The Hungarians make it close and score the first goal on the Deep South Penguins who nonetheness revover with the aid of their trusty hammers.

The remaining rounds were played at the Lancaster War Memorial Stadium in front of a screaming multitude estimated at five or six crazed fans.

Round 4: England plays Canada for the right to face Antarctica for the first WBC soccer trophy. In an epic game Canada scores in the final two minutes of regulation to beat the English Elk 3-2 and advance to a date with the waiting Penguins.

the blood was swept off the field it was Lance Fogel's Canadians crushing the Antarcticans 5-1.

Lance captured the first WBC Street Soccer title by averaging 4+ goals a game. His high powered offense stormed through the field. Already the world is training for the next go round.
