HT Announcement (26.10.2002):
The first round of qualifications to the Group play of World Cup II was yesterday. Spain, currently the second largest country in Hattrick (next to Sweden) suffered a shocking defeat from Venezuela, the smallest of all 52 Hattrick countries with only 16 active users. Quite an upset! Next up for the Venezuelans is Germany. Surely they can't do it again, can they?

HT Announcement (02.11.2002):
After the 8 World Cup Qualification matches tonight, the fixtures for the next three weeks Group games are now up. The Danish defeated Romania in a nail-biting penalty drama. Some credits most once again be given to Venezuela for their excellent last 30 minutes - but the Germans were too much. Thailand shocked Poland but eventually fell, which means that India will be only representative of Asia, while Europe has 10 teams, Oceania ... er... one obviously, and the Americas 4 teams.

And which one of the two big positive surprises of this World Cup, Poland and Norge, will get to the final? The answer is given this Friday, 8 PM, HT Time.
