<p><span><span><span><span><span>The tournament may not have been the best but there were some great matches played.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>The officiating was of the highest order, and there appeared to be far less backchat, diving and blatant 'professionalism' from the players.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>With the exception of a small percentage of 'fans' the tournament was a happy party.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>There were some monumental upsets.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>Many of the matches were too close to call prior to kick-off, which differed from previous tournaments where many matches were a foregone conclusion.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>It was great to see the emergence of the smaller countries - player base and/or population - and the remergence of forgotten countries like Hungary.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>Great to see a different name on the trophy.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span>Overall a very enjoyable month or so. For some countries at least.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
