Nnow FIFA06 betting challange...

[Twilight Prince]

Let's play a game...! :-)

Every day we guess the results of the games that will be played that day.


You have to place the bet for all three games of one day together. And you have to submit the bet before the start of the first game that day. Of course you can place your bet the day before if you want.

We're actually not gonna "bet" anything... we just guess the score of all three games each day.

For every match you guess the score right you'll get a point.

Whoever has the most points after the final wins...

ATTENTION!!
No talk about the teams and how they play in this thread... there's a really good one for that already.
BETS ONLY. Let's keep it a clean thread to make counting the points easy.

Attention#2
At the time of this first post it's only two hours from the start of todays first game (south korea-togo)... so let's make today (june 13) just for fun and start the "competition" with tomorrow's games (june 14). In that way everyone will be able to join the challange in time and not miss out on the first day.

GENTLEMEN PLACE YOUR BETS! :toad:

[Twilight Prince]

South Korea - Togo = 1-1

France - Switzerland = 3-0

Brazil - Croatia = 2-1

[Zac]

Brazil - Croatia = 0-0

[stanDarsh]

I'm already in a tipping comp so I'll just post my tips:

Korea 2 - 1 Togo
France 2 - 0 Switzerland
Brazil 3 - 0 Croatia

[Kay B]

South Korea - Togo = 3-0

France - Switzerland = 1-2 (im expecting a shock)

Brazil - Croatia = 4-1

[Twilight Prince]

OK so that was fun.. though nobody nailed any result... great to see small comments too like Kay B did.

So that was a test... from now on we count points :-) Let the best man win!

[Twilight Prince]

Spain - Ukraine 1-0 (spain are sure winners but always underachieve in the qualifying stage)

Tunisia- Saudi Arabia 2-1 (Tunisia did win the african cup like two years ago)

Germany - Poland 2-0 (Poland did look weak against Ecuador)

[Kay B]

Spain - Ukraine 2-1 - (Spain have quality but not enough go all the way but they will win this, ukraine only have schevchenko)

Tunisia- Saudi Arabia 0-0 (Don't know much about either team...so im guessing a draw)

Germany - Poland 3-0 (Germanys defense lacks, but poland wont trouble them)

[Homeru]

Spain - Ukraine 1-1

Tunisia - Saudi Arabia 1-0

Germany - Poland 4-1

[the boney king of nowhere.]

Spain - Ukraine 1-0

[Twilight Prince]

Day one of the official competition is over and only one result was called... with the result that we have a smug leader: Congrats Seahorse! It won't last long.... Once again props to anyone who included comments. Oh and if you don't wanna check back here every day you can post your tips for a few days ahead too (of course).

[Twilight Prince]

Celebrating that sweden is still in the cup and that england is definitely thru I've been playing football in the streets untiil 2 AM. When I got home I realised that I had tipped the sweden game right and hurried to open this thread only to find that uk bastard Matt nailed TWO results. Dammit!

[Matt]

Wasn't around to put down scores for today's matches, which is annoying because I was going to say 2-0 to Portugal. Would've never guessed the other two, that was madness.

Anyway, it's a good job you guys suck at this, otherwise my lead would be in grave danger :-P

[Kay B]

I should of got the portugal score right as they scored with the last kick of the game making it 3-0 as i rightly predicted....but the gay linesman ruled it offside when he was on!....I was screwed!


Sunday's games

Brazil - Australia - 3-1
Japan - Croatia - 1-2
France - South Korea - 0-1

[Twilight Prince]

After what has to be one of the best days of the world cup so far the score is still the same. You would think that someone would have guessed the portugal one. and I don't mean claiming they had it right AFTERwards (Hello Matt!). Only thing I can say is keep on posting your tips... just because nobody scored today doesn't mean it's not exciting anymore....

Brazil - Australia - 2-1 (brazil still in sleepy mode. Ronaldinho scores on a free kick)
Japan - Croatia - 0-2 (japan didn't impress me at all)
France - South Korea - 2-1 (they just can't repeat the fuckup from the euro cup)

[Dagarik]

Hang on I was on 1 now I am 0?

Brazil vs Australia - 1-1 (Australia are hungry and the whole nation, probably the most succesful sporting nation in the world are behind our guys, soccer is the final frontier left for Australia to conquer in world sport, that said Brazil are awesome and I'm thinking Australia will get an early goal and try to shut the rest of the match down.)
Japan vs Croatia - 0-2 (I would like the match to be a draw or have croatia lose to make Australia's chances of progressing better but japan arn't to good.)
France vs South Korea - 2-1

[masteratt]

Brazil vs Australia: 5-1

Nobody seems to know how to do it but that Matt guy... on the other habd he's editing his posts to say "woooho i guessed one right" before i get a chance to read them...so there's really no way to tell if he's cheating ... is there??? :dazed:

That's like henry giving a press conference today trying to convince evreyone he scored TWO goals yesterday. Well of course we don't really think you cheat Matt, we're just jealous....................... ( :shrug: ) ?

[Twilight Prince]

I overslept throgh the two first games. Spain v Tunisisa was a good one but I was really pissed off when they got that penalty kick because i knew that my tip (2-1) was in danger... the goalie touched it but the ball went in and my chance to be in second place was gone. :Mrt:

[Twilight Prince]

Lots of points scored today, dagarik and fats both nailing two results. By the way England haven't won over Sweden in 38 years and should be glad they didn't lose today. Sweden had a massive pressure for sure. (To be honest England didn't have shit except for that goal in the 2nd half:whip: ) Well good luck against Ecuador, we'll take care of the germans for you :-)

Four people scoring on the portugal game... who would have guessed that the argentina game would end without any goals? Ivory coast showing us the real samba (too bad serbia scored 2 aswell). Also some people forget to post which is absolutely no way to win this thing... Matt, we're closing in...! (in fact Dagarik is already there and if two contestants end up on the same score then most posted bets will be the winner... true world cup style :-) )

Scores are evening out (is that correct english?..hmmm) Well good to see anyway. The france game was really exciting IMO. I can't even begin to tell you how nervous I am already regarding the germany sweden game... i hope it will be like this:

Germany v Sweden 1-2 (winning goal scored in OT)
Argentinv Mexico 3-0 (they will kick ass)

And why wouldn't germany kick sweden's ass you ask...? and i don't even have an answer to that. There's a high probability they will but my heart says GO GO GO YOU LAZY SWEDISH BASTARDS!

