Power Rankings by Not Anonymous

1) France – Looked dominant all tournament and never lost a game, despite having some tough opponents. Undoubtedly the top team this year, finally. Congrats to Les blues for an excellent tournament.
2) Poland – Only other team to go undefeated in round robin and made it to the final. Undoubtedly #2. They had a tough road to the final and they had to beat many top teams to get there (Canada, Nigeria, Sudan, Jamaica). Without a doubt the best keeper in the tournament as well.
3) Jamaica – Adding Collins and Brown may not have been a move that brought more popularity to Jamaica, bringing in the most infamous players in the tourney, but it sure made them a contender. That attack was relentless and they would have been in the final if Michal didn’t save Poland several times near the end of that game.
4) Laos – Here is where the criticism will start to pile on. But look at their numbers in the round robin from a tough pool. Their only loss was to Jamaica who was a shootout away from the final, and their goal differential was +20, with only 5 goals allowed. 5 goals given up while playing vs Josip and the DB and Collins connection. They were a better team than Afghanistan who just came out a little flat in one game.
5) Canada – Yes, two teams who didn’t make the playoff rounds are ranked 4 and 5. Again, Canada lost to Poland, the silver medalists, 2-1 in a very close game where they outplayed Poland for the most part. Their goal differential was +15, 14 goals better than Nigeria. If not for getting caught flat footed in their first game (or even if a call or two went their way at the end of that game) they would have been playing in the next round. All around they are a better team than Nigeria.
6) Nigeria – Just because I said Canada was better, does not mean I am trying to belittle Nigeria. They were a good team this year and proved that they deserved to be where they were. Taking the eventual champions to a shootout in the quarters was phenomenal. Ultimately, they are less skilled than the teams above, but their up-tempo style with quick counter attacks was enough to catch both Canada and France (two of the most technically skilled teams in the tourney) off guard.
7) Afghanistan – They picked and chose when to show up. They chose correctly in the case of Laos and Jamaica (though I don’t know how much effort Jamaica put into their game, given that #1 was already locked up and an Afghan win knocked out the perennial finalists, Laos) but they didn’t seem to show up with the same team vs Germany and France. Consistency was their issue.
8) Sudan – Both France and Poland put them in their place. They were dominant against ES, but their game against Italy was not nearly as convincing as was expected. Regardless, they play hard and they are exciting to watch. It was a shame was happened last Wednesday, thanks to a few players on both Poland and Sudan, but I hope the majority of the Sudanese team comes back next year with a desire to redeem themselves.
9) Republic of Ireland – Not the team they used to be without Mike, DB and Jonah, but they were still strong. They gave Jamaica a great game in the quarters, but they couldn’t even take first place in the weakest pool in the tournament.
10) Germany – Came out slow vs South Korea and narrowly got by, then Laos and Jamaica put them in their place. However a tie vs Afghan made us remember that they are still capable of playing with the top teams on any given day.
11) Serbia – I know they beat ROI, but aside from that, they merely beat mediocre teams (and lost to Scotland). Ultimately what determined their position for me, is how poorly they performed in the quarters, while ROI played a very solid game vs Jamaica.
12) El Salvador – They were never expected to advance, with Sudan and France standing in their way, but they were expected to go down with more of a fight. They looked more even with Italy than they did with France and Sudan.
13) Hungary – Impressive showing this year given a tough pool. The expectation for them was maybe pulling out at least one win. What they did was tie Norway and then beat Greece and Nigeria. They have some talented players and I wouldn’t be shocked to see them make the next round in the next few years.
14) Italy – Proved that last year’s strong showing wasn’t a fluke, by staying in their games with Sudan and ES. They are not the perennial 0-5 team of the past but they also proved that they are not strong enough to be a playoff team yet.
15) Scotland – They are definitely are improving, with a very young squad, but they were caught in the middle of the pack in a very weak pool. This makes me think that, if put in a tougher pool, they would still be much closer to the bottom.
16) Portugal – Very similar to above. They are a very mediocre team. They can beat other mediocre teams, sometimes, but I don’t see them doing much more.
17) Colombia – Disappointment of the tournament. I fully expected them to come out second in their pool (behind ROI) with relative ease (and then get crushed by first in pool B) but they just played poor. Apparently teams figured out their strategy of getting Paco the ball and hoping for the best.
18) Norway – Unless they add something to their team, I predict a steady decline over the next couple years, ultimately ending in them folding. They need to stop thinking of their current roster as a championship team (that was 6 years ago) and start bringing in some new, younger talent.
19) Northern Ireland – See Norway above. They are just not a good team.
20) Greece – If they weren’t trying so hard to get under the skin of the teams they were playing, they would lose by more every game. Their excessively physical play and goalkeeping are the only things that kept them close.
21) South Korea – Almost looked ready to upset Germany, then just fell off the map completely. Maybe the threats from North Korea had them rattled, but more likely they just lack the skill to play in this tournament. I love the multi-culturalism in this tourney and I would like to see them stick around, but only if they can significantly boost their talent level for next year.
22) Djibouti – 0-5 in the worst pool is a pretty good way to solidify your spot at the bottom. Please improve your team for next year if you plan to stick around.
23) Somalia – Not a single close game and then they wrap up their tournament by not showing up to their final game. I am very much against the idea of banning teams like Sudan and Poland for their brawl, since that was sparked by a few hot-headed players in the middle of a very intense game. Punish those players but not the entire teams. However, in Somalia’s case, when an entire team decides to just not show up and not tell anyone, I don’t see why they deserve to be back. Sure some players should still be allowed to play and I don’t think the Somalian country should be banned, but the group managing the team should not be allowed to manage another team, at least for a year or two.

