Bolivia Results

1. The other 10 Canadians will score more goals then Amado.
Yes. Amado was B R U T A L.

2. Canada will have a player earn multiple assists.
No. I thought it highly probable Omar, O’Hara or Iginla would reach multiple assists. Feeding Amado wasn’t a good way to get a helper today.

3. Canada will score a corner or a freekick or a penalty.
No. A couple freekicks, but not from dangerous positions. No corner or penalty opportunities.

4. Canada's team pass % will be better then 55%.
Yes. I think I set the bar a little low - no one had a particularly good day passing the ball, but team pass % was 58.2%.

5. Parker will have a clean sheet.
Yes. Made a couple decent saves. Bolivia got 2 of 4 shots on target.

6. Canada will suffer an injury.
No. Something good came from the match. :)

7. Canada will hit the woodwork 4 or more times.
No. 2 times. Amado was too busy trying to hit popcorn vendors with the ball.

8. Canada will have a perfect (100%) tackler (minimum 4 attempts).
No. Fichaud didn’t miss a tackle, but didn’t register enough attempts. Dehere, Abbas Musa and Bradshaw were all beaten once,

9. Bolivia will have 6 or more fouls.
No. 4 fouls. Surprised Wang and Amado weren’t able to induce more.

10. A substitute will make the scoresheet (goal, assist, foul, card).
Yes. W. Lavrynenko scored, assisted by another sub in Caron.

My result:
Austria 2:1 Canada

1. Canada's midfield will have more assists then Austria's midfield.
No. No assists from Canada’s midfield. A little surprising. I thought they would do more with the space they had, and I was counting on them to slice up the Austrian defense. Both Austria’s goals were assisted, one from midfield.

2. A Canadian player will commit 2 (or more) fouls.
No. Only one foul from the Canadian team all much. Unfortunately it was deemed to warrant a red card.

3. Canada will score from a corner or freekick or penalty.
No. Despite the huge territorial advantage Canada was not able to generate any of these scoring opportunities.

4. Canada will be caught offside more then Austria.
No. I lost count, but Canada was only caught 1-2 times. Austria at least 5.

5. Canada will win both possession and territory.
Yes. Play was held in Austria’s end for nearly 2/3 of the match.

6. Amado will have a shooting percentage 30% or better.
No. 1 for 9 (11%). He settled for a number of poor shots.

7. Parker will have a better save % then Preiner (Austria's keeper).
No. Good old Parker. 2 shots, one from a midfielder, couldn’t save either of them. Preiner had a decent match with 5 saves on 6 on-target shots.

8. Omar and Abbas Musa will combine for more completed passes then Iginla and Dehere.
Yes. Omar (17) and Abbas Musa (8) combined for 25. Iginla (10) and Dehere (6) only 16.

9. Canada's substitutes will have a greater "impact" (goals, assists) on the match then Austria's substitutes.
No. Neither sides subs made an impact on the match.

10. Canada will score a goal from outside the 18 yard box.
Yes. Would say Amado’s goal was from 20 yards out.

Lithuania plays later in Bolivia. We'll settle the tie then.

Opposing Coach Andreasson seems good at this game - had 8. But since he predicated our game score (and correctly!) instead of picking how many goals Lithuania would score, he's disqualified.

Bolivia 0 -:- Lithuania 14

So ....

Lorne 5 (10) - Winner!
