World Cup Final


Recommended Posts

Well done Poland.

 

Normally I would bemoan the joker making the difference but with the Bjerre decision and the luck the Danes had with the restart following the Czech faller Id say that evens out.

Well done Marek and his Polish lads.

 

Regardless of the controversy of exclusions and Jokers and a poor circuit it has been a superb final in terms of how utterly absorbing it has been.

Commiserations to the Danes but what a hell of a last series of races. :)

Poles won that by providing only 6 race winners compared to the Danes with 10. Obviously one of those wins brought in 6points of course.

 

As previously said, very absorbing final, as was Thursdays race off, leaves me with decent memories of WTC 2013.

 

Well done Poland.

Speedway sunk to an all time low tonight with the best team Denmark losing by 1 point because they were in the lead and could not play the joker. What should have been a showcase for speedway turned into a joke. The track was rubbish, extremely difficult to pass, and they could not even produce a track where you had half a chance from all four gates, gate 4 was a graveyard and at this level to produce a track like that was a disgrace. Who's stupid idea was it to have the Czech Republic seeded into the final, did someone seriously think more local fans would attend. If I lived near the track I would have watched on TV as it's much better to be embarrassed by your country in the privacy of your home than to do it in public, I would have thought they would get a better crowd with four not three competitive teams. I suppose a lot of people would have found the close score entertaining and perhaps it was if you just look at speedway as an entertainment because a sport it is not.

Thankfully the Ozzie team of Ward / Batchelor ( Ward didn`t rate the others in the team ) didn`t win. Well done to the Poles BUT the team that didn`t need to use the joker finished second which was a travesty .

The controversial decision with Bjerre was identical to the one between Josh G and Sneddon in the TV match between the Rebels and the Monarchs, when Deek threw himself down under minimal contact by Josh`s dirt deflector.Josh was thrown out and the Monarchs scored a match winning 5-1, some consistency please or we may find ourselves going down the football path.
