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.

Results In Full

GERMANY - 189 points (Qualify)
ECUADOR - 167 points (Qualify)
Poland - 144 points
Costa Rica - 100 points

no, they are famous for USING THEIR HAND to score a goal then scoring [probably] best world cup goal ever in the second half
