This is pretty funny.
“Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands.

The US came in fourth, with only two victories — Germany and Japan.
It reminds me of the old joke that college football is the only sport where the champion is determined by drunks arguing in bars. Which is why they brought in the computers, I guess.

And then there was the apocryphal quote from the mayor of Hiroshima: “What the fuck was that?”
Umm, how did Germany defeat Sweden?
…how did Germany defeat Sweden?
Yeah, they screwed that one up.
They forgot the playoffs.
Someone once told me of a bit of humor involving a tournament tree filled with the names of various nations. Afghanistan and Vietnam were slated to play in the finals, having beaten the USSR and the US, respectively, in the semifinals.