I understand that many do not agree with me and I encourage feedback, but let’s try to keep it productive rather than just telling me I’m an idiot. I put a bit of work in to writing this, so if you want to call me an idiot, at least put some work into that and come up with a creative way to do so.

Finals Preview

Women’s Final Scotland vs. Germany

This is going to be a close game but Scotland is likely the favourite As a new team, they have proven themselves to be strong competitors in this tournament, finishing first in their strong pool and defeating Poland in the semi finals. At the same time, Germany finished first in their pool and beat the three time defending champs, Ukraine. Scotland is going into the final game with 29 goals and has current leading goal scorer Tayler Firth. Germany currently has 16 goals and has Meagan Cormier, golden boot winner for the past two years. Scotland is a younger, quicker team, while Germany has experienced vets with their strength through the midfield. Both teams will have to play their best in order to come out on top! Scotland 3-2.

Men's Final France vs Poland

These are 2 teams with very different strategies. France are a calm composed team that will want the ball at their feet and will build from the back. Possession is the name of their game and I imagine they will have a lot of it. Poland on the other hand will out work and out tackle to try and get the win. They are a run and gun style team that will try and attack on the counter. Which should make this very interesting. Unfortunately, what I actually think this game is going to come down to is depth. France has had a relatively easy way to the final beating Nigeria and then having a walkabout/nap against Afghan while winning 6 nothing. Poland on the other hand had to literally scrap out a win against Sudan and then took a few casualties in their game against Jamaica. France continue to get stronger adding Benno. While it seems as though Poland have lost Sarazin, as well as sustaining injuries to both Jay and Dane. I think in the end those injuries will be too much too overcome so I am picking France. 3-1.

Good luck to everyone involved.

Semi Final Preview

Scotland vs. Poland

Scotland are the obvious favourites in this one, having finished first in their difficult group. They are skilled, organized and have scored goals from every position including 7 (?) from Taylor Firth. Scotland was my pick to win the whole thing so it sucks having to play them in semis!

Erica Hindmarsh and Jenelle Zapski have been huge acquisitions for Poland and if they get the ball will be able to score. Poland’s only chance will be to play tough defense and create some chaos by out-hustling Scotland. They have to play like they have nothing to lose, which they don’t. I’m still not convinced it will be enough. 4-2 Scotland. 

