Leaderboard in full:

99   lurganblue  Stewards Inquiry on lurganblue...will be corrected on 10 Dec update, but it seems this entrant got points for Morocco rather than his pick, Ghana.  He will lose some points and all other entries will be retabulated, but I think only this entrant is needing adjustment (down 6 points or so)..

Often wondered if anyone reads the posts...thanks for the observation.

I was only quoting ONeill anyway...his voice transcends the algorithm.

List modified and is now correct.

Post or PM any errors.

Great competition. The quotation marks threw me there but am getting used to why they're used.

[Aristo 60]

Need a 6-4 for Portugal today to have any hope now.
Armagh18 is the one to watch.

[seafoid]

Bowl 1:  Brazil, Belgium, Argentina, France
Bowl 2: England, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal
Bowl 3: Denmark, Germany, Croatia, Mexico

If we knew then what we know now

You fecking jinxed me lol. Some shock but fair fucks to Morocco. Would absolutely love to see them vs Croatia final

[Blowitupref]

Summary of Selections:

Win it all:  Brazil 19, Argentina 15, France 5, Portugal, Belgium and Netherlands 1 each.

Make the Final: Brazil 29, Argentina 20, France 14, Spain and Germany 4 each, Portugal, Netherlands and Uruguay 3 each, Belgium, Senegal, Japan and Mexico 1 each.

Interesting looking back on this. Brazil didn't live up to the expectations. France and Argentina may yet.

[Aristo 60]

Croatia get 4 points and Brazil get two from the first game, while Argentina get 5 and Netherlands get 3 from the second game (a point a goal, three points for winning the tie, and a point for th 90-minute draw for the loser).

Sorry lad. Morocco for Sam!

[GAABoardMod5]

All scores were checked today...lurganblue was the only entrant with an error.  All seems correct now, but PM if you think otherwise.

Morocco got 4 points today and Portugal got none in the first game.

France got 5 and England 2 get just the 1 (one) point in the second game.
