Pop World Cup: Group A Results
A shocking collapse by Poland in their group A clash with Ecuador saw
steviespitfire's team crash out of the Pop World Cup at the first hurdle. Poland, who had at one stage been leading the group, were unable to cope with a transformed Ecuador and pundits back in Warsaw will be asking questions about the manager's choice of two big players up front. Ecuador meanwhile deployed their full arsenal of tricks to book a place in the round of 16, against the winner of Group B, which kicks off tomorrow.
In Group A's other match, favourites Germany glided through to the round of 16 as group A winners, their assured performance against Costa Rica meaning that
sbp's men's early stutters were forgotten. Costa Rica played aggressively and gave a good account of themselves without ever really threatening and despite a low points total "the Kittens" will reflect on some valuable experience gained at this level of pop.
