I don't see why the ref can't give a yellow card to the keeper when he starts all that bullshit to put off the player taking the pen.

His job is to get on his line, stay there, and move once the ball has been hit. If he booked him after the first time, he wouldn't have been able to do it again...

Nah, if your rules were not to include that game then it's all good, just asked in case you forgot it etc. Just wanted to get the confirmation that only semis and finals left.

The first semi-final is on Tuesday so make it count !! :pimp

I'm backsliding faster than a pornstar at a Crisco convention. Yikes!

Anyone with 36 points or less has pretty much been eliminated by CDSmith (that bastard!) now, no?
I can still tie him if he gets all 3 wrong, I get 2 exact scores and all 3 outcomes correct :1orglaugh

Brazil vs Germany [ 0 - 1 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 1 - 1 ]

there are only 6 points left up for grabs mate

What about 3th place match

Brazil vs Germany [ 0 - 1 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 0 - 1 ]


Good luck everyone. T'aint over til... it's over. Is there a fat lady in soccer? :D

It ain't over until the proverbial fat lady sings.

I am really hoping you are wrong on that last score!

Not included in the game, read few posts above.

only when Claire Balding fills in

Brazil vs Germany [ 1 - 2 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 2 - 1 ]

Correct score for each semi and correct score in final = 9 points... No?

You played without knowing the rules :1orglaugh:thumbsup
Correct score is 2 points :)

I'm gonna need some points so here's some perfect scores :-P

Brazil vs Germany [ 2 - 1 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 3 - 1 ]

Brazil vs Germany [ 1 - 1 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 0 - 0 ]

After consideration, we WILL be including the 3rd place playoff match. :warning


So we have 2 semi finals, 3rd place playoff, and World Cup final to play for. So 8 points still up for grabs!!

Make sure you check back in time to get your scores in. Miss it, miss out... :)

Brazil vs Germany [ 1 - 0 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 1 - 0 ]

Thanks for keeping a win possible for me ;)

too bad there's no transparency in this system

Brazil vs Germany [ 2 - 1 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 2 - 1 ]

How do you mean ??

I doubt he's calling your integrity into question by that remark. At least I hope he isn't (for his sake)

Speaking as someone who has run a fair amount of sports pools I can honestly say you've done an exceptional job with this pool, it being all done basically with a hands-on approach. Keeping track of all the scores, tabulating all the points... all I can say is bravo sir. Well done.

Yep a well run competition.

Brazil vs Germany [ 0 - 2 ]

Holland vs Argentina [ 0 - 1 ]

Not sure if it was in relation to "Relentless" post about thanking me for giving him a better chance to catch you by using the 3rd place playoff game (which i'm sure was a tongue in cheek comment itself), but the truth is that has nothing to do with it and if anything could work in your favour as you could be out of sight by the final.

I simply forgot about the 3rd place game originally, and although i'm not a fan of them, it would be silly to leave out 1 game from the World Cup in the pool. Regardless of how meaningless it is...

This contest as before is about adding some more fun to an already excellent World Cup.

The fact that a share of $1500 will be handed out to the top 5 places only adds to the fun! It cost nothing to enter, Ross from Traffic Force and the crew at Pimproll have already said their places will not count in the final standings when it comes to the prize money.

I have enjoyed taking some time out of my day to keep track of what's going on. And i'd do it all over again.


Enjoy the rest of the matches ! :thumbsup

@Scott MCD

This is been the best run world cup message board competition I have ever participated in... well, OK it's also the only one :winkwink:











Seriously you have done a great job and Traffic Force deserves a lot of credit for making the World Cup much more fun than it would have been. The only one around here fucking things up for everyone is CDSmith... and him I think we should never forgive or forget. Who picks the right score in 3 of 4 semifinals... only an asshole does something like that....I mean, really....way to ruin everything... :1orglaugh

He means that you change, reconsider etc rules as the tournament is already going on. It is understandable as it is probably your first organized game like that. Next time you will have a clear set of rules before the competition and it will be great. This is the most important part when organizing an event like that (I have done few tourneys like that myself so I speak from experience).
And no, nobody is saying anything bad towards you and this contest as it is great and free. Just some tips that may be useful for you in the future.

Taking feedback and other things into account as it goes on while being fair ? Yes

Reconsidering/changing rules? I wouldn't say any of that has happened...
