With the Orange Cup now in full swing, and the Group Stages gradually drawing to a close, ONN asks, who is in the best place to win?
The Orange Cup Knockout stage bracket has been revealed, giving teams an indication of who they might play if they make it through the Group Stage:
From this, currently, the knockout stages would be:
Meercovo vs Patec
FRS vs Zenitia
Oranjehaven vs Niater
Utonike vs Mardata
Brunholl vs Zanjact
New Jabanese vs Zeiling
TOO vs Turgaistan
Turipipipip vs Maricoen
However, with several more matches yet to play, this could change dramatically. But how do things currently stand?
So far, the nation with the most points is FRS, with 9 points having won all 3 of their games. Meanwhile, Maricoen is the top scoring nation, having scored 10 goals in 3 games, mainly thanks to a 5-0 victory over Zenitia.
Meanwhile, The Orange Order has been a massive force at the Cup, against all odds currently sitting at the top of Group D and having denied Zanjact, the best ranked team in the Region, a crucial victory.
Yet some nations have had a disappointing showing so far. Brunholl has just 3 points having won a game and lost another, and having scored just 2 goals in those 2 games. Despite this, Brunholl has the strongest defence having only conceded 1 goal, compared to Scottshire conceding 7 goals.
Going by goal difference, Maricoen again leads the way with a net positive goal difference of 7 goals.
But from the current results, the top 5 nations in the running have got to be:
Maricoen
TOO
Zanjact
FRS
Meercovo
However, these nations have played 3 games while others have played only 2. This could all change very suddenly.
