Iceland tend to do a good job of that in Euros. Let's see if we meet in the next few rounds ;).

In our group, think Badgers, Wolves, and Reindeers all finished on 2 wins, with the Crocs winless. So will be decided on %, and if my math is correct, PNL will miss out :o

Unless you win the whole thing this year!

Also I wouldn't say your week was great, but if you look up you'll see that it was good enough!
Scratch that, I put the wrong fixture up

Overall Ladders
*Coaches check your PMs if you haven't already*
**If you're a coach/assistant and didn't get my PM and want to, tell me and I'll send it to you**

Group A   W   L   F   A   %   P
Bradford Badgers   2   1   4289.75   3993.27   107.42   8
PNL Reindeers   2   1   4300.00   4228.41   101.69   8
Macedonian Wolves   2   1   4176.98   4238.72   98.54   8
KL Crocodiles   0   3   4095.42   4401.76   93.04   0
Crocs scored alright, but couldn't land a win. Wolves unlucky week 1 injuries cost them

Group B   W   L   F   A   %   P
Spanish Stallions   2   1   4312.15   4245.55   101.57   8
Berlin Brewers   2   1   4390.00   4420.13   99.32   8
Sri Lanka Strikers   1   2   4468.07   4393.02   101.71   4
Winchester Werewolves   1   2   4323.06   4434.58   97.49   4
Group of death such a tight one throughout. Strikers with 6pt Rd 1 loss to Stallions crucial.

Group C   W   L   F   A   %   P
Swansea Breakers   3   0   4060.37   3575.47   113.56   12
English Lions   2   1   4038.74   3752.94   107.62   8
Christchurch Saints   1   2   4022.00   3698.31   108.75   4
Bangladesh Bears   0   3   3087.14   4181.52   73.83   0
One of the weaker groups. Breakers did just enough each week. Reigning champ is out.

Group D   W   L   F   A   %   P
Belgian Bashers   2   1   4151.89   3868.82   107.32   8
Manchester Magic   2   1   4028.01   4026.24   100.04   8
Dublin Destroyers   1   2   4163.50   4300.19   96.82   4
Mongolian Lambs   1   2   4097.66   4245.81   96.51   4
Dublin = GONE. The late ring in the Magic progress after two good weeks. Lambs big in GS 3, but too late.

Group E   W   L   F   A   %   P
Hastings Hurricanes   3   0   4634.14   4172.37   111.07   12
Serbian Eagles   2   1   4500.57   4090.62   110.02   8
New York Revolution   1   2   4016.50   4461.07   90.03   4
Kathmandu Eskimos   0   3   3804.84   4231.98   89.91   0
This was always a Hurricanes vs Eagles match and Hastings too strong, this time!

Group F   W   L   F   A   %   P
Iceland Polar Bears   3   0   4412.50   4089.96   107.89   12
Huddersfield Hawks   2   1   4416.70   3929.87   112.39   8
Pacific Islanders   1   2   3999.50   4158.10   96.19   4
Laos Elephants   0   3   3758.58   4409.35   85.24   0
A tight one pre-tournament but Laos not up to the challenge, Islanders also short of the mark.

Group G   W   L   F   A   %   P
UAE Tigers   3   0   4379.29   3615.25   121.13   12
Liverpool Rams   2   1   3976.16   3982.83   99.83   8
Swiss Storm   1   2   3971.15   3970.83   100.01   4
Moscow Spetnaz   0   3   3468.50   4226.20   82.07   0
The other weak group but UAE progress with ease, they'll get tougher competition now. Moscow making up the numbers. Nige gets one of his teams through.

Group H   W   L   F   A   %   P
Australian Ales   3   0   4604.23   4149.53   110.96   12
Mexico City Suns   2   1   4461.00   4432.25   100.65   8
Svalbard Valkyries   1   2   4287.57   4391.80   97.63   4
Wrexham Knights   0   3   4101.53   4480.76   91.54   0
Ales and Suns too good as expected. JB has 3 teams in the knockouts, he'd like his chances with Australia the most.

Rams going through is nothing short of hilarious hahaha.

Actually thought Laos was my strongest team heading into this, Storm was most likely to advance (even before the mutliplier problem) and yet Liverpool are in the Round of 16.

Time to Bradbury home fellas! ;D
