Not too surprisingly none of us went for such a one-sided result as Germany beating Brazil 7-1. Apple_Crumble, bazzaroo, Cissy Fairfax, clarky323, Cuishla, Darren Lethem, dbal, DDRickyDD, digiremote, DimbleBurbleby, DimSum, Hutchy_Muse, jake1981, James1953, Realale, taurus_67, Thebenster, tonypennys and TruffleShuffle were the players who did score 8 points each for predicting that Germany would win.
Netherlands v Argentina
We have 11 player tipping Netherlands to win, 17 going for a draw and 29 players have backed Argentina to win. The most popular prediction is a 2-1 Argentina win as 15 players have gone for that. There are also 7 players going for them to win 1-0 and two going for a 2-0 win. 9 players have gone for a 1-1 draw (with five of those players gambling on Netherlands making the final, three gambling on Argentina and one player not gambling). Five players have gone for it to be goalless after 90 minutes (with four of them gambling on Argentina progressing and the other player going for Netherlands). Four players have gone for Netherlands to win 2-1 and three have gone for a 1-0 win. We have 12 uber-max predictions for this match: both the 3-1 Argentina win and the 3-2 Netherlands win have been chosen by four players each. There are also three players going for a 2-2 draw (with two players gambling on Argentina to win and one going for Netherlands). Finally one player has gone for a 3-2 Argentina win.
Not quite a repeat of the goalfest from last night, but at least we have some maxes being picked up tonight. basdfg, DimbleBurbleby, EPY, O'Neill and TruffleShuffle have scored 16 points from the goalless 90 minutes so far. The first four of those players have gambled half their points on Argentina making the final, whilst the fifth player has gone for Netherlands to progress.
bazzaroo, DDRickyDD, Hutchy_Muse, tso, WoodsMonk and Xavier Quebeck have gained 8 points each for predicting extra time would be needed. They have each gambled on Netherlands to progress. Likewise clarky323, Hibs-kid-2007, Matthartlane, neilwatson and willrelf92 each went for a draw, but have gambled on Argentina being the eventual winners. Finally spindiddly also went for a draw after 90 minutes, but did not gamble so has a guaranteed 8 points.
Quite a key eight points for spindiddly there, think it puts him back on top going into the final and third place play off (no dead rubbers in our comp folks :cool:)
Basdfg, DimbleBurbleby, EPY and O'Neill all got the goalless 90 minute scoreline spot on and then made a successful gamble on Argentina making the final to end up with 24 points each. TruffleShuffle also got the 90 minute score correct but had a failed gambled on Netherlands and so ends up with 8 points from this match. clarky323, Hibs-kid-2007, Matthartlane, Neilwatson and willrelf92 also went for a draw and a successful gamble on Argentina to end up with 12 points from this match. Bazzaroo, DDRickyDD, Hutchy_Muse, Tso, WoodsMonk and Xavier Quebeck also went for a draw but gambled on Netherlands to win so they claim 4 points each. As mentioned before spindiddly went for a draw and did not gamble so scores 8 points.
Well done to my fellow mucker Dim B on top scoring the semi’s courtesy of landing the 0-0 last night and successfully gambling on Argentina (24 points) and predicting the right winner (Germany) in the other (8 points).
Dim was one of only six players to predict the right result after 90 minutes in both semi-finals, whilst 27 of us, nearly half the field, incurred a double fail.
Key:
1 = Round 01 Score (groups)
2 = Round 02 Score
3 = Round 03 Score
4 = Last 16 Score
Q = Quarter Finals Score
S – Semi-Final score
B = Bonus Points
T = Overall Total
M = Maxes: number of perfect scorelines you achieved (worth 5 points)
U = Ubermaxes: ditto but in games with 4+ goals (earns 7 points)
C = number of correct results you’ve predicted
As mentioned last night, Spindiddly’s eight points from a crorrect result, ungambled draw prediction last night was enough to see him take the lead as we go into the final / 3rd place play off.
Dim’s heroics saw him leap 21 places, a rise equalled only by EPY. Elsewhere, O’Neill whizzed up the table from 21st to 6th to get within striking distance at the business end of the tournament.
Stats:
Brazil v Germany------- 12 25 19 00 19 152
Netherlands v Argentina 11 17 29 12 05 196
Not a huge amount to report with only two matches and one of them yielding no maxes due to the preposterousness of the scoreline, so Argentina drawing with Holland over 90 minutes produced the most points with 196 in total, even if more players did tip the Germans (19) than a draw in the latter semi (17).
As always, please check your score and notify either organiser should there be any issues.
Am I right in thinking that in the 3rd place match draws stay as a draw ? No extra time etc
No I'm sure it goes to extra time and penalties if needed. For whatever reason FIFA need a definitive 3rd and 4th place, I'm inclined to agree with Van Gaal though
