FFS Friendly World Cup Quarter-Finals Reviews

Quarter-Final 4

Chile defeated Japan 119-105

Menly and Catmac overcame Sarnab and Djerbil in this closely fought battle. Ultimately it was Menly who won the day with his 60 beating Djerbil’s 46, as Cat and Sarnab tied on 59. Matchday 1 went the way of Chile as Catmac’s Perriera gave them the advantage after dueling Patricios and Ronaldos for Menly and Sarnab. Day 2 was closely fought as we had a Neuer, a Boateng and a Schweinsteiger on each side whilst Sarnab’s Ozil (c) better Cat’s Khedira and Hummels to give Japan some hope. In matchday 3 Alba was an irrelavance as all 4 managers owned him. So it came down the midfield and Japan took the honours with double Iniesta and Busquets easily overcoming Fabregas. So it was left for England and Italy to decide things. Catmac’s and Djebil’s Lescott cancelled each other out, as did Menly and Sarnab’s Gerrard whilst Djerbil’s Rooney (c) did not do him much good over Cat’s Rooney. Ultimately this tie was settled by Chile’s double Pirlo to Japan’s single alongside a cheeky Menly punt on Barzagali, who yielded 7 points, as Djebil’s Cassano and Sarnab’s Welbeck failed to deliver. Chile will meet Brazil in the semis.

USA defeated Argentina 111-104

In this, the closest of all the quarter-final ties, it was Gagamel who proved the matchwinner. Whilst Goldy and Canadian Football both finished on 48, it was Garg’s 63 which proved decisive over Archie’s 56. In matchday 1 it was Argentina who took the narrowest of leads with Archie’s Perreria outscoring Garg’s Patricio by just 1 point. Both teams had 2 Ronaldo’s, there was no other major representation in this one. In matchday it was fairly even again as each side boasted Hummels and Boateng combo, whilst Goldy had a Neuer and Hummels combo to add, alongside Schweinsteiger, whilst Archie could only muster Neuer. Matchday 3 however saw the tie swing decisively in USA’s favour. Though Argentina boasted double Alba, USA also boasted double Alba, with Garg’s having a (c) giving the USA the swing. Though both sides boasted an Iniesta apiece, Goldy’s Busquets pick further boosted USA. The final matchday saw a late, but ultimately futile charge from the Argentine Light Brigade. Going all out with 2 Pirlo’s Buffon, Lescott and Gerrard, Argentina had hoped to mount a comeback. But alas, with Garg owning all of those bar Buffon (and 1 Pirlo obviously) it was not to be, and it is the USA who move on to face Switzerland in the semi-finals

Switzerland def. Mexico 141-127. This back and forth tie was ultimately decided by 1 man. James_Fitz’s decision to put the armband on Xabi Alonso proved crucial as his 28 point haul decided this tie in favour of the Group A winners. Jk and Sleep Talk finished neck and neck on 64 points but Snowy could only manage 63 to James’ 77. Mexico can consider themselves somewhat unlucky to have faced the only side that outscored them in this round.

Last day in the quarter final stage and we will only have 4 teams left after tonights England/Italy game. It is now or never for our 8 remaining teams. Lets take a look at the players in action for the teams tonight.
