YB Canada vs. YB Germany- YB Germany 6-3.
W France vs. W Ukraine- Ukraine 5-0. Ukraine looks quite dominant thus far. They'll make this year's playoffs quite exciting on the women's side.
Austria vs. Greece- Austria 1-0.
Austria managed to hold off Greece in an exciting 1-0 victory. Austria has played quite well so far this tourney, and will get chance to do some damage this weekend when they play Ukraine and Laos.
Botswana vs. Canada- Tied 2-2. In a game with huge implications, Botswana tied Canada. Canada looked lazy, not hustling to the ball or putting much effort in to get the ball back. Botswana, on the other hand, played like they wanted it, and made sure to prevent Canada's shots. Canada's lackluster performance has made this group very exciting now. With one game apiece left, this will likely come down to Goal Differential. If that doesn't settle it, it goes to Goals For, then Goals Against. So let's take a look here...
Botswana- 3-0, 2-6, 2-2...Giving them a goal differential of -1 at 7 Goals For and 8 Goals Against.
Canada- 3-1, 7-2, 2-2...Giving them a goal differential of +7 at 12 Goals For and 5 Goals Against.
Canada is up by 8 goals right now, with Ireland left to play. Botswana has Columbia left. Here's a scenario for you. Canada loses 4-0, Botswana wins 5-1, they'll be tied in every aspect. The very last tiebreaker would be a shootout between the two teams. Cross your fingers!! Only one thing is for sure, it will be exciting to see this play out.

I'm sure that ROI will do its part for Botswana and hammer Canada. If Canada plays the way they did last night 4-0 would be a conservative estimate.
In the Norway Blog, theres a Standings Display for Group B. It'd be sweet to see that for each group. Is that on here anywhere?
I hope Botswana goes through.. Woooooooooooooooo!
I would be great to see an underdog story like Botswana move through to the next round!
i agree botswana good luck
so the plan is to cheer for ROI? weird...but ok for botswana why not
its pretty sweet to see greece suckin balls, all there talk on the blog really made them look stupid.
You know what REALLY sucks? I was watching the news tonight (and most nights) and I've been at a lot of the games and it seems like the media is non-existant at all the exciting games. It would be nice if the tourney organizers would keep in touch with the media and let them know the games that will be exciting games to show highlights of. It seems like most of the highlights I've seen are womens game, or games like N. Ireland vs. England games. no disrepect to these teams, but it's no where near as exciting as seeing highlights from a game where there is a massive crowd and end to end action, or even just exciting games like when Botswana won their game, or something like that. All these highlights are weak dribbler goals or misplayed balls that make the tourney look very poor and doesn't seem like it would get people watching the news to say "hey we should go check that out...it looks like fun!"
I added the standings for all of the groups on the Norway blog. Link there from this blog on the left toolbar.
Love the new standings section. Thanks.
canada is been a disappointment sofar may be the scotland gods followed them there, one or two guys performing on the entire team which is aparently full of alstarts as some call them selves, i hope ROI put an end to them, actually i started liking Botswana and hope they go through coz they work hard as a team and wont give up, saw once they tied, everyone on \canada team was just holding their heads and scratching insteady of picking up the ball and get things going, so i guess this is the end if they dont wake up this weekend, a very disapointed fan
the Greeks were suppose to be a powerhouse, but they actually found out how much they suck, jimmy c should really retire because all he is doing is hammering ppl left and right. it looks like another last place finish for them again.
I think Italy will give Greece a good challenge for last place. Check out their game Monday night at 10 p.m. to see which team put together a worse roster this year. ITALY vs. GREECE - THRILLING!
Canada sucks, they won't get close to making the finals. Tavis is full of it and thinks he is such a great soccer player. Dude, your not that good. Try passing the ball once in a while, and think about what you say off the field, especially before you go into the change rooms. I was right by the washrooms and I heard your trash talk you clown.
Canada doesnt suck.
They are in the semi finals,one game away from the final? Tavis couldnt be full of it if he tried. He is a good soccer player. Whoever you are, I'd like to see a one on one. If tavis didnt pass the ball all the time, he would have a sick number of goals. He is one of the least selfish players out there. He has skill, but doesnt use it to his full potential(ie.taking guys on).
Who cares what who says off the field??
To whoever is trash talking Tavis I,m Quite sure that you dont know what you are talking about.
Try passing the ball??? I'm Pretty Sure He got 4 assists in the Columbia game.Last time I looked you have to PASS to get an assist.
Not that good I think the numbers speak for themselves.Pretty good if you ask me.Sounds to me that you cant play so you have to whine.If your so inclined to shoot your mouth off about someone maybe you should sign your post instead of hiding behind anonymous smartass
