I agree it will be a close game, however, I predict Ukraine wins 3-2 over Laos. Ireland wins 5-2 over Scotland.<BR/>This has been an incredible tournament no matter who wins, this tournament. <BR/>Kudos to Kevin Holness and his committee. <BR/>I think Kevin should be nominated for TD of Saskatchewan. He is the only person with KNOWLEDGE, DEDICATION AND VISION to take this province to the next level. <BR/>This tournament has done wonders for the Soccer Community in Regina and Saskatchewan.

I agree for the most ...Great overview of the games. I agree for the most part. The only things I would say differently is that I think Ukraine and Norway will be the game of the round. Both teams have the potential to win it all and they both play up or down to their opponents. When the opponent is as god as these two, who knows how high they will elevate their game. Whoever wins, I think it will be close and fantastic to watch.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think Scotland will have the edge over Chile. True, Chile has had the experience with a big, strong team like Scotland (against Norway), but Scotland has been playing very solid soccer, completely dominating NI and outplaying Canada, and tying two strong teams in Ukraine and Jamaica. Chile on the other hand had a few lack-luster wins vs weak teams, barely scraping by Austria, and unable to do a whole lot against Norway.<BR/><BR/>Either way, I think every match-up in this round is the best it could be. I already talked about Ukraine and Norway and Scotland and Chile, Laos and Germany will be intense and we will see if speed and control beats brute force and a bit of anger (from sie Germans), and then England has a lot of fire power and several players who have played with and against the ROI stars, so maybe they can find some weaknesses that some other teams have not.<BR/><BR/>Great tournament so far and it will only get better from here on out!Not_Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420138238972856662noreply@blogger.com
