The average difference in number of goals scored during the first 4 days (group matches) was 11.94. The largest difference belongs to the match between Norway and Great Britain, 52:0. It means Norway almost scored twice every minute, ouch!
The average difference of the last 4 days (placement matches) is 5.81. The 50% drop in the score differences meant a lot more exciting matches with levelled opponents. During these days 8 matches ended with sudden death and 2 with penalty shootouts. Wow!
There are clear differences between the nations based on the background and culture of the game and it can be observed in the style they play.
To sum it up, it is a common opinion that The Empire Strikes Back is the best episode of the SW-saga.
The organizers did splendid work to let countries from all around the globe show the best of their underwater rugby. If you’re not watching, you’re missing out! To be continued with the matches of the first half of the UWR World Championships.
Will Colombia make it to the World Championships to change the course of the event?
