those with an * next to their name means they have played their joker in the first round
those with an ** next to their name means they have played their joker in the second round
those with an *** next to their name means they have played their joker in the third round
those in bold are in qualifying positions

After the second set of group games the Second Round line up is currently looking like this:
Top Half
A1 (dazzer6666) v Luckly loser 4 (Studio150)
B2 (The Brighton Bear) v E2 (Garry Nelson's Left Foot)
F1 (Triggaaar) v D2 (Frankie)
C1 (Stephen Seagull) v Lucky Loser 2 (Glanders)
Bottom Half

GROUP F
De la zouch

 

[Triggaaar]

[MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION] - Just to clarify my typo above on the prediction - 0-0 at half time obviously and 1st goal 50 mins

 

[Dirty Dave]

[MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION] - Just to clarify my typo above on the prediction - 0-0 at half time obviously and 1st goal 50 mins

And if the first goal was scored in the 45th minute... ; )

As I predicted 0-0 for half time I wouldn't be predicting the 1st goal to be scored in the 1st half.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

I've interpreted it as 45th. Have given you the 0-0 at half time.

 

[dadams2k11]

[emoji38]

You're smashing it Trig. What's the secret? [emoji106]

 

[ManOfSussex]

I've interpreted it as 45th. Have given you the 0-0 at half time.

It was my typo, so my error and you're running things, but as I'd put 0-0 for half time, I did honestly mean 50 minutes for the time of the first goal in the 2nd half, I'd have put 46 minutes not 45 otherwise.

 

[Triggaaar]

You're smashing it Trig. What's the secret? [emoji106]

I pray to our Lord above for results to go in my favour. Kinda surprised the rest of you aren't doing it.

Makes sense and I believe you, but pretty funny that you'd have got it spot on without the typo.

That's a stinker.

I've have been doing that for the majority of my life, only seemed to work 16/17 season.

Maybe I'm out of credits?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Makes sense and I believe you, but pretty funny that you'd have got it spot on without the typo.

Even funnier is I'd be in a lucky loser qualifying spot right now with it.

Just gone to VAR and your appeal has been upheld. Tables have been edited. To be fair to others the 8 extra points you have gained will not count if used as a tiebreaker.

 

[Petee]

I too made a typo. Where I put 4-1 Germany, I meant 2-0 Korea and where I put 2-1 Mexico, I meant 3-0 Sweden.

 

[Gazwag]

My 4 points from my joker game was a minor cloud over a Germany are out sunny blue sky

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I too made a typo. Where I put 4-1 Germany, I meant 2-0 Korea and where I put 2-1 Mexico, I meant 3-0 Sweden.

It looks like i've made a typo or two (dozen) as well
I seemingly have accidentally put the wrong result predictions down for every fixture in the 3rd round of games except for Uruguay beating Russia and Croatia beating Iceland

I hope you haven't put down the same final result predictions as me for any of the remaining games otherwise your chances of progression in this game don't look good (thank God i don't bet of football results)

 

[Petee]

Today is going to kill off my chances I think

[Nathan]

Like the Germans, I think I am going home.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Like the Germans, I think I am going home.

I don't like the Germans, but I think I am also going home. Hang on, I am already at home. Everyone's a winner

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I note some of the nobbers who signed up then made no predictions. Towell on the sunbed at midnight, then adrift, in a drunken stupor with a ladyboy, who is at this very moment taking all the money out of your wallet, the next day. I have absolutely no sympathy. Just contempt. Contempt.
