The fourth annual Seattle Nation's Cup (formerly known as the Seattle World Cup) is schedule July 15-31 with 33 teams this year. The newest team added this year is Team Canada. It will have players from the VMSL and FVSL who are currently playing or at one point connected with Columbus Clan (which means some takethepissers will be heading down for the road trip).
The website is www.allnationscup.org All games scheduled on the turf at Starfire Sports Complex in South Seattle.
Canada faces three hard qualifying matches:
July 16 Columbia 11:30 am Field #2
July 16 Mexico 6:30 pm in the Stadium
July 17 Brazil 1:30 pm Field #3
The difficulty will be the 3 weekday games from July 19-21. After that, it's single knockout. Some teams will be bringing pro players from their home country, which is pretty weak since it's still an amateur tourney. Last year over the 3 weekends, they had over 30 thousand fans come out and the finals where at Seahawk Stadium. Bosnia beat the 2 time defending champions Brazil 5-2 in the finals last year and gain an automatic entrance to the round of 16.
