The Gatorade Road to Milan tournament is over. There were 24 teams participating and there was only one thing everybody wanted, win to go to Milan to play a soccer tournament there. But only one team could win. So all the games were really good and intense because everybody wanted to go to Milan.

For me and my team it was not a really good experience because it looked like some teams were cheating on how many points they had and also how many games they won. For example, my team was in the first group and there were 5 other teams in our group, we were 6. So the group 1 manager was writing down all the points and games won by every team, but there was one team that didn’t managed to get to the tournament and didn’t played that had more points and games won than two other teams. And they were third on the positions table.

That was kind of nonsense for everyone because they didn’t even participate. But then we saw that one other team was telling the manager to give them some more points. Everybody in the group 1 was feeling upset and angry because nobody liked that there was a lot of cheating in the tournament. The good thing is that then someone told the tournament manager and he went there and fixed it. It never happened again but there was this feeling that the other team coach could do it again or maybe another coach.

But now let’s get to how my team did. We didn’t manage to get to the final to see if we were going to be able to go and participate in the tournament. We got eliminated in the quarter finals. But we weren’t feeling that bad because we knew that we gave almost everything that we had and that we played well. There were just other teams that played better. My group was also the hardest one and the one in which nobody knew before who would get the first place. And it was like that, so here is how the group ended up:

1. Juveniles / 10 points
2. Camperonix / 9 points
3. SPS (My team) / 8 points
4. FC Jutiapa / 8 points
5. CA Juniors / 7 points
6. Academia Memin / 0 points

So as you can see it was a really close group and only the first three teams would get to the quarter finals. So we managed to get there and then Invictus eliminated us from the tournament. The team that won the final later one and get to go to Milan to play the tournament were Invictus. And if you win the tournament in Milan you get tickets to go see the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL. So what should a team do to get to win this type of tournaments?

Here is the final video of the tournament:
