I like this version of the World Cup, it's unique.
I quickly browsed through the teams... no Ilagan for the Phillipines, and no Jeff Smith for Canada... these are surprise misses for me. Razma usually plays well in this tournament, it's a shame he doesn't have a similar level partner.
As for the big(ger) guns, Nothern Ireland might be interesting with Rock and Dolan for a semi-surprise.
