World Cup Prediction Competition.....

[chonabot]

I´m hoping for a 2-0 win to rocket me up the table............

Sorry mate , you predicted 2- 1

Nice 8 pointer for us both!

I will update table after Sweden win 2-1......................

[Nongwahyay]

Just got back from watching the England game against T and T at the Brandenburg Gate........ and must say..............WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!!!!!!! I read a few comments just now in related threads from one or two of you, who thought England´s performance was reasonable, hopeful and even good..............I´m no football expert .....but..........were we watching the same match????? That was an awful performance..... Crouch (...ouch!!!), Beckham moderate, Rooney....didn´t do much at all.....The Trinis put the fear of God into you with repeated counter attacks..... and never mind the missed opportunities on the English side...what about those of the Trinis??? I think I´ll go incognito to the next game...........

[Nongwahyay]

A question for Chonabot............. as I predicted 2-0, and it was 2-0 after 90 minutes, that means that I get full points, doesnt it??? Your rules state at the end.........NOTE: All predictions are based on 90mins. Extra time, golden goals, penalties etc. do not count.

What do you say to that one??????

[Nongwahyay]

Now I feel like a dumbo................ in the excitement amongst the crowds I didn´t register that Trinidad´s "goal" in extra time was disallowed..... and when I got home the Sweden game was already on.........have just seen that the game ended 2-0 for England......... just ignore my previous comment.... I do feel a fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Points deducted for jumping the gun....................

A result is exactly that , 90 minutes plus added time for injuries/stoppage.

In the knockout stages if a game is 0 - 0 at full time , and you have predicted this, then you will get maximum points. The game will continue into extra time , whatever the result is after the extra time , or if it continues to penalties, the 0 - 0 score at full time is the only one that counts.

Added time , ie 3 mins for stoppages, is part of the full-time period.

The Trinidad goal , if allowed, was not in extra-time , it was added time, there is a difference.

Right heres the table at the end of play today. By the way I wasn't overly impressed with England today , but hey, we're through with a game to spare, I'll take that.......

I've had a few good days TP , but I'm convince the Ozzie results will see an end to the Giant reptile's reign of terror.

ie They will lose badly and he will predict otherwise........allegedly

Why's that ThaiPauly?

(They have a very appropriate "smilie" on another forum that I would have liked to use here!)

[Old Croc]

Can't believe Scouse has jumped to 3rd. What does he know about football, he's a Liverpool fan for fcuks sake

The cream always rises to the top....

Scouse.

I guess I'm the exception to the rule!

No cheque from me Chon: I'm going to rely on good old blackmail.

Now, somewhere in the mists of time, I recall you posting on the forum something along the lines of, in reality, you are Scottish.....

Scouse.

I was lead to believe that also. I was wondering about the new avatar. No real Scotsman would have that. UNLESS its a piss take.

This is a fact.

Born South Uist 7/10/1965.

Mother Scottish , Father English , Brother English, Sister Welsh.

Lived most of my life in Singapore/RSA/England.

The usual anti-English trait has been beaten out of me by my father who was a RSM.

I am a traitor, I am worth less than 90 kg of salt.

If Scotland were in Germany I would be supporting them.

But they are not.

Come on England!!!!
