Day 3 Preview
Group A
Matches
00:00 | ZackBusner (GER) vs. Zeguiba (BRA)
00:00 | JokerRO (AUS) vs. 1987518LPF (CHN)
After a breakout performance in the previous round to guarantee qualification into the round of 32 JokerRO is going out wearing a new strip (See Below), after losing a drinking contest against the Irish during celebrations last night. A point will seal top spot while a loss opens the spot up to the winner of Zackbusner and Zeguiba. This match is effectively a playoff match with Zeguiba requiring a win to qualify, while a draw will be enough for Zackbusner. Lets just hope the ref wont spoil such an important match with a dubious goalline decision.
Prediction
00:00 | ZackBusner (GER) vs. Zeguiba (BRA) - DRAW - Zackbusner to "park the bus"
00:00 | JokerRO (AUS) vs. 1987518LPF (CHN) - DRAW - 1987518LPF to win after JokerRO's excessive celebrations last night.
Group B
Matches
00:00 | FERNET (IND) vs. diego36arg (ARG)
00:00 | Felipe Abe (BRA) vs. geangr (BRA)
The situation is clear in this group, FERNET must lose and Felipe Abe must win all while still making up a a 4 goal difference defiect. Can it be done. Who knows? Ill take a stab at no one, not even god himself. One thing is for sure though, diego36arg and geangr wont make it easy or atleast we hope the South American teams won't tank to give Felipe Abe a Shot .
Prediction
00:00 | FERNET (IND) vs. diego36arg (ARG) - DRAW - last minute equaliser by FERNET to ensure qualification
00:00 | Felipe Abe (BRA) vs. geangr (BRA) Felipe Abe win by 3 goals
Group C
Matches
00:00 | 156mphserve (CAN) vs. BrazilTBfan (GRE)
00:00 | Tennisbabe999 (CAN) vs. Cava (CZE)
An interesting group with 3 teams still in the hunt for qualification, 156mphserve is already guaranteed qualification with 2 solid victories to start the tournament. While Cava is in the box seat for the other spot where a draw may be enough. Will Cava still be sober enough after drinking himself under the table on Cava (spanish wine), Will the Brazilian Tuberculosus Fan infect everything in sight or will the Tennis Babe pull out all the stops and leapfrog both.
Predictions
00:00 | 156mphserve (CAN) vs. BrazilTBfan (GRE) - DRAW - too close to call with BrazilTB fan chasing the win.
00:00 | Tennisbabe999 (CAN) vs. Cava (CZE) - Tennisbabe999 to win - jumps into 2nd and qualification
Group D
Matches
00:00 | Colt th magnific (FRA) vs. YEBRA (ESP)
00:00 | Ozone (USA) vs. Vilnietė (LIT)
A pure playoff group, a win for any player will guarantee qualification. With the first 2 rounds being dominated by the Ozone withstanding the unbelieveable onslaught from the town of Yebra and a manificant Colt. All while Yebra successful defended and counter attack on the extremley limestone rich country of Lithuania. Can the Ozone be broken, will Yebra finally succumb to constant bombardment, will the Colt break or Vilniete Fly over th top and grab the gold.
Predications
00:00 | Colt th magnific (FRA) vs. YEBRA (ESP) - Colt to win narrowly taking one qualification spot
00:00 | Ozone (USA) vs. Vilnietė (LIT) - DRAW with Vilniete sneaking into the knockout phase on GD
Group E
Matches
00:00 | Forever_Delayed (ENG) vs. maldini (SUI)
00:00 | brimoz (BRA) vs. Action Jackson (ICE)
Forever_Delayed can seal a qualification spot with a point in the upcoming match. A hardfought draw and impressive win has the pundits saying jumping up and down saying how far they all think this player can go. Just remember what happened last time that was the case. :awww:. Maldini has everything to prove, a win will seal qualification, while a loss could mean elimination. The situation is clear with the other match, This result is dependant on what happens in the first. Atleast with the staggered kickoff times the teams will know the requirements, all in all meaning a very facinating game in many ways. Could we see a change of game plan from Brimoz to counter the aggresive and thugish like approach by the Action Jackson, or will the coach keep the same team and hope for a better performance.
Predictions
00:00 | Forever_Delayed (ENG) vs. maldini (SUI) - DRAW leaving Maldini to sweat on the other result
00:00 | brimoz (BRA) vs. Action Jackson (ICE) - DRAW neither can finish with a low scoring yet very entertaining game.
