Today's Games

U12G Ireland - ES

U12B Argentina - Germany

U14B Canada - England

U16G Brazil - England

U16B Italy - ES

3:00 Womens Ireland - Canada

4:00 Womens Poland - Holland

5:00 Mens Colombia - Djibouti
We all know what my thoughts on Djibouti are. Colombia has a habit of play to the level of their opponent but I think they should easily get through this one. 6-2 Colombia.

6:00 Mens Ireland - Scotland
ROI are missing quite a few guys but this should still be a cake walk for them. I predicted double digits but I am going to back off that a bit. I am thinking 9-1 ROI

7:00 Mens Poland - Hungary
This is my upset special of the day. Hungary apparently is bringing in university players. Poland have no Jay and no Brett. I don't think Poland will lose but look for it to be tighter than it should be. 3-0 Poland.

 8:00 Mens Jamaica - Northern Ireland
I play on Jamaica and I still have no idea what to expect. I could see us pulling it together and trouncing them or I could see us losing. We are all over the map. I will find a medium and say 4-1 Jamaica.

9:00 Mens Canada - Nigeria
I have pegged this as the game of the weekend and once again I think I am spot on as the Sudan - France game disappointed. Canada is not a team that is going to be able to run up a score. They grind out wins and hope Jarvis or Tavis can create something special. Nigeria are better than people give them credit for. It will only take them 4 goals to win this game. This will be a great one. 3-2 Canada.

10:00 Mens Laos - Afghanistan
I don't like Afghan. There I said it. They do however have some quality players in Josip, Mitch, Contenti, Nicholat and the highly coveted, highly paid  Diakiw. Is this enough to hang with Laos? No. 7-2 Laos.

ya that kid is such a cry baby, in league play for Uno Mas all he did was complain and try to act tough,

I think he will have a hard time acting tough against ROI. I'd have to think that ROI has one of the biggest teams out there, and some of those boys like to make some tough challenges.

Hungary must have really improved, didn't you predict they would lose 100-0 to Poland last year?

Actually laos couldnt hang with afghanistan, and but for one of many bad flop calls which chico converted, laos would have lost.

The laos midfield absolutely outclassed laos

D-Jibouti goal keeper stood on his head in the first men's game tonight. Anyone watch it? That guy was the only one doing anything out there. Very impressive if you ask me. Shots were coming from absolutely everywhere. Should have been at least 15 goals scored.

Laos got outplayed by afgahn and didn't look like the same Laos team at all....and Jamaica score didn't depict how close the game really was..a few bad breaks for northern Ireland...they looked better than I expected

David Brown is fat, slow, and lazy. Did you see that guy out there last night? Why were you cherry picking the whole game Brown? Try moving to the ball. You can't get the ball standing behind the defender. Lazy and disgusting to watch. Did you think your fancy earings were going to blind the defense and win you the ball!? HA HA. People talk about all these amazing Saskatoon players like Brown. Nothing special. Go home.

Oh wow aside from from the last 2 games. the predictions were actual accurate. For once I am impressed.

Afghan looked impressive last night. They impressed me. I was wowed by the skill of that team. Laos looked like a bunch of idiots. Chico doesn't pass the ball, and he thinks he can do everything by himself. The Sasktoon pick ups Laos has did nothing. Half of them complained after every call against them. Laos is full of a bunch of over-rated clowns. Take up some acting classes.

afghan played a really good game, and had a well thought plan to shut down laos attack. there midfield def out worked laos. Afghan has some solid players like there winger gum i think, contenti, troy, mitch, bobbi and the keeper mark. They are just as skilled as laos, but may not have the depth as laos does, cuz most of those players played the whole game. I think laos had more (scoring) chances to win the game as they hit 2 posts, and mark made some unreal saves, if it wasnt for him they would have lost. afgahn had there best chance when the ball got played across the box. but the first afghan goal was an absolute horrible goal, and a fluke if i may add. anyways it was a good game to watch and this group can get very interesting as the teams will be battling to make it out!

Okay. This year I will say N. Ireland is a young group of guys working hard together. They didn't bring in guys from all over the province like most teams did these are men with skill and play with heart of the game. But just wait they do have a few secret weapons up their sleaves to can't wait to see the turn out them.

Anonymous said...

N. Ireland is full of a bunch of guys who really don't have any clue how to play soccer.

Firstly ... their goalie is a bum ... he's so weak. Secondly, they have Allan Hogg playing defense? Who are we kiding here!?. That team is useless. Luck is the only way they will win any games. All you ANON bloggers need to stop hyping up N. Ireland. They are nothing special and never will be. THEY SUCK.

Try talking about something that matters. N. Ireland is a team full of weak CUFC players from mens div 3. A bunch of dirty bags who go out to hurt people.

Anonymous said...

anon: 13:14 you are correct

Anonymous said...

N. Ireland will always suck if Al Hogg is on the team. That greasy fool needs to quit playing soccer. Your glory days or whatever you want to call them Al are done. STOP trying to play a game you can't play anymore. Maybe your team will have a chance at winning if you quit. Try to manage a team not play. Better luck next year cause you and your amazing team you brag about are finished.

Anonymous said...