Ukraine vs. Germany

Perennial finalists and three-time defending champions Ukraine face their opponent from the past two finals. Ukraine has looked strong with a record of 3-0-1, coming out of a tough group in second on goal differential. Their biggest challenge came in the opener vs. Scotland when they went down 2-0 and defensively looked questionable but came back to tie the game. Ukraine has a multitude of veteran players who have spent years playing together and never stop attacking. Goals have come from all over the field and they have the advantage in net whether it’s Possberg or Anderson

Germany haven’t looked like themselves, dropping a game to Netherlands and playing a couple other close ones - they wouldn’t have made it out of Group A. They rely heavily on golden boot contender Megan Cormier; however they also have a core of veteran players with the ability to shut teams down and make big plays when needed.  

Expect this to be a physical game. If Ukraine can shut down Cormier goals will be difficult to come by for Germany and I don’t see them outlasting the attack of Ukraine. 3-1 Ukraine. 

France Vs. Afghanistan

Afghanistan is heavily reliant on their core of U of S midfielders, luckily for them I believe that they will all be making the trip down. Josip is a very good striker and with Bobbi, Mitch and Contenti behind him it makes him a way more dangerous. France are yet to tie or lose a game yet but they havent looked the most convincing doing so. France are going to need Benno and Mason to shut down Josip to give Les Bleus a chance to win this game.

I think both teams match up fairly evenly. Afghanistan have superior goalkeeping and midfield. France has the experience and a better defense. I have a feeling there will be alot of goals in this one. 6-4 France.

Jamaica Vs. Poland

After Wednesdays mess people were not talking about how Poland were crushing Sudan 4-1 until the game was abandoned. Poland have yet to drop a point and after coming of a crushing victory in the quarters they look like they will crush everyone who steps in the way. Jamaica advancing to the semi's for the first time are just living the underdog dream, I dont see it continuing past tonight.

Both teams possess great goalkeeping and both defenses have been solid. Poland have the edge on scoring from crosses and I feel this is where they will win the game. Poland 3-1.

In addition, the WCP Cup Organizing Committee would like to comment on the circumstances of the game between Team Poland and Team Sudan which has been getting some social media discussion as well as media attention.

During the middle of the second half there was a scuffle between the two teams that resulted from a hard tackle followed by an equally hard retaliation.  Various players from both benches came together with a little pushing and shoving.  While there were individuals from both teams that were involved in the scuffle, there were also a significant number of players and coaches from both teams that kept cool heads and assisted in defusing the situation.  As a result of the scuffle, the referee analyzed the situation and ejected four players (two from each team) from the game.

The WCP Cup Organizing Committee would like to be clear that while a scuffle like this is not a typical occurrence and not what the WCP Cup multicultural sporting event likes to see, it was by no means an event that went beyond the normal scuffles that happen in all levels of competitive sporting events (soccer, hockey, basketball, co-ed touch football, etc.).  The referee dealt with the situation, applied the laws of the game and the game resumed play.

The game resumed play and approximately 15 minutes later, an entirely separate incident occurred that was not associated with the previous scuffle.  Another hard tackle occurred by a Team Sudan player against a Team Poland player.  As a result of the tackle, the referee game the Team Sudan player a red card and ejected him from the game.  As a result of the ejection, the Team Sudan player struck the referee.

At the time the referee was struck, there was only a short amount of time left in the game and as a result, a decision by the officiating crew was made to end the game.  Prior to this decision, the Team Sudan player left the field of play (which is required as a result of an ejection).

The WCP Cup Organizing Committee would like to be clear that the incident where the referee was struck was not associated with the previous team scuffle.  When the game was ended, both teams very admirably separated themselves in order to make sure further incidents did not occur. Both teams eventually made their way back to their respective dressing rooms without incident. The fans and cultural communities for both Team Poland as well as Team Sudan, while stunned by the way the game ended, remained respectful and positive and stayed true to the WCP Cup vision that all cultural groups can come together in a respectful and peaceful way.

