NationsCup ’06, sadly it’s been a muted affair so far. No major upsets, no last gasp caps no nothing. This Sunday however could change all that…
There's not one, not two but three cracking clashes as it's make or break time across the board. The winners will most likely go on to qualify whilst the losers are sent packing.
Kicking off the night’s action we’ll see Team Hungary and Sweden go head to head. Both are currently languishing outside the top two qualifying positions in Group B, a real possibility that neither will progress to the next round.
Team Hungary dropped their initial and only match against an impressive Netherlands team - who are currently being touted as potential champions come March. Whilst Sweden overpowered France 4 0 in the first week only to crash and burn against a resilient Dutch team in the second.
This match is a battle for second place, though that positions not a certainty. As the Czech Republic are currently won 3 from 3, though they’ve yet to face any of the big guns.
Then we move onto the rearranged clash between Israel and the United Kingdom over in Group C. Information about that tie can be found here.
Finally, the climax of the evening comes as Belgium take on current holders and competition favourites Estonia. Belgium currently hold the top spot in Group A having taken easy wins over both Portugal and Croatia – fielding a strong team including the likes of zeto, Ganon and Shewie. Though they’ll face an unforgiving Estonian team – possibly the strongest to grace NC yet. This Estonian line-up genuinely a team of champions, fresh from recent escapades across the globe.
Can Belgium create the upset of the year?
