Bollocls - is it too late to change?
So 2-0 to Czech at half time.

Edit: having checked pm, I realise it was my mistake, not yours!

I remember thinking "wow!, Stew is taking a big gamble...." (I'll allow the edit

)

I would like to see I feel shafted by the Portuguese, Dutch, Greeks and Czechs

JC · 1 Jul 2004, 22:14

I am lolly roffling at the fact Stew changed his score.

God knows if i am through or not but i think Koen might have it because he said Greece would score.

*fingers crossed*

i think koen is through, since he predicted the first goal on netherlands vs portugal right.

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 00:49

I haven't forgotten, just finding it really difficult to find a fair way of deciding it (I hate it, I really do

)

Greece 1-0 Czech Republic (HT 0-0, goal 105)

Code:

          Gre-Cze HT   1st Pts Total

Leshy (0)  1 - 2  1-1   24  0    0 
vs
Stew  (2)  1 - 3  0-2   13  0    2 

Koen  (2)  1 - 2  1-0   30  0    2 
vs
JC    (4)  0 - 2  0-1   38  0    4

edit : 'championship' update isn't necessary because no-one scored anything

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 01:21

Code:

          Por-Hol  HT   1st
Actual     2 - 1   1-0   26
Koen       2 - 3   1-1   25 (scored 2 for time +-1 min)
JC         3 - 2   1-1   27 (scored 2 for almost (generally right + goal difference),
                             and 2 for time +-1 min)

          Grk-Cze  HT   1st
Actual     1 - 0   0-0  105
Koen [J]   1 - 2   1-0   30 
JC   [J]   0 - 2   0-1   38

Last goal decider didn't work, obviously as there were no normal time goals.

So... JC or Koen?

On the one hand, Koen didn't pick the winner in either match, while JC had Portugal to beat Holland.

On the other, Koen correctly forecast Portugal to score 2, and Greece to score 1, which are the details I used to decide the Koen vs MrL quarter-final.

I'm tempted to appoint 5 judges, let them vote and go with the majority. Better ideas?

Anyone know an online 2 player penalty shootout game?

EDIT : Koen didn't score anything for Czech 0-1 Greece HT prediction... I had earlier given a point and doubled it for the joker, putting him and JC on 4-4

Knight Theamion · 2 Jul 2004, 01:30

check the minutes in which they scored, and koen forecasted the goals correct.

Zharkov · 2 Jul 2004, 01:43

if the half time score was 0-0 in the game, why did Koen get a point for predicting 1-0?

or am i missing something?

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 01:49

OMG!

I arrived late, saw quotes like those below, and just somehow unquestionably agreed that they must be on equal points :eek:

Zharkov, thanks very much for pointing out what now seems extremely obvious

Zharkov · 2 Jul 2004, 02:04

no problem.

I dont think Koen will be thanking me though :(

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 02:15

I was going to make Koen vs Leshy a 3rd place playoff, but Leshy's gone, so Koen is automatically 3rd.

the big final : JC v STEW
if they pick the same score, I'll scream. I'll have them predicting so many details that they can't possibly draw.

Didnt think I was 'cos in my head Leshy had predicted 0-0 half time.
I also lolly roffled at myself for changing it!

Bring it on JC!!!!

JC · 2 Jul 2004, 11:04

[Janice]
OH

MY

GOD

!
[/Janice]

Who would have guessed me and Stew in the final when he was miles behind in the group with only a few games left :eek:. Time to put some serious thought into my prediction.

*opens random number generator*

Stew · 2 Jul 2004, 11:31

I know - I'm a surprised as anyone.

Do we have to predict the 3rd/4th play off 1-X?

JC · 2 Jul 2004, 12:02

There isnt a 3rd/4th play off. Thats only in the World Cup.

Stew · 2 Jul 2004, 12:05

Oh right, I did wonder why I'd not heard about it!!

There clearly should be.

roadrunner_0 · 2 Jul 2004, 12:26

i really do think that its an absolutly shocking final though

What? Me vs JC?
Yeah I agree with you.

roadrunner_0 · 2 Jul 2004, 12:32

well, i was actually on about portugal v greece, but you know, your post will do

KoeN · 2 Jul 2004, 14:13

me and leshy both knocked out in the semi finals. it can't get more dutch than that.
i still consider myself as the moral winner though

that just proves it

it really makes me appreciate the auto-checking I've got for the normal league/early rounds

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 17:19

i can see where I was a little unclear

yes, the extra-time goal is a time.
0-1 predictions highlight a small problem with first and last goal; I think you did the right thing in only posting one time

one more thing, the sending off is intended to be IF someone gets sent off... (not will someone y/n) so put a name there.

I'll edit the entry form for the others.

sending off : put a name of someone who might be

put ET and Pens stuff even if it contradicts your normal score prediction. You could put Greece 2-0 Portugal, but if this was totally wrong and we had ET and pens, it's fine to put a Portugal win there

predictions don't have to be consistent tho ?

I'd rather they were, the normal time part at least. The rest just covers all eventualities so there is no chance (I hope) of a draw in the actual final. As I said, I'm happy for inconsistency in the extra time and pens part (which might never happen), think of it as another chance to score.

if only one goal was scored, you can't have 2 points because it was the first and last goal

Stew · 2 Jul 2004, 17:31

How close are mine and JC's prediction 1-X, dont tell us what each other has predicted etc, just say if itslikely to be a draw.
Also why dont u add something so theres no chance of a draw to be a final tie break - like attendance, where its v. .v unlikely to be the same.

Dont think I didnt see this

JC · 2 Jul 2004, 17:34

I havent predicted yet mate. A bit busy doing multiple things at once at the mo, i'll PM 1-X my guesstimates later tonight.

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 17:43

Stew has had a thing for attendances for quite some time now so OK, just for the two finalists and I'm sure it will never be needed

, go ahead and predict the attendance as a tiebreaker

as a guide, it's in the same stadium where Portugal v England had 62,564

having seen both sets of predictions, the attendance may well be the decider

JC · 2 Jul 2004, 20:37

Those turnstyle people better be good at counting.

1-X · 2 Jul 2004, 20:41

you're both free to edit anytime before kickoff, maybe if late team news makes you rethink etc