The WCP Cup Organizing Committee takes the position that the striking by a player of an official is outside of the scope of the game and as such, the local authorities were contacted by the WCP Cup Organizing Committee.  The player who struck the referee had already left the Team Sudan dressing room prior to Team Sudan as a whole returning following the game being called and as such was not able to be interviewed by the local authorities upon their arrival.  The WCP Cup Organizing Committee has cooperated with local authorities and will continue to cooperate in the future if so requested.

The WCP Cup Organizing Committee would like to thank the various members of both Team Poland and Team Sudan who assisted in calming the situation down and making sure that further incidents did not result.  The WCP Cup Discipline Committee will review the five ejections and will deal with those situations as is deemed appropriate.

Yours truly,
The WCP Cup Organizing Committee

Recap

I haven't been doing any posting this tournament for my own reasons, but I will address last night's brawl.

So what happened? (Anyone who has a different viewpoint, feel free to voice it) Poland and Sudan met last year in the quarterfinals, and it was a scrappy game. This year was quite similar. This year's quarterfinal had a lot of emotions running high, as the Poland fans were out in full force with songs and chants, while the Sudan fans were as passionate as ever. At midway through the second half, Poland was up 3-1, and that's when the game really took a turn for the worst. A very hard slide tackle on a Polish player in front of the Poland bench set off their team, who proceeded to get the Sudan player out of the way. This set off the Sudan team, who rushed over to defend their player. Both teams then started pushing back and forth, and then the chaos started. Refs being pushed, punches being thrown, I was even told there was flying ninja kick. I'm surprised no one walked away with worse injuries. The coaches, the referees, and the players were all involved in some way. The Sudan coach was livid at the referee, and had to have his team hold him back. Multiple players on both teams were angry, and had to have their calm players settle everyone down. Eventually, both teams went back to their benches. The referee gave two red cards to Poland, and two red cards to Sudan. The ejected players made their way out, and the ref decided to resume the game at that point. Bad idea. Tensions were sky-high, and with about four minutes left, it was clear that this game wasn't going to end quietly. Poland scored one more goal to make it 4-1, and it didn't take long before another Sudan player put in an extremely hard tackle on a Polish player. It was inevitable. The ref, in an effort to assert his authority, held up a third Sudan red card. At midfield in plain view of the entire crowd, and not a millisecond later, the Sudan player punched the referee in the face, knocking him out. Officials and volunteers rushed to his side, and the crowd was on its feet. Fans were screaming at Sudan, and fans were getting into arguments in the crowd. Sudan left the field soon after, escorted by volunteers and security. Fans booed Sudan to their dressing room. They were yelling at the players, antagonizing them, and understandably some Sudan players yelled back and got into tussles with them. It was then clear that Sudan had gone from tournament darling to scourge of soccer...quite the turnaround. Once Sudan was in, Poland left the field to their dressing room for a very quiet victory celebration. Police were called, and were reviewing pictures and video to determine what the next steps will be. It was very unfortunate, because soccer fans at the facility received a great night of soccer that ended with nothing soccer-related whatsoever.

Poland and Sudan played a very good game for the most part, but it devolved into mockery of a soccer game. It was a shameful way to end the night. Fans also have to take accountability for their actions, and there were many awful comments directed at both teams. Not just in the last quarterfinal, but in all the games. This tournament is supposed to be a multicultural celebration of soccer, and on an Anti-Bullying day like yesterday, it devolved into a disgrace. So what happens next? Long-term suspensions will happen, but for who? These are the questions the organizing commitee will be dealing with for awhile, and rest assured that disciplinary action will be taken.

Last night was, and always will be, a bad mark on the tournament. But all is not lost. It's up to the fans, the remaining teams, the volunteers, and the cultural communities to bring the respect back to the remainder of this tournament. Be supportive of all the teams, regardless of their skin color,  their language, or their skill. Hatefulness has no place in this tournament. For years, the WCP Cup has brought cultures together fantastically. I've met tons of great people from different communities, and I've had a blast sitting in the stands surrounded by fans of different countries. This tournament is an amazing event. Last night is over, so let's make the best of the remainder of this tournament. It won't be forgotten, but we need to learn from this. Cheer loud for the team you support, talk to the people beside you, and have some fun. Don't forget what this tournament is about, and do your part to make it great.

