I'm getting sick of this tournament. I'm getting sick of studs up tackles, and two foot tackles. They are in every game. The worst tackler in the tournament is Aleks Wosik on Poland. Makes me sick. I saw that young boy on Greece get destroyed a few times too.

Surprise, surprise. Yes SOME of the ROI players were too drunk for their own good last year during one game, but still there was a game and the result was a close one. Somalia didn't show up and didn't notify anyone, how can you compare the two?<br /><br />Maybe SOME of the ROI players should have not gotten so drunk, but there are countless amounts of players that play games in the tournament who have enjoyed a drink or two prior to their match as this is a <b>RECREATIONAL EVENT</b>.<br /><br />Say what you will about ROI, but we made it through to the quarters while <i>"powerhouse"</i> teams like Laos and Canada are on the outside looking in. A team like Nigeria stumbled and lost to Hungary and Hungary lost to Canada... so really anything can happen on any given night, but to please you I think that ROI deserves to be 23 on the power rankings as that would be justified.<br /><br />-JulioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057172811780038014.post-85819258213727448222013-04-07T12:52:29.190-07:002013-04-07T12:52:29.190-07:00Somalia is banned for life.

Do you guys think it's fair if say its 1-0? What if ES scored 10 goals and it was 10-0. Not fair for their overall +/-. <br /><br />Another thing to note is if Somalia get fined or they get banned, they can just create a team with another name like all these African teams do each year. New name, same group of players. I doubt that will do anything.

It's not fair to the ones who did show and to future talented Somalian immigrants to be unable to compete for their country down the road just because some other guys didn't compete honourably to the end.<br /><br />Also, I hope people (following the lead of Anon 9:48) recognize the value of some of the lesser teams in this tournament who do play honourably. There has been lots of arrogant statements in the past criticizing the skill of certain teams and saying that this is reason not to let them play. I think now we see what we want to eliminate - dishonourable play is 100 times worse than unskilled play! My hats off to the teams who play their hearts out, compete to the end yet don't achieve as much as they had hoped...your presence adds value to our tournament!

It's the only fair way to do it, and the group should be based off of the teams that actually show up for games and play against each other. Somalia not only created problems by not showing up for a game, but they embarassed themselves by entering this tournament and will forever be a stain. We will no longer use the word embarassing, but the word somalia instead. here is a sentence that explains: <br />" France really somalia'd Somalia in the wcp cup this year " Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057172811780038014.post-37808568285563548852013-04-05T11:35:04.350-07:002013-04-05T11:35:04.350-07:00If you're advocating Somalia to be banned for ...If you're advocating Somalia to be banned for 3-5 years for not showing up, shouldn't a similar penalty be given to Ireland for showing up drunk and making a mockery of the bronze medal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057172811780038014.post-68543905557009381362013-04-05T11:20:47.623-07:002013-04-05T11:20:47.623-07:00Ignoring the games against somalia is really the o...Ignoring the games against somalia is really the only way to do it.

Banning individual players seens unfair to those who did show up, and for those who had legitimate reasons not to attend. With all due respect, I don't think teams will be lining up to sign their players in future years, so I really don't see the potential of them playing with other teams as problematic.<br /><br />-NateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
