chonabot Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Chon,Has anyone else FAILED to predict one score correctly yet, or is it only me??? Darned Mexicans missing that penalty, that would have done it for me.. I am in abject depession..its impossible to get so many wrong, and half of them by 1 goal I think there are a few others as well TP, it really is down to luck at the end of the day. I may go through the scores later today and come up with a few stats and "speshun" awards at the end of the tourney....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I haven't called a single one right yet TP! Or at least I don't think I have........ I just noticed this post is 400 odd posts already and theres still 2 weeks to go plus the aftermath! I reckon we should get after that 'rain' thread and some of those rambling ones usually involving tippaporn et al. in 'Farang Pub' and 'Bedlam.'

chonabot Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well lads , up to today i have been doing the scores manually, I originally had a super duper spreadsheet, but lost it... Yesterday, after some cock-ups from me, I searched in earnest, eventually I built a sheet that calculates the scores, it seems to work. One problem. There are now some anomalies with the original scores. Basically some cockups have been ironed out and have resulted in your totals being altered. Guys I'm really sorry for this, mostly it is one or 2 points out, some of your scores remain the same, some go up, some go down. Heres the new table , it is correct, and sorry again.

chonabot Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Me again, , the following 2nd round fixtures have been finalised , can you please send in your predictions? Please email them to me, if this is a problem you can post them on this thread. If it's cool with you guys, prior to the matches I will post the predictions, along with mine, on the thread for a laugh. A few of you have predicted this round blindly, you can either send in some new ones or leave them as that. Saturday, 24 June 2006 Argentina v Mexico, 20:00 Germany v Sweden, 16:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, 25 June 2006 England v Ecuador, 16:00 Portugal v Holland, 20:00 I will post a reminder for the Monday and Tuesday games after the last group match is played on Fri night/ Sat morning. Likewise with the QF matches and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneeyedJohn Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 It is obvious those predictors who have reached 100 points or more know wot they are talking about. So don't you think those below that level shuld go in to a repercharge or plate comp on their own and let the 'experts' fight it out for the top prize.

Why dont we just cross out the first digit for them though, if these 'experts" are soooooooooooooooooo clever, they should catch up anyway again......let's do that, as of Saturday.

chonabot Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Well, Ozzies are through , deservedly so, the ref should have been shot, how many yellows did he need to show before a red , 5 ? Japan looked good until " I predict a diet " Ronaldo decided to score a few. I can't believe teams like Croatia and Czech are out , but welcome to Ghana and Australia... I might even back them to oust the eyeties in the next round. Explorer soars up the ranks while most of us got a measly 3 points max there, Tytus got a nice 11 as well. I have a feeling that Croc may get caught in the next few days..... If mr Siam Superfly is reading this , is our bet still on , blood ? After tomorrow's games finish could you , time permitting' try and send me the 2nd round predictions please? I will then publish them here , and try to add a few anacdotes.... Here's the state of play after day 14 , with a few pics to show some world cup history made today.
