Let's get it on!!


So, after the formal investigation there was found that there was a mistake in the points which have now been rectified. And after that (plus adding in the quarters and semis points) it has been revealed that we have a new person at the bottom! Perhaps fittingly, that person is yours truely!! The bottom current Stallion however has also changed, and as a result of the quarter and semi final games Joe has managed to drag himself off the bottom and Graham has replaced him. The full points table is:

Paddy - 99
Jamie - 77
Casey - 76
Nick - 69
Corey - 64
Ben B - 63
Logan - 62
Aaron - 60
Ben H - 53
Willy - 53
Geoff - 53
Dan - 48
Joe - 47
Graham - 46
Lachlan - 46
Rauru - 42

Which all means that while Paddy has 1st place wrapped up, 2nd place can be taken by three people, four people are battling it out not to come last, and three current Stallions are sweating it out to avoid paying a record breaking $10 fine (which effectively is the punishment, and should be noted as such in the fine book!)

So, who has picked what for tonights game?

Rauru
Germany vs Spain 2-2

Willy
Germany vs Spain 5-0

Ben B
Germany vs Spain 2-1

Logan
Germany vs Spain 1-2 (torres, fabregas and ballack to score)

Geoff
Germany vs Spain 1-2 (Torres, Frebagas, Klose to score)

Aaron
Germany vs Spain 1-2

Corey
Germany vs Spain 1-1

Lachlan
Germany vs Spain 1-1 (Torres to score)
Nick G
Germany vs Spain 1-1

Graham
Germany vs Spain 1-0

Patrick
Germany vs Spain 1-1 (pig sticker (WHO??) and Torres to score)

Joe
Germany vs Spain 1-2

Jamie
Germany vs Spain 2-1

Ben H
Germany vs Spain 1-2

Dan
Germany vs Spain 1-2

Casey
Germany vs Spain 1-2 (ballack with the opener from a corner)

The keen observer will note that through the picks, Ben H is safe from last place as Joe has picked the same score as he has (and we are all safe from hearing his moaning about paying another $10 and how his kids wont be able to eat this week). But the game has added flavour for Joe and Graham, as it is now head to head. Germany win - Joe is last (at least amoung the current Stallions), Spain win or a draw - Graham is last. At the other end there is also similar outcomes with people picking different teams and scores, but it is all too much for me to work out the different outcomes, so let's just get it on!!

What a tournament.

Poor G-Man. But i think its only fair that 'original Stallion', self confessed expert and comp organiser Rauru should see G's $10. Its funny as all hell that you came dead last. anyone else agree? You have my bank account details - add it to the rest ...

Without the 40 points from the first 4 games I would have been well off the pace!
