary did. That leaves them here.
17. South Korea (23) - Up from the very bottom. Hung around with Germany in what for me has been the biggest surprise so far.
18. Scotland (20) - Have them just ahead of Northern Ireland only because they have a win. Might be different otherwise.
19. Northern Ireland (18) - They have had 2 very difficult games. Would look for them to improve from here.
20. Serbia (17) - Lost to Scotland and looked really poor while doing it. Losing to Scotland is not good for your ranking.
21. Portugal (19) - They should not be this bad but there were just edging out Djibouti. Come on boys.
22. Djibouti (22) - Nailed it in my pre rankings. Just a couple abysmal performances. Have shown nothing and seem to barely have a roster. Would be first in a studs up Power Rankings.

Observations So Far
Alright finally getting around to a write up actually talking about what I have seen so far.
1. A couple teams have surprised me with how well they have played. Afghanistan would be the first. They looked really good against Laos. Mitch Bauche looked great moving the ball quickly and controlling the mid. Another surprising team was Sudan and not in a good way. They seem to be missing a couple important guys which resulted in them changing their tactics. They looked harmless against France.
2. Nigeria looked really good against Canada. They are quick and they now have the ability to control the ball and keep possession . If they can keep it up consistently they are a legitimate challenger.
3. So of the teams I have seen I would say France, Laos, Afghan, Nigeria and Canada all have a legitimate chance to win it all. This is one of the most wide open years to date.
4. Just below these teams are the playoff contenders who could upset one of the top teams. I see them as ROI, Jamaica, Poland, Sudan. I am sure there will be a clamoring for Sudan and Poland to be higher but I just have not seen enough out of them to say they are elite. Poland lack fire power as of now and Sudan look out of sorts.
5. I have no idea what to make of ES. They played pretty well and had tons of possession but possession does not equate to goals. They need to sort things out in the opositions third if they want to do anything.
6. On the Women's side it looks wide open this year. Scotland, Ukraine, and Portugal all look good so it will be tight getting out of that group. Germany were not the powerhouse I thought they were while Ireland look better than I expected. Should get very interesting.
7. Power Ranking the best goals I have seen so far I would say. 1) Tong Tongs Bicycle Kick 2) Ryan McGavigan's Delicate Chip for ROI 3) Paco's scorcher from half for Colombia and 4) Ronny's bender for ES.
8. Most absurd thing I have heard so far..... Scotland keeper claiming the referee cost them the game against ROI...... you lost 8-2. How did the ref score 8 goals? Give your head a shake.
9. I did not see the Canada -Nigeria game as I was in the dressing room but it seems like it was everything I expected it to be.
10. Since I did not see Nigeria vs Canada, the best game I have seen was Laos vs Afghanistan. It was just played on a different level. Possession was crisp and controlled and it actually resembled a game of soccer. Not excited to play those 2 teams.

11. I mentioned this before but Afghans Mitch Bauche is the player I have been most impressed by. So calm on the ball and plays the #10 roll perfectly. Great to watch.
12. What happened to Germany. That was a downright pathetic showing against South Korea. Every time they looked like they were going to get up to speed they stalled out. I expect they will improve greatly as the tournament moves on but that was a bad one.
13. Most improved team do look to be South Korea though. If a year ago they had held Germany to under 10 goals it would have been a miracle. Let alone 6-4. Scotland also look better than they have in the past. Already having a win under their belt.
14. What was happening when that South Korea player got injured? He got up and started wandering through the net. It was both bizarre and humourous but in all seriousness I hope he is ok.
15. After last night I think it is fair to say Somalia are the worst team in the tournament this year. They just have little to offer soccer wise. Their keeper and his multiple tumbles deserve a mention though. Guy is like a plastic bag caught in the wind. Tumbling any time someone come near. It's surprisingly entertaining.
Alright that is all for now. If you have any questions or want further analysis on a team or game let me know and I happily oblige.
