As expected Patrice Bernier emerged victorious from Group C with a large 67% of the vote, leaving Justin Mapp, Bacary Sagna and Zachary Brault-Guillard to fight it out for runner-up and a place in the round of 16.
And it was former US-international Mapp, two-time Canadian Championship MVP, who claimed second spot with 21% of the vote to Sagna’s 10% and Zachary Brault-Guillard’s 3%.
In the round of 16, Bernier will meet the runner-up from Group F containing Dominic Oduro, Marco di Vaio, Alessandro Nesta and Blerim Dzemaili, while Justin Mapp awaits the winner of that group.
Bernier’s 67% share of the vote is the highest of all three completed group winners so far, but that record looks likely to come under challenge from the current Group D poll launched just this evening. And that’s because Didier Drogba unsurprisingly is making most of the early running.
Will Didier better Bernier’s 67%? It certainly looks like he’ll go close, but just as interesting is the battle for second spot with Hassoun Camara, Matteo Ferrari and the comparatively youthful Lassi Lappalainen all locking horns.
