Hehe just looking at the scores (tried to upload table but work PC screws up my attempts every bloody time).
Osh and Kitten locked in a dead heat on 400 points thus far. Both had Panama as worst team, both have the same quarter finalists, and thus same semi finalists (3 out of 4 teams remaining selected, not bad at all folks). Crucial difference....
Osh has Belgium to win the whole thing
Kitten has France :eek:
Osh also has Lukaku as top scorer, still in with a shout but trails Kane by 2.
Kitten had Neymar... oh well, can't get them all right.
So far, 157 goals scored in the World Cup with 4 matches left.
Kitten already is out of the running on that one, she went for a lower total than most in 118.
Osh has 170 as his selection, so needs another circa 10 goals to gain points from that category.
Also still at play, Last goalscorer for both of them.
Osh has Hazard
Kitten with Pogba.
It all hinges on Belgium vs France in the semis... should be a cracker.
Myself and Mick are 50 points behind on 350. Interestingly Mick has France and Belgium so will have a guaranteed finalist (all teams counted as semi final points for my calculations).
I have France and England, so if results go my way could be in the reckoning, although kitten will probably win if France go through
Kolido is just behind myself and Mick on 325, again with France/Belgium combo so a guaranteed finalist. Probably not quite enough to win the tourney but his red card prediction is an ace in the hole.
Currently 4 red cards have been seen in the competition and with 4 games left, 2 more could put him right in with a shout.
Incidentally kitten's ship has sailed with red cards, her 3 prediction now gone.
Osh likewise, predicted a MAHOOSIVE 16 red cards... unless we have a confetti show with teams finishing with 9 players or less... safe to say no points there for osh either.
Mick also has 6 predicted, very possible yet similar to Kolido.
Myself, I have 7 predicted - 3 red cards in 4 games? Unlikely, but possible.
Moving on to our hostest with the moistest next, Strawbs who still has a trump card in her back pocket... something tells me she doesn't want to use it though.
Everyone else has been incorrect with the round England will be eliminated so far, most going for the quarters apart from (cough, sKeith, Kolido - last 16 AND cough, fart, belch.... Mick with a group elimination predicted).
Strawbs however went for the Semis. So if England lose to Croatia, osh and kitten could be sweating a little nervously, especially given she has both Belgium and France in her prediction pool.... however... I think Strawbs will forego the crown in place of England making the final...
Quickbeam is below Strawbs by only 75 points. She could also improve her position nicely, having Belgium, France and England in the semis - 2 of which could increase her total by a cool 100 points, and more for a winner. The rest of her selections though are a (poker player reference incoming) busted flush.
Bringing up the rear are Murray, Pter and sKeith - the lack of a Panama selection as worst team and also selecting Germany as winners really being the difference. Still, Murray has reason to be optimistic as a Croatia/France final would improve his position nicely (Murray is also the only person to select Croatia as one of the quarter finalists... but he may have made a boo boo too, selecting England to go out in the quarters but not adding them to his list... you could have had three of the four semi finalists Murray...)
Pter will be hoping for a France/England final to improve, his red card prediction of 8 may also come into play as well as his top scoring team selection in France. (Belgium current top scorers on 14.
sKeith will have a definite finalist in one of France or Belgium, but will then be putting all his eggs in that basket with no team on the other side of the draw. Still, either team is a NICE basket to have.
Ok this was longer than I meant it to be... better do some work :cool:
Edit: I'm an idiot. Forgot to deduct the 50 points from EVERYONE except Strawbs. Edited as much as I can here will update table when I get to my laptop.
