[Theatre of Trees]

So Panama won 14-13 on penalties? And the 3-3 final score was not included in the 14-13?

Sorry

Correct

 

[The Gem]

Correct

Wow that was some penalty shoot out

How does a 0-0 work in terms of predicting time of first goal? Do you just say 0 minutes and get 10 points? Asking for a friend.

no goal = 10 points, so correct.

Tables after France v Denmark (0-0, 0-0, n/a, 1 yc, 0 rc - total points = 20)
Tables after Australia v Peru (0-1, 0-2, 18th minute, 6 yc, 0 rc - total points = 25)

My hunch that France and Denmark wouldn't break to much sweat in trying to win gives me the first full house played with my joker.

[Theatre of Trees]

If points are level in the table then the first tiebreak is based on number of points gained by correct predictions, spare a though for Petee, he's level on points with Simster for an automatic slot but loses the tiebreak 36-34. He's also level with the third and fourth highest lucky losers with jessiejames and Lindfield23 but loses the tiebreak on that one 57-35-34 respectively.

Impressive.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Impressive.

You had the same idea, it just screamed out we'll play for a draw, the Danes would just defend and the French couldn't be arsed.

 

[Triggaaar]

You had the same idea

But I didn't play my joker. I actually thought it would be 1 yc too, but the reward for getting that right just isn't worth it.

it just screamed out we'll play for a draw, the Danes would just defend and the French couldn't be arsed.

Yep.

Thanks

You were in the hunt for ages, mind you still plenty of points to play for.

 

[Nathan]

Come on Germany you ****ing *****. I have my joker on this game ffs.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I played my joker on the Germany game. Thought it would end 2-0.


To Germany...



Oh well!

 

[Lindfield23]

I played my joker on the Germany game. Thought it would end 2-0.


To Germany...



Oh well!

Likewise - also predicted 5 yellow cards, but only 4 were given

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

The only thing I got right was zero red cards.

And yet, the result more than makes up for it!

 

[ManOfSussex]

Final Round of Group Games Predictions:

Mexico (0) 1 V 1 (0) Sweden
1G = 450
YC = 3
RC = 0

[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
