I think I will stop predicting.
Not discussing points and such at the moment.
Hmph.

*done for matchday 2

 

[Randi Grail]

I'm gaining on you, I think. Am I? This scorekeeping is really confusing.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

You're gaining on CharleyH and BlackTulip. (Although technically - as in with hard points, not just speculation - you're gaining on Liar and Black Tulip)

I know it's a bit confusing, but really simple.

Because I'm using the average score of each player to order the table, it's actually a lot more closer to reality than a simple points table. For example, it's true that Nemasis has a three points lead, but on the other hand, I still have to add the scores of three of my players, so all odds are in favour of me ending up ahead of him.

 

[PaulUK]

Not being in any way smug, but... you know.. predictor game...

* Does funky, great equaliser Sweden dance *

Sorry about that... normal service will now be resumed.

 

[SnoopDog]

Oh dammit, I think I'll give up on predicting or talking about football. I seem to have lost all my sense for the damn thing.

Don't worry snoop. We WILL catch up in phase 3! God forbid Liar beating US! LOL

 

[Lovepotion69]

I thought Sweden would lose 0-1 against Italy. I'm happy we ended up with 1-1.

 

[SnoopDog]

You know, sometimes it seems as if God wasn't watching at all.

Hey!

 

[PaulUK]

This pesky tournament is almost impossible to predict, Snoops. I may have called Sweden vs Italy as a draw, but what sense did that make at half time? Sweden were whipped!!!

What is evident in this tournament is that some teams find it almost impossible to finish off a team they have dominated. Italy, Spain, England, Germany... so many have been guilty of it! 1-0 with 30 mins to go is no time to start pulling off strikers and playing 5 at the back!!!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Don't forget Portugal, who started pulling off against Russia with 82 minutes to go.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Hey, what do y'all think will happen on the last day of Group C? A 2-2 draw between Sweden and Denmark and it's Ciao Italia.

 

[neonlyte]

Yeh, I'm all for Italia biting dirt! We can whop those poor substitutes for Vikings any day of the week.

It's the Catholic ethic, the Portuguese are adept at withdrawal

Actually, it's not quite that easy. If Italy beat Bulgaria by 3-0, they will go through regardless of the result of the other game, since then their GD will be better than Denmark's... so I can see the Scandanavians keeping it quiet for a while, and watching the score from the other game!

What have people said about Holland vs Czech Rep today? I've gone draw... because I had no idea what these two could do.

 

[Black Tulip]

I simply refuse to discuss my predictions. I do not like to be laughed at.

AAAAANNNVVVAAALLLUUUUUHHH

[SummerMorning]

Well... theoretically, CZ-NL could be about 5-0 - but then, that's not taking into account numerous things - like probability.

No. If Sweden and Denmark draw and Italy wins, regardless of the score, we'll have a 3-way draw at 5 points. The tie-breaks will be:

1) The results between the three of them - 4 points each, still tied.

2) Goal difference in the matches between the three of them - with three draws, it will be 0.

3) The number of goals scored in the matches between the three of them:

with Sweden 0, Denmark 0: Sweden and Italy have 1, and Denmark 0
with Sweden 1, Denmark 1: Sweden has 2, and Italy and Denmark have 1 - then it would come down to who had a better score against Bulgaria
with Sweden 2, Denmark 2: Sweden has 3, Denmark has 2, and Italy has 1 - Ciao Italia.

 

[Nemasis Enforcer]

GERMANY 0 - 0 LATVIA

Can I just say.... HAHAHAHA!!!!

 

[PaulUK]

Is that right, Laur? I thought it was GD and then goals scored across the Group. One of our newspapers said about the Italy 3-0 thing too.

OMG.. Germany 0 Latvia 0. Now, that's an upset... so Germany are almost certainly going to have to beat the Czechs.

 

[Guest]

Blimey. That's all I can say.

P.S. Hehehe!
