Quarter to

Time was running out for some

Updated points heading into the quarter finals:


Patrick - 80
Jamie - 60
Corey - 56
Casey - 52
Aaron - 51
Willy - 47
Ben H - 47
Nick G - 45
Logan - 39
Ben B - 39
Lachlan - 36
Graham - 34
Rauru - 34
Geoff - 29
Dan - 27
Joe - 26


Biggest mover was Jamie, who with 27 points (two correct scores, 1 margin, and 1 team) made a massive move up the table. It's a 20 point gain on Paddy who's lead at the front could be taken at any time. As much as the points system is flawed it certainly adds excitement and no-one is out of contention at this stage. A few correct scores and it's all on.

A few people asked, and most assumed correctly, that the score will be taken after 90 minutes. If it goes to extra time, then the result is a draw. Impossible to sort out otherwise and that is how betting agencies run it.

Hate to break it to you Rauru but your figures are way out! I'm on 92, I'm pretty sure Casey is on 62, Corey is on 60 and Goodall 57 and they're just the ones I've been tracking..

This competition is void! I refuse to pay my entry fee!

What Paddy, so you don't track the results of the no-hopers! is that how it goes?

Paddy said...

If you're referring to yourself Aaron (I would never call you a no-hoper) I believe you had 53 points prior to the game today so Rauru has ripped you off too!

I'm with you Paddy, my scores are the same as yours!

Ben Hodges said...

All of you (above) can start up your own competition and leave this one to me if you like...

Rauru said...

Alright alright. There will be a formal investigation into it this weekend.

Come on Joe ... ain't like you to be running last. Perhaps the Turkey upset will see you off bottom.

In sadder news the cricket stallions comprehensively beat the soccer stallions in online risk. But since survivors Robin and Graham are dual stallions i guess the Stallions were winners on the day. Rauru and I may have to be dropped for the next game, and replaced with Gus and Jason who are cleaning up in the individual game.

With all the shit being slung at Rauru I just wanted to say thanks for organising it all anyway, through it all at least you were arsed to organise it all which is more than any of us lazy shits!

So Croatia-Turkey match has finished as a fairly dull nil nil, not really helping anyone with the tipping. Croatia with a few chances and one abolute shocker by Olic, who whould've been subbed by about the 60 minute mark but is still out there.

So this mornings Netherlands Russia draw (after normal time) helping noone and we are running out of available points to catch Paddy.
So far all three teams that qualified 2nd in their pool have won their quarterfinal, can Italy make that 4? (Jamie and Lachlan will be hoping so!)
Come on Spain!

energy24.7 said...

Damn it, stupid Spaniards not scoring, extends Paddy's lead!

Paddy said...

With 4 games to go (assuming there is a 3rd/4th play off), looks like Casey is the only one who can realistically catch me. Although I'm not sure what Jamie's score is now...

Am still too gutted from the weekend to really care though - especially after seeing the other results!

Rauru said...

There's no 3rd/4th playoff so the title and cash is all Paddy's (i think). Second is still open.
