frank60 , it was lunchtime here in Bali when I posted that . I would take credit however for the fact that another Northern Ireland friend who now lives in Bali and I were probably the first to toast the Irish win with a beer it being that time of day here , as we watched the winning shot via skygo .

The tournament will feature 14 teams, the same number as the 2011 World Cup, giving associate and affiliate member nations a chance to participate.[11]
The format is the same as the 2011 edition: 14 teams will take part in the initial stages, divided into two groups of seven; the seven teams play each other once before the top four teams from each group qualify for the quarter-finals. The format ensures that each team gets to play a minimum of six matches even if they exit in the group stage.
