I just got back from Nations Cup XIII at USV Hercules 1882, and I have to say, it was amazing! Over 40 teams from more than 32 countries came together to play, and the energy was off the charts. Every match was full of surprises, and the drama on the field made it a tournament to remember.
A huge congratulations to Yugoslavia for winning Nations Cup XIII! Your incredible teamwork, determination, and skill shone through every match. You’ve made history with your well-deserved victory, and your spirit truly captured the heart of this competition.
Moldova was one of the big stories this time. They managed to get not one, but two teams into the top three. One of their teams finished second, and the other grabbed third place after Spain lost the third place match by forfeit. It felt incredible to see Moldova really shine on such a big stage.
Yugoslavia was another team that caught everyone’s attention. They played with so much heart and skill, winning their matches in two very intense penalty shootouts. Their clash against Vietnam and the nail-biting round against Brazil were absolutely unforgettable. They eliminated the two Moldovas in the final and semifinal, which added to their impressive run in this tournament.
The player of the tournament, Denis from Moldova, was a standout yet again. His play was so inspiring that he earned the MVP award for the second time. And let’s not forget about Mert, Yugoslavia’s goalkeeper. He made some key saves in the final, and even though he tied for Best Goalkeeper with Xundi, his performance overall was just on another level.
Uruguay brought Cavani along, and they had their best tournament ever. Other teams like Brazil, Ukraine, Vietnam, Colombia, Portugal, India, Peru, and Romania were all part of the drama, losing their knockout games by nail-biting penalty shootouts.
And there’s one more moment to mention—Stoleriu, who ended up as the top scorer of the tournament. His goals truly made a difference and kept the fans on the edge of their seats.
Overall, Nations Cup XIII was a rollercoaster of emotions. It had intense games, shocking upsets, and moments that will stay with me for a long time. Covering this tournament was a dream come true, and I’m super excited to see where the next edition takes us.
