Thread Closed with 42 participants...thought we'd have more, but some of the "experts" from other threads failed to show up.

Thanks to all for playing and I hope it will be a good contest and keep us amused over these long winter nights.

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.


Bowl by Bowl selections:

Bowl 1:  Brazil 20, Belgium 3, Argentina 16, France 3
Bowl 2: England 7, Spain 12, Netherlands 15, Portugal 8

Bowl 3: Denmark 10, Germany 29, Croatia 0, Mexico 3
Bowl 4: Uruguay 29, Switzerland 5, USA 4, Senegal 4

Bowl 5: Poland 21, Iran 0, Serbia 18, Morocco 3
Bowl 6: Japan 12, Wales 17, South Korea 11, Tunisia 2

Bowl 7: Costa Rica 1, Ecuador 19, Australia 4, Cameroon 18
Bowl 8: Canada 10, Qatar 2, Saudi Arabia 1, Ghana 29

I think poster "dec" has 7 of the 8 most common picks, choosing Switzerland instead of Uruguay.

Most common final pairings are Brazil/France with 11 and Brazil/Argentina with 7.

The thread will be locked until the entirety of Round 1 is complete.  Scores will be posted at that time.

Remember each country will have their goals scored added to the points from the group...it will be World Cup GAA-style with Goals and Points counting.

Easier to do daily updates...

After 4 games, the top points go to England with 9.  Ecuador and Netherlands have 5 each, and Iran, USA and Wales all have 2 each.  Goals scored plus 3 points for a win an 1 for a draw is how each country gets points - there is no penalty for conceding a hatful, hence Iran have the same number of points as USA and Wales.

With regard to our contest here, the leaderboard is:

16 Blowitupref

14 SHEEDY, smort, JohnDenver   

12 maddog, John Martin, David McKeown, dec

11 toby47, BennyHarp, RedHand88

10 pbat, Milltown Row2

I'll post the entire 42 entrants after Thursday's games.

On the other hand, Algo ONeill is also near the top, with McKeown lurking

JohnDenver probably has the trophy singing for England "Take Me Home Country Roads".

Yes, Cos I Had 26 Yesterday,

Is there a T&C ?

I had Uruguay and Ecuador mixed up in about 3 entrants, plus Poland was also misplaced.  Corrected now.

I will add each countries score daily...the score should be number of goals scored plus number of points in the group standings.

Apologies for my error, as well as assuming you had cracked the algo!

Looks better now, wasn't sure of how the scores were being added but that looks about right 8)
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
