In the final classification 𝖱𝖠𝖣𝖤𝖰𝖰 Poland took 5th place. This country wasn't an easy opponent. They may be indicated by the results of some matches: - 4:6 (match against
USA) - 5:4 (match against
Iceland) - 4:6 (match against
Romania)
Looking at the result of the match Poland vs
Norway, where Cleo lost 1:8, you can say that the country was weak. In my opinion, these countries have chosen very good songs, but after the first fixture, it turned out that Norway had a better track. A whole group consisted mostly from great songs.Norway
Norway has established a record difference of goals in a single match. In match against 
Zimbabwe Norway won 10:0!
This country belonged to the group of possible favorites to win the tournament in Szczecin.
Wins 8:1 (against Poland), 8:2 (against 
Sweden) and 10:0 (against Zimbabwe) showed the power of Norway in the tournament.
Norway has suffered a great loss in the semifinal when it had to acknowledge the superiority of Romania.
In the match for 3rd place a country fought with its group opponent - USA. In the first match it was a draw 4:4, but in the penultimate match of the tournament Norway lost 3:6 and finally finished 4th.
United States, which in the semifinal were defeated by 
United Kingdom.
USA was the most difficult team to beat in Group A. Norway managed to draw against with America 4:4. Poland managed to get 4 goals in the match, which finally ended in victory for the US 4:6. United States showed its power in the match against the 
Philippines (the only team that managed to win all group matches). The fight ended with a score of 7:3 for the US.
USA lost its first match in the semifinals. It lost against the United Kingdom just one point! Country could fight in the final, because in this fixture wasn't voted four users, who could give points for US.
In my opinion, the United States of America is the biggest loser of the tournament in Szczecin. Josh's Tattoo (Inactive) must enjoy the third place.

Sweden
user: @aalto
@aalto Last place (12th) took Sweden. The reason for taking the last place was a big difference of goals earned and against (-20).
Song issued by @aalto wasn't strong enough to be able to qualify for the play-offs.
Sweden was an easy opponent, as evidenced by the results of Swedish matches:
Israel was one of four countries that fought for the promotion in play-offs. Finally, it took the 10th place. This country can be regarded as a medium opponent.
Israel lost 3 of 4 matches - 2:7 (Israel vs Zimbabwe), 3:5 (Israel vs Philippines) and 4:5 (Israel vs 
Australia; in play-offs).
I hope that Israel will return to the tournament with a better song, which will win a next edition.

Zimbabwe

Black Butterfly The second country of the group B is Zimbabwe. The representative of this country was Kyla La Grange, who is not a citizen of Zimbabwe. Why was she allowed to the competition? Because her father is from Zimbabwe 
In the group stage, the country won two matches (against Israel and 
Turkey). It lost only in a duel with the Philippines.
Zimbabwe finally ended in its group in 2nd place, which gave the qualification to the quarter-finals, in which Norway won 10:0.
In the final classification country took 8th place.

Turkey
user: Acelya
Acelya 11th team of tournament is Turkey. In the first edition representative of Turkey was the band She Past Away.
The country lost all three group matches and failed to qualify for the play-offs. Turkey was close to victory in one of the matches (Turkey vs Israel, 4:6).
Is Turkey will go to Romania? I hope that Turkish broadcaster will issue an official statement.

Before the start of the tournament Australia had to change its song, because the first song was overused.

Iceland is a country that was eliminated from the competition in a tournament in the play-offs after losing a match against Poland.
Iceland gained an average of 4.25 goals per match. This number influenced not so good results of Iceland:
I hope that in next editions Iceland will show its best side and win the International Tournament of Music!

Iceland hasn't a bad song, but the group C, which it belonged, was the group of death. The results achieved by the country didn't show the possibility of the Icelandic proposal to victory.
I hope that in next editions Iceland will show its best side and win the International Tournament of Music!