Group F
Matches
00:00 | mateusz2904 (POL) vs. Elmo Jr (BRA)
00:00 | Chilenaitor (CHI) vs. Toooom (FRA)
A rather exciting fixture awaits with the meeting of the nation host and a rather humorus shunken elmo toy. Don't underestimate this elmo, its size sdoesn't show the giant power lurking inside that is just waiting to be unleash. Whether that is to be done by the ref fundly enough named Bert or the chucky doll hidden in the race it doesn't matter, if it happens watch out. Chilenaitor and Toooom are playing for a spot in the round of 32 after a win and a draw, and 2 draws respectively. Regardless f the result, both parties will be waiting patiently to see if they qualify as it is not a given for any team in this group.
Predictions
00:00 | mateusz2904 (POL) vs. Elmo Jr (BRA) - Elmo Jr to win after the beast is released
00:00 | Chilenaitor (CHI) vs. Toooom (FRA) - Chilenaitor to win in a tight tussle.
Group G
Matches
00:00 | erickmartins (FRA)) vs. BrunoBeidacki (BRA)
00:00 | Nikki♥ (MON) vs. Eddy DoubleD (ROU)
The situation is clear, BrunoBeidacki must win, and with the lineup announced earlier today boasting 6 strikers up front, 3 defensive midfielders, 1 defender and a goalie driving a truck who knows maybe something is possible. Erickmartins will only have to navigate the antics of Bruno and a large amount of bad luck not to qualify. but anything is possible in this wonderful game. Nikki, is hoping that Eddy is not focused on the match and rather on the intriguing colour of the grass. Swearing in the press conference that no untoward actions have or will be taken before kickoff. We here at MTF are just not as sure.
Predictions
00:00 | erickmartins (FRA)) vs. BrunoBeidacki (BRA) - BrunoBeidacki to cause the upset
00:00 | Nikki♥ (MON) vs. Eddy DoubleD (ROU) - Eddy DoubleD to win despite the 2 hour break for a entire team to wake up.
Group H
Matches
00:00 | Gavnich77 (GBR) vs. andrijagajic (SRB)
00:00 | Kery (GER) vs. kingroger (GER)
With Kery already qualified, he decided to not even bother fielding a full strength side. The U/12 national basketball team should be a good enough replacement. While all eyes are on this match to see how many times the king can make someone cry a fantastic match is being played at Hulkahulk stadium. Gavnich77 going allout to get the win to jump up the table and secure progression. WIll the introduction of the bomb ball be enough incentive to force it into the back of the net.
Predictions
00:00 | Gavnich77 (GBR) vs. andrijagajic (SRB) - Gavnich77 with a come from behind victory
00:00 | Kery (GER) vs. kingroger (GER) - Draw after feeling empathy for destroying U/12 in the first half.
Group I
Matches
00:00 | CoolyBri (GER) vs. Deathless Mortal (CRO)
00:00 | traddles (ROU) vs. Nadie (RUS)
A double elimination match, with the winner of both fixtures winning a spot in the next round. However will the matches even be able to finish or will the crowd violence ruin the spectacle and call a halt to both matchs. Hopefully all the supporters can get along with the security, just like the lady below. Whoever said guards cant crack a smile, has never seen this guy, like surely thats worth something!!!. Expect the unexpected in these matches.
Predictions
00:00 | CoolyBri (GER) vs. Deathless Mortal (CRO) - CoolyBri to lead and provisionally jump into qualification
00:00 | traddles (ROU) vs. Nadie (RUS) - 2-2 Draw causing Nadie to qualify by relegating CoolyBri back into third.
Group J
Matches
00:00 | Holmzy (IRL) vs. rvugt (NED)
00:00 | Chowdahead25 (USA) vs. sfar (POR)
Another wide open group with the Holmzy trying to destory the "Really Very Urgent Guitar Test" something that is split evenly amongst everyone as to who they want to succeed. Do you want to listen to the coulful sounds of a acoustic guitar or the soulful sounds of celebrating Irish pub songs. In the other match the chowdahead25 sporting their well known spaghetti strainer headgear is pitted against sfar (Southern Fairy Animal Register). Only one can go through. Thankfully.
or
You Decide
Predictions
00:00 | Holmzy (IRL) vs. rvugt (NED) - DRAW in a tight bore draw
00:00 | Chowdahead25 (USA) vs. sfar (POR) - sfar to win comfortably
Group K
Matches
00:00 | balloon (SIN) vs. MWHF_FTW (USA)
00:00 | rocketassist (XXX) vs. AdeyC (GBR)
An interesting end is in store for this group with numerous outcomes avaliable all dependant on one match. AdeyC is expected to beat newcomer rocketassist in a deadrubber match which AdeyC is required to win to be able to process. The other match will determine the outocume of the group. The winner will guarantee a spot in the next round while the loser will have to wait for the other result. If however a draw occurs a TB may be the only way to seperate the two teams. WIll the balloon fly or be popped, watch to find out.
