World Cup Prediction Competition.....

[jackr]

Jack, thats the best look you've ever had!

(Pity about the stripes)

Yep, homegrown, too. Best stay out of the visa forums for a bit though

[chonabot]

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.......

Homegrown?Strewth!

[ProfessorFart]

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.'

I almost feel sorry for you TP....almost!

WEll APPARANTLY I DID get one right (Thanks for letting me know Chon)

Panama 2 T & T 0...so I will be hot on your tail now Mate as me confidence is brimming

[chonabot]

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.

And you're ABOVE me in the rankings...!!!

[chonabot]

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.

Well we now know at least who the drinks will be on at the end of the comp.................. :D

[OneeyedJohn]

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.

[daleyboy]

Come on Chon, please put the names in alphabetical order, that means i am one place higher

[mrbojangles]

Bloody h3ll Daleyboy. You'll be wanting them in order of height next . Oh wait a minute, hold your horses. Starting with the shortest at the top and the tallest at the bottom

P.S. Chon, for reference, i'm a 3ft 6" midget

[ThaiPauly]

It would appear that in the new scoring calculations I have actually SLIPPED 3 places.

That after I had found out I got a score right

Bummer, and I got the first two tonight completley wrong

[mrbojangles]

Bummer, and I got the first two tonight completley wrong

Ditto I had USA to win and italy to draw.

[chonabot]

What a pile of kaka, I got 0 points for those 2 games, as did many of you, including Croc!

Well at the least the septics have been sent home....

Here's the 100% correct table ( honest guv ) I will update after the evenings games....

Jap 0 Bra 3

Cro 2 Oz 1

Please update your xl sheets, with the teams names in the appropriate places, and send them to my email account. If there is a problem please just pm me the scores.

I require these before each games kick off, it will make it easier for me if you submit all four games at once, but up to you.....

I will post the predictions on here prior to each game for a bit of fun...( oooh my sides........ )

If I have not received your predictions before the match starts, you will score 0 points ( d'oh... )

These games are so easy to predict.........I (and the wife.....) will be amongst the top ten by the 26th.........

I did it. I wrote the 500th post...does that qualify for second round (bedlam)

One beer for all - that's acceptable.

You´re nit-picking............. for that you get to buy 2 beers now for each and every one of us........

[chonabot]

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.

Fattie equals the World cup goal scoring record

Kewell thinks about all the Sheilas he can shag off the back of that beauty goal, Ripper!

Chons - no pic of the Gerry Ref in the Yank/Ghana Match???

[Old Croc]

So, how much do I win for leading after the qualifying round?

Go Socceroos!

[Sing_Sling]

Cracked the half-century!!!! On a roll now . . .

[Simmo]

Drats ..

Brazil had to go and score 1 more goal .. I would have had a nice 10 pointer

[ThaiPauly]

Just a quickie

Are results after 90 minutes in the knockout stages...ie can u predict 1-1 and pick up maximum points, or are results as per the end of the match before it goes to penalties?

Cheers

TP

(Not that it makes much difference to me now.. I wouldprobably have to predict every match correctly to get up to half way!!)