Brief Quarterfinal Recap

France vs. Nigeria - 6-6 (France shoot-out victory 4-2)
France came out flat, letting in two early goals, but charged back hard to make it 3-2 before half. Nigeria kept pressing though, and played very well. The game went back and forth, with France ahead 6-5 in the closing minute. Unfortunately for France, Nigeria was able to knock one in off the crossbar right at the very end. In shootout, France was able to finally claim victory.

Afghanistan vs. Serbia - 5-1 Afghanistan
Afghanistan was in control from the start, although Serbia did cut the lead to 2-1 just after halftime in hopes of making it interesting. Afghanistan answered right back, and didn't look back.

Ireland vs. Jamaica - 3-1 Jamaica
Ireland came out firing at the start, and looked to be in control of the game. They were possessing the ball quite well, and getting some chances, but couldn't put many away. They look the lead 1-0, but Jamaica tied it 1-1 just before halftime. The game evened out in the second half, and looked like it could go either way. Jamaica struck first, going up 2-1 about halfway through the second half. An own goal sealed Ireland's fate near the end of the game.

Poland vs. Sudan - Poland 4-1
The evening's most anticipated game was shockingly one-sided. Sudan could barely get a shot away, as Poland's defence locked down Sudan's striking force. Poland, on the other hand, buried their chances, and looked comfortably in control. Up 3-1 in a very scrappy game, the Polish bench cleared with an exceptionally hard tackle. Sudan's bench cleared and a fight ensued before the game could be settled down. Red cards were given, and Poland scored once more to seal the victory soon after. The game ended when a Sudan player punched the referee.

Quarterfinal Previews

France vs Nigeria

France come in to this game having pretty much had their way with every team they've played. France are the strongest team I have seen so far. They have the most depth and are all around solid. Nigeria seem to have peaked against Canada and have looked less impressive since them. Allowing 6 goals against Hungary does not look good on a resume. Not saying they don't have a chance to win but where France has depth Nigeria does not. Ultimately I believe France will expose some of Nigeria's weaknesses, specifically in the back. 4-1 France.

Afghanistan vs Serbia

I still don't exactly comprehend how Serbia made it into this position. Except for Darko scoring some goals I really haven't seen a lot that has impressed me from them. Really if they are in a different pool they are not in the knockout stages.  Afghanistan on the other hand have come out of a very tough Group B. Afghan look solid through their U of S midfield as well as their very solid goalkeeping from Diakiw. I would say Afghans one weakness is they are very reliant on Josip scoring if he can be shut down they may be in trouble. However, I don't see Serbia being able to do this. 5-2 Afghan.

Jamaica vs ROI

It is widely rumoured that I will throw this game so I should be able to tell you exactly how this will play out. Jamaica doesn't have a lot of depth. They have relied heavily on Mike and Dave to score most their goals and that will be tough to do against ROI. They will need some other players to step up. Defensively though Jamaica has been much stronger than even I expected. ROI will counter Dave and Mike with Dwayne and S Pat. That is going to make Mike and Dave job much, much tougher than it has been so far. ROI has enough fire power to score with any team it's just a matter of whether their keeper can make some saves. I think he will be able too. ROI 4-3. Lee doesn't get spanked.

Poland vs Sudan

This is the game that I am most excited for. After getting blown out by France, Sudan have looked much more like the team that won the tournament last year. Most if not all of their top players have returned and they looked poised to make another run. Coming into this tournament I predicted that Poland would have trouble scoring goals. They have. What I didn't count on was how well they have played defensively. They have worked as solidly as a unit as any team in the tournament and Michal has stood on his head. This one is tough for me to call as Poland keep proving me wrong and Sudan have looked like monsters since the 1st game. This really is tough.... ummmmm....... 2-1 Sudan... no Poland.... no Sudan. Geez....
