Matchweek 17 Review
Full results can be found here.
Fashanu Zealand convincingly beat Mozampique in what was the most anticipated game of the week. The win puts Fashanu Zealand in second spot with 33 points and almost secure of a knockout berth. Mozampique on the other hand,s uffered a sixth straight defeat which leaves them with two must-win games to enter the knockouts. What a turnaround it’s been for the Mozzie’s!!!
Talking of turnarounds,the biggest one of the tournament so far goes to Hungary Neville. With a single win after five match weeks, they were reeling at the bottom half of the table. What followed was eleven wins in the next twelve games and they now find themselves at the top of the table, with a knockout spot almost guaranteed.
Afghanistanislas, Reussia and Ibeland all had a golden opportunity to inch one step closer to the knockouts, but ended up losing. Kenyaya and Balegium suffered similar fate.
Bolivia Giroud,Messidonia and Grabbangladesh registered very important victories.
The teams in the bottom half of the table may have lost the opportunity to make the playoffs, but they are fulfilling the role of party-pooper admirably.
Matagascar beat Afghanistanislas, by a whooping 80 points, Gaboniadini beat Russia and Mbokani Faso beat Kenyaya.
Salahmon Island’s one point loss to Georgia Boyd has to be one of the games of the tournament so far.

6 years, 2 months agoTwo of the top three scoring teams of the past GW will battle it out this week. You're going down, Hungary Neville! You won't have an answer to our unconventional methods.
Btw, I enjoyed Buda and Pest. Bolivia has a reputation as being the world's least friendly tourist destination for some reason. It's not entirely true - come visit Salar de Uyuni amid the Andes, it's spellbinding. We'll show you around and introduce you to some indigenous groups next time (it's strictly business this weekend). We may be away from home but I hope we have the support of the rest of the league.
As Couti & the Below5th would put it:
"Na, na, na, na,
na-na-na naaa,
na-na-na naaa…
Bolivia Giroud!"
Good luck. 🙂
