World Cup Competition - tonto1888 crowned champion

[Aristo 60]

Morocco deserve more than a point here.

[seafoid]

It was good while it lasted! I was sitting pretty at the top there but my glory days have faded, with only Argentina and Holland left.

The Argies could at least get you to the final

Would be surprised if they even beat Holland tbh! Brazil looking seriously impressive too

O'Neill favourite, they are lined up to meet each other (possibly) Surprised France hasn't featured too much

I think people thought 2 in a row was unlikely

[Orior]

Look at those ejits at the top with Morocco and Switzerland 

Yes, ejits lol

Yeah that plus injuries to Benzema, Pogba and Kante

Regarding the picks for the final, I have Brazil beating France. I also have Brazil and Netherlands as my remaining active picks. If Netherlands get to the final do I assume they won't get me any points in the final because of my Brazil/France final pick.

Apologies...I have deleted that post and will work on getting it corrected later (might be tomorrow).

Correct post below...hope all is correct now.

Teams get points all the way...hence if Netherlands get to the final you will get their points.  The points for picking the final winner and loser is a bonus outside of bowl picks.

Final is independent of the bowl picks.

Sorry if that wasn't made clear at the beginning.

Down to the Last Eight teams in The World Cup.  Croatia and France are probably well motivated by the gaaboard crew having as many Moroccan votes as the two combined, with Croatia especially pasting this competition on the dressing room walls showing they were ignored by all 42 entrants. 

Portugal have 8 votes, Morocco have 3
England have 7, France have 3

Brazil have 20, Croatia have none,
Argentina have 16 Netherlands have 15.

To win the Final:

Brazil 19
Argentina 15
France 5
Portugal 1
Netherlands 1

To Lose the Final:

Brazil 10
France 9
Argentina 5
Portugal 2
Netherlands 2


Plenty points still available...hard to predict a winner.

I'll make a prediction right now, it won't be me

No apology needed. You are doing great work 👏

Well that's me out. Fun whilst it lasted. Thanks for organising.