Predictions
00:00 | balloon (SIN) vs. MWHF_FTW (USA) - DRAW, neither will give an inch or be able to break through
00:00 | rocketassist (XXX) vs. AdeyC (GBR) - A comfortable win for AdeyC
Group L
Matches
00:00 | trucul (FRA) vs. César Luiz (BRA)
00:00 | TheFearlessOne (EST) vs. RHB1993 (GER)
Both Trucul and TheFearlessOne have work ahead of them if either are able to qualify for the next round. A big win in neededto make up the points and GD, something that is not expected by either team. While the Estonia team is fearless and surely trustworthy a big turnaround will be needed, maybe the hiring of the new motivational speaker may be able to inspire such a revival.
Predictions
00:00 | trucul (FRA) vs. César Luiz (BRA) - Cesar Luiz in a close victory
00:00 | TheFearlessOne (EST) vs. RHB1993 (GER) - The FearlessOne to make a comeback and fall just short of qualification
Group M
Matches
00:00 | Goldenoldie (GBR) vs. supertec (ESP)
00:00 | ibreak4coffee (CAN) vs. stillreal (ROU)
having already qualified Goldenoldie has decided that a sleep may be more the way to get prepared for the next round. Maybe they will send the coaches out to play, or even the GBR army. The other match between ibreak4coffee something everyone has been doing this tournament and stillreal, namely aimed at the good quality of the coffee being provided. This match will determine the other participant who will be proceeding to the knockout phase. It was a pre tournament anticipated match and is set to not disappoint.
Predictions
00:00 | Goldenoldie (GBR) vs. supertec (ESP) - Goldenoldie to win after the GBR army guns down the opposing team.
00:00 | ibreak4coffee (CAN) vs. stillreal (ROU) - ibreak4coffee squeezizng through by 1 goal.
Group N
Matches
00:00 | Elirj70 (BRA) vs. lizzard11120 (AUS)
00:00 | Kirilenko-Fan (GER) vs. Hidalgo (RUS)
All teams in this good have so far had a laidback approach, that is all about to change with qualification on the line. Unfortunately the first match in the group is a dead rubber with lizzard11120 already having qualified with 2 wins and Elirj70 being eliminated on 0 points. Can Elirj70 restore some pride or will lizzard11120 finish with full points. In the other match a Kirilenko-Fan faces Hidalgo with the winner progressing to the round of 32. Hidalgo requires awin while a fraw will be enough for Kirilenko-Fan. Tactics will play a major role here and will be watched with baited breath to see the outcome.
Predictions
00:00 | Elirj70 (BRA) vs. lizzard11120 (AUS) - lizzard11120 to win comfortably
00:00 | Kirilenko-Fan (GER) vs. Hidalgo (RUS) - Draw in a tight match
Group O
Matches
00:00 | Peta Pan (AUS) vs. kr1st1an (BUL)
00:00 | KingDocy (GER) vs. Dexter (BRA)
With Dexter having already qualified for the round of 32 it is a chance for him to hone his skills and hopefully strike fear into the hearts of his current and future opponents. Peta Pan is in the box seat to take teh other qualification spot, hoewever a slight slip up may open the way for either of the other 2 teams to make a move and steal the spot away. Stay strong on the ball and hold it in the corner otherwise the last miute equaliser from your dream may become a reality.
Predictions
00:00 | Peta Pan (AUS) vs. kr1st1an (BUL) - Peta Pan wins to guarantee qualification
00:00 | KingDocy (GER) vs. Dexter (BRA) - Dexter in a destruction, Striking fear into everyone.
Group P
Matches
00:00 | Boarder35m (GER) vs. Marto (BUL)
00:00 | Mahqz (GER) vs. Direnan (SWE)
Even after 2 straight wins Marto is not guaranteed a spot in the Round of 32. The most interesting group. With all 4 teams still in with a shot of qualifying. There are way too many senarios here to name, but the result of one match is dependant on the rresult of the other and vice versa. The most interesting senario would be a 3 way countback to see who proceeds. The star studded lineups are not the only thing on show with a cheerleader competition also being provided during the half time show. of both matches.
Vote for your favourite and the winner will be revealed at the end of the match.
Boarder35m
Marto
Mahqz
Direnan
Predictions
00:00 | Boarder35m (GER) vs. Marto (BUL) - Boarder35m by 2
00:00 | Mahqz (GER) vs. Direnan (SWE) - Mahqz in a close one.
Enjoy