Hehehe well N Ireland has 4 players from the CUFC the rest is the cream of Div 5. And just cause you hate Alan, don't hate the young guys.

Anonymous said...

ANON: 20:07 you have officially made N. Ireland look like a bunch of bums. Are you serious. Made up of a bunch of DIV 5 players. Man, that's so shitty. What a joke. Regina's DIV 5 is like Saskatoon's DIV 10. Oh wait ... we don't have a DIV 10. FOOLS. N. Ireland blows chunks. P.S. I don't know who this Al guy is, and I don't really care. Obviously he's not that good because people would have heard of him.

Anonymous said...

some idiot is bashing Alan for what reason i don't know, i'm perplexed that there is so much hate in this cup and beyond imagination. People need to chill down a little.

Anonymous said...

hhehe and S'toon div 5 is on level with EPL, all superstars come from S'toon. Can't wait to watch you on TSN in the real World Cup. Quit hatin' and show what do you have on the field. Ohh wait, you don't play!

This amazes me how people on here have nothing better to do than bass other people and teams. This guy must obviously not play or did and got cut from some team. I kinda hope this guy foes play cause I wouldn't think twice about taking him out in a game. Would be nice to see him do the funky chicken on the pitch. And if you look at a lot of the teams this year, they are made up of div 2, 3, and 4 players . yet they find a way to win and be competitive. Laos for example has lots of div 3 players on there team as I play against most of them...and I'm guessing because of your big hard on for northern ireland that they are the ones to cut you....so I think you should go back to being a spectator and shhhhhhhhh....and go try out for them next year again. I'm sure they need a water boy or pylon or somthing...as for Northern Ireland, good luck...You guys have a young team and I have seen some potential....except a few bad breaks and a cherry picker ( not sure his name from Jamaica) that flopped alot, that game was closer than the score showed....except for afgahn, no one has really looked overly good in this pool....good luck to all

Ok I've sat back and listened to a teamate get bashed long enough. For all you anons get a
backbone and put your name on you comments. I know this post won't change the usless people out there, but leave leave the trash talk on the field.

Ryan S. #5 N. Ireland

P.S. Go Ulster!!

N. Ireland is a joke. Because of the occasional fluke game against a WAY better team (IE: a couple late steaming hot garbage goals on Jamaica mistakes they fizzle out a 4-4 tie a couple years ago as their crowning acheivement in the tournament) these clowns including they pompous clown Bill that runs the team and over hype themselves as the next champs more than Dufus Hudsdal does for Norway. If N. Ireland wants to be taken seriously they need to turf Bill the Thrill and tell Alan to get a hair cut and get a bench job and step aside to they can rebuild with something better than an average Div. 4 team.

You need some facts before you start running your mouth...n Ireland out played Jamaica that year and Jamaica got lot lucky for a tie...and 2nd off they did beat ROI which is more than 3/4 of the teams out there...whenever other teams upset good teams, they get credit, when n Ireland does, it's a fluke...im not saying they are a top contender, or even close to it...but they definitely aren't as bad as you think...yes they have a couple people on the team that shouldn't be there, but that isn't the whole team....and please remind me what, if any, team you play for?? Cause you sure talk a lot of crap...its people like you that should do us all a favor and go back to your little whole you crawled out of....

Anonymous said...

Maybe people are bashing Alan so much because it is well deserved. The guy got like 6 mins of playing time and had 2 (if not 3) goals scored while he was on defense. He was left with his pants down. The guy really needs to cut his hair and realize he just does not have the goods to keep up out there.

Anonymous said...

N I was holing on till he got on the field. hehe what a radical mistake from their coach. And that big guy #3 Brown made him look like a little girl!!

Anonymous said...

I totally understand that some people should not be on certain teams, but to cut down a whole team cause of one player isn't right. Yes I can Prob say northern ireland would be a better team without 1 or 2 people (won't mention any names) most of those players were dealt that card and are giving it there all so I don't think it's fair to judge the whole team by a couple people

Anonymous said...

Brown keeps falling down every 5 min and waiting for the calls. Cherry picker that stands at the edge of box, gets the ball and falls down and hopes for a call. Sounds like the way to play, if other teams pick that up then he will be useless again.

Keep the the cheap talk coming its quite funny

Still N.I. #3 he did make you look like a girl, and I think I saw girls defending better than you! Your positioning sucks, you can't handle the preassure. You and your bud AL sould hold hands togather.

Anonymous said...

I don't know who #3 is for northern lreland and i'm saying he isn't a bad defender, but the way that brown guy plays is just brutal...its one thing to try and dive to get a call here and there. But to do it all game and then when you do have a chance to take it in you have a wide open net from 2 feet away and miss the net. everyone talks so highly of this guy, but I'm waiting to see any kind of skill from this guy. I haven't seen much that has been impressing with that whole pool from any teams.

Anonymous said...

Oops, I meant I'm not saying he isn't a bad defender...i agree with you on that

Anonymous said...

David Brown has lost his touch. He sits back and cheery picks. He waits for the ball to come to him. Not the Brown people wanted to see. He's washed up. Time to call it quits Brown. That knee injury has ruined you. You won't be the same. Sorry bud.
