STATISTICS

In a few days I will open a new section where you will find all
kind of statistics regarding the teams and the players form Nations Cup.
7 MATCHES RESCHEDULED IN "TACTICS PROBLEM"
Because of the well known "tactics problem" bug (tactics
for national teams were reseted on friday, 4 August) all NT Coaches that asked
for a replay of their match in Nations Cup will have that chance. The matches
were rescheduled on 22 August. The original result (marked with grey in the
results from each group) will be kept in the case that the match doesn't play
at the new date. Here are the rescheduled matches:

WARNING
ABOUT POSTPONED MATCHES
There are 2 available dates for matches to be played after the
regular schedule provided by the organizers (22 and 25 August) reprezenting
posponed matches. However, if a game does not play at that date, from various
reasons, the team that requested initially the walkover (Brazil, Norway, Columbia,
Sweden and Netherlands in the 1st Matchday and Norway in the 2nd Matchday) will
win by walkover.
POSTPONED
MATCHES
Because I would like that Nations Cup to be played on ice and
not on walkover I decided to allow matches that didn't played on regular dates
to be played on 22 and 25 August.
SWEDEN
ALLOWED IN THE TOURNAMENT
20 NT Coaches have voted about late registered Sweden playing
in the tournament. 11 chosed to allow Sweden to play in the Nations Cup and
9 were against. Therefore I decided to let Sweden participate. Because the drawing
is already made and matches scheduled, Swedens was put in one of the last two
groups (with 3 teams).
Still Sweden was late in the tournament and their group will
be very though having 2 teams from pool 1, one from pool 2 and one form pool
3. Therefore, as organizer I decided to apply a penalty of 4 points
in the group stage for Sweden. If Sweden qualifies, there will be no
penalties for this team in the playoffs. I think it is a fair solution for both
NT coaches who agreed letting Sweden in the Nations Cup and also NT Coaches
who voted against.
The groups have
been drawn. This is composition of each group. You can find the schedule by
