Linholm, Mercenaries embrace the Role of Underdog

[RandomHero 55]

The World Cup always has it`s fair share of surprises and great stories, but this year we seem to be treated to an extra special one. A team of all the rejects from the other roster squads was set to used in this tournament with the hopes to make things more competitive and give those fringe players a chance to play in the tournament. While they were only expected to maybe steal a game or two from a team, they were never really predicted to go far in the tournament.

 

But as luck and fate unfolded, this team of pass-overs have taken the tournament by storm and are now sitting atop the tournament standings with a perfect record of 4-0, defeating the powerful Canadian, Scandanavian, European and American squads in the process. One of the bright spots for the Mercenaries this tournament has been the play of Swedish Winger, Jakob Linholm.

 

“It has been fun for us, we`ve been playing loose and I feel like that has helped us. We never had any pressure going into the tournament and we feel like we can continue to compete with these teams. As long as they keep assuming that they will run over us, they are not going to beat us, we work too hard for that too happen.”
