Nations Cup Results?
- Thread starter fierce
- Start date
Sweden beat Russia on the Friday, USA conceded the game against Russia on Saturday, and Sweden beat Denmark to become overall winners. 
Yes, Russia won because USA couldn't play due to exhaustion.
Semis:
Denmark vs USA, Denmark won
Russia vs Sweden, Sweden won
Finals:
Russia vs USA, Russia won
Denmark vs Sweden, Sweden won
So final placings are:
Sweden 1st
Denmark 2nd,
Russia 3rd,
USA 4th
To be fair, USA (Team Strange) had a LOT of games on the X-ball field all day, and played brilliantly throughout. Not surprised that these guys are tired.

Great. So Sweden wins the Nation's Cup AGAIN.....we'll never hear the last of this.....I might have to ban Magued.
Congrats Sweden.
Congrats Sweden.
Who let the USA team throw in the towel???
Personally, I think these guys shouldn't have been allowed to run away and hide. How would it have looked for a spectator to turn up on the Saturday night expecting to see two games of X-Ball, but only getting one?
If this is supposed to be the "spectator and TV is the most important" sport that people are talking about, you shouldn't be able to deprive the tournament of spectator time as well as any possibility of TV advertising time.
C'mon X-Ball, punish the USA team for being completely unprofessional (and that's before taking into consideration the things that were said to marshalling staff on the field on Friday night, whether justified or not).

Could they not have put in another team I know Strange were Team USA but there was a lot of American teams that could have played just as well.
I agree that the lack of game between USA and Russia didn't look good and was unfortunate.
Team Strange did have a tough schedule, they were tired, they had early play-off games the next day, they thought the reffing was terrible (it wasn't, it was good, there were just some missed calls that went against them like always happens in PB), they didn't like the field, I'm sure they were very disillusioned about the prospects of third place at best and I can't force anyone to do anything.
