Norwegian Tournament Group D Preview

Group D

Batman

Team: SK Brann

Odds: 11 - 1

Previous Tournament performances: Group-stages, Group-stages, Group-stages

Ranked: 23rd

Three group-stage exits have started the process of Batman becoming a minnow in these tournaments the like of what Tez was. A hard group beckons for Batman with the elite SpursBoy along with the dangerous JAG and 1man it is going to take some performance to get out of this group. Having said that SK Brann is a decent team so if he can utilise them who knows?

Verdict: Group-Stage

SpursBoy

Team: Sandnes ULF

Odds: 3 – 1

Previous Tournament performances: semi-final, winner, winner, winner, semi-final, semi-final, semi-final

Ranked: 1st

Once upon a time SpursBoy used to be the king of tournaments like these, nobody could touch him with the lesser teams, but times have changed now and it appears May is fast stealing that crown. Has the time come for the most successful player to make edgeways into taking back his place at the top? Sort of, I can see him being a match for anybody but rather than the humiliation he suffered last tournament going out to the worst team in the tournament having had the best. I think it will be a tighter affair, shall have to see!

Verdict: Semi-Final



Jag

Team: ODD

Odds: 8 - 1

Previous Tournament performances: Semi-Final

Ranked: 14th

Was quite a surprise when Jag signed-up for this tournament having not been at any tournament since the MLS one back in November. No surprise that he got a team called ODD though. Assuming SpursBoy will walk this group I can see the race for second place being one of the tightest on record between Jag and 1man, the only thing that puts 1man above Jag is he is more capable of pulling off a shock and thus will nick second place.
Verdict: Group-Stage

1man

Team: Stromsgodset IF

Odds: 7 - 1

Previous Tournament performances: Group-Stages

Ranked: 25th

Another player not seen in the official tournament parts for many a long time! 1man has come a long way since his debut in MLS, enhancing his Fifa skills and showed this by beating Voom last tournament, he also has the infamous lag on his side! As for this tournament like I stated above I think he will just edge out Jag into second place and then who knows what he can do in the knock-outs, not bad for the lowest ranked person in the tournament!

Verdict: Quarter-Final
