Less than a week for the FIFA Beach Soccer WC 2017.

 

will be competing in the finals for the seventh time from nine editions (as FIFA WC); two years ago, in Portugal, Italy finished fourth after lost at penalties the semi-final against Tahiti.. Our the best result was a second-place finish in 2008, and this year we have everything in place to go far......

 

Three debut. Bahamas (the host), Panama and Ecuador

Will be absent this year: Russia, (two win and a 3rd place in last three editions), Spain (RU in 2013,) and France  (won in 2005, but not at top in last years)

 

Only four nations won the FIFA Beach Soccer WC:  (four time), (2 time) and one    and ; and remain the same, if also  we count the previous tournaments "Beach Soccer World Championship" : from 1995 to 2004 all editions are won by Brazil (9 titles) except 2001 won by Portugal

the first goal of the tournament for Iran

and i predicted 1 for Iran

Good win for the start but have to admit, the last penalty/goal was nonsense, but I guess Iran was the better team overall but at the end they needed a bit help from the ref to score the winning goal

[bestmen 2,926]

and Senegal crushes Ecuador 3-0 the 1st period

 

Spoiler

i predicted 1 for Ecuador

 

[bestmen 2,926]

being qualified from the south america , I thought tat Ecuador is one strong team

9-0 they should give much places for Africa

Day 1: all the favourites teams won (     Gabriele Gori - six goals) ; maybe "the scores" in the group A are a little bit unexpected:   won only by one against the host   (stat: attemps 50-34, on target 17-12) and has destroyed 9-0 other debutant   (stat:  attemps 44-49, on target 20-15)
