As the oldest country, Sweden has a brilliant history in the World Cups, but they have a dark history in Hattrick Masters. It seems now that the curse has been broken, and famous '''Fumpen''' made it through to round 7. [[User:Karate|Karate]], the manager of Fumpen, made a very controversial decision: he decided to play with his weakest players, and thus basically forfeiting the game, to make a point toward his opponent, the soon-to-be bankrupt '''Alberto Garcia'''. Some people were very disappointed at Karate because of his decision, others supported him.

Manager of '''Arezzo Galasocaray''', [[User:Marrundo|Marrundo]], did everything in his power to beat the other suicide team '''FC Pärtna''', and got very close. Arezzo were leading 2-0 but Luke Truett scored twice for Pärtna in the second half, and the game went to extra time. 2 minutes into extra time Lu Joi-Seng scored the golden goal that settled the game in FC Pärtna’s favour. <br clear="all" />

==== Final ====
The final match was played on Thursday, 5 October 2006.

As both managers were unable to log in and set the lineup before the match, the game was pretty much decided even before it started. And only 65 504 spectators bothered to show up in the huge ''Holstein Stadion'' in Germany to see Alberto Garcia from Guatemala crush FC Pärtna 4-0. Joshua Duilach scored the last goal and became the top scorer of the tournament with 10 goals.

The final between the two ghost teams was the cause of a heated debate on the conferences though. For the third time in a row the winner of the Masters loses his team. Should it have to be necessary to sacrifice your team to win the Masters? Some people, like [[User:aglopez|aglopez]] (the manager of Alberto Garcia) clearly think so, but most people disagree.
