[Football] NSC 2018 World Cup Prediction Competition (Main Thread)

[Lindfield23]

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.

Oi - You leave Richie out of this!

 

[Hampden Park]

oh well, roll on the next world cup

 

[studio150]

Death or Glory time.

Unlike the Germans I won't be playing rush keeper, but I may make a deliberate foul to get an extra yellow card to ensure some extra points

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 (amexruislip)
B2 (The Brighton Bear) v E2 (Garry Nelson's Left Foot)
F1 (Triggaaar) v D2 (Frankie)
C1 (Stephen Seagull) v Lucky Loser 2 (jessiejames)
Bottom Half
D1 (Theatre of Trees) v Lucky Loser 1 (Lindfield23)
E1 (Dirty Dave) v A2 (MattBackHome)
C2 (Pavilionaire) v F2 (Simster)
B1 (The Gem) v Lucky Loser 3 (shaolinpunk)

Penultimate table with plenty to play for on tonight's two games. I've also tidied up a few errors which appear to have crept in yesterday if some are confused by the adding up. Everything is now correct.

Good luck to the remaining participants. I am officially on the plane home. As will England be on Tuesday (ouch!!!!....and, not really).

Hats off to [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION] for brilliant work

Indeed, a lot of work that, made the games more fun, thanks Trees.

 

[studio150]

At least I've got extra time to get ready for Qatar where I believe an additional scoring category should be introduced, time for 1st water break, and number of players fainting due to heat exhaustion

Russia was fun while it lasted and thanks to [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION]

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Thanks for a great competition and all your hard work [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION], much appreciated

 

[Hampden Park]
