The first stage will be group play with four groups of four teams. You will play each team twice, please make a challenge to each team and accept one from each team. I tried to divide the groups up both by seeding the teams 1-16 and also making sure there were not 3 teams from the same country in one group.

The Groups are...

Group A
Hawks (claytes09)
Shen Lions (cgs006)
Berliner Sport Verein (golfteach)
DUFC (denni)

Group B
FC Grand Rapids (dal8847)
Leo's Lions (tigerdad)
SEI FC (gccoach)
Die Nibelungen (ososdeoro1)

Group C
FC Georgia (giles21)
Seattle (connorlemons)
Gunners (gunners1974)
Lok Hobu (bigalric)

Group D
FC Schafer (xulapaul)
Vipers (viperhoops)
Huns (provos)
Corinthians (laurenm)

Congrats to The Blackhawks on reaching the final - exciting match-ups with Shenandoah

Thanks for the invite to play. Glad to have made it to the semis. Tough road for me to get as far as I did.

An All USA final....FC Georgia vs. Saint Paul Blackhawks. Since the Blackhawks had the better record in Group play they will host the final.