[masteratt]

This gets tough now since what if the matches go to penalties? You can't expect us to guess that it will go to penalties AND the score for the penalties!
Anyway;

Germany v Sweden: 3-2
Argentina v Mexico: 4-1

[Kay B]

Germany v Sweden: 3-1
Argentina v Mexico: 4-0

[Twilight Prince]

Good point Matt. Haven't thought of that.
SO I hereby decide that the guess has to be the result after full time INCLUDING possible overtime but EXCLUDING any penalty round (not penalties during normal game time of course).

Anyone that didn't get that?

Simple version:
1. Just guess the score.
2. Do not include the penalty shootout if you think the game will come to that.
3. If you think the game will be settled in 90 mins guess that score.
4. If you think it will go to ovetime, skip step 3 and guess that score instead. (yes you can guess it will be a tie game).

if you didn't get that feel free to IM me and ask me but I'm gonna deduct a point for "slow braining". :help:

[Kay B]

Why not just guess a score....if it take extra time to get that score....oh well, we still got it right lol....will be easier that way

Wer guessing FULL TIME scores, so if it goes to extra time,than u could still have guessed the full time score

[Matt]

Germany v Sweden 3-1

It may not happen, but I'd like to see it.

[Matt]

True. I've been sticking to reality in the hope that I may catch up on points, but I don't think I'm too bothered by that anymore.

Go Australia!

[Fats]

Stan will be happy that I'm rooting for Australia anyway, as I wanted Japan to win when they were playing each other.

[Matt]

I don't like Australians, I just happen to hate Italians more!

The Racist gets his punishment

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Aragon%C3%A9s#The_Thierry_Henry_incident

[Matt]

It's terrible really, there's a lot of racism in Spanish football. There was an incident early on in La Liga where Samuel Eto'o wanted to leave the pitch because of the chants directed at him from the Zaragoza fans.

Guess how much they were fined?

The equivalent of £600.....

Edit: Finally, another point!

[masteratt]

Shit, forgot about this thread.

Next fixture: 30th July guesses
Germany v Argentina: 2-3
Italy v Ukraine: 2-1

It's a bit dodgey tipping a game when it's half way through matt...

I know I know, but I really didn't know the score at the time. I had just literally walked in the door from work.

[Mathx]

Germany and Ukraine will advance, italy has been playing like crap, Germany have a strong home field advantage (they were chanting German songs during the France Spain game)

Germany 2, Argentina 1

Italy 0, Ukraine 1 (have a feeling the PSO will occur)

[Twilight Prince]

[Mathx]

And France upsets again!

[Twilight Prince]

wow that was a strange day ... too bad to see england go!

[Kay B]

Ok, lets be honest...who actually gives a damn about the world cup anyway, it's not like it's important *rolls eyes*


*isn't bitter because england went out*

[Matt]

Why be bitter? It was obvious that England were going to lose to Portugal. I was so confident that I started making bets with more patriotic people. Now I'm rich! :-D

[Mathx]

England did rather well, seeing that they had one less player on the field and still didn't allow Portugal to score a goal. I wonder what a Portugal vs Italy game would look like... players diving every where, checking if their nose isn't broken...

[Kay B]

Why be bitter? It was obvious that England were going to lose to Portugal. I was so confident that I started making bets with more patriotic people. Now I'm rich! :-D

Bitter because we were EASILY the better team in every part of the game apart from the penalty shootout and still lost.....but hey i accept it and move on :cheers:

[Twilight Prince]

england were truly the better team. ricardo is the better goalie though and that settled the game.

4 years until next world cup . . .

[Matt]

Bitter because we were EASILY the better team in every part of the game apart from the penalty shootout and still lost.....but hey i accept it and move on :cheers:

See, that's the thing that pisses me off about the England team. On paper, we really should be doing a lot better.

Ahh well, not worth worrying about, bring on the Premiership!

[Mathx]

Ahh well, not worth worrying about, bring on the Premiership!

That will have to wait, seeing how Henry is currently busy right now.

[Matt]

And various other Premiership players.

[Kay B]

CUMMON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

*refuses to belive there out*

I will wake up from this god damn nightmare!!!!!

[Kay B]

still 0-0 so im predicting

Germany vs italy - 1-0

[Kay B]

Fuckin germans! ruined my chance of catching up!...I can no longer win as i can only finish on 5 :(

anyways.....

Portugal vs France 1-2 (Ronaldo to break a leg)

[Twilight Prince]

HOLY SHIT!

Never thought italy would beat germany...

well for tomorrow

france v portugal - 2-2

[Fats]

france v portugal - 2-0

[Dagarik]

Portugal vs France: 1-2

[Kay B]

HOLY SHIT!

Never thought italy would beat germany...

well for tomorrow

france v portugal - 2-2

You know it CAN'T end a draw....right?

Someone has to win....dont be a pussy predict a winner! :rant:

p.s 1-0 france already.....my result will be perfect

[Twilight Prince]

You know it CAN'T end a draw....right?

Someone has to win....dont be a pussy predict a winner! :rant:


Well as i tried to explain in like two different posts:
the rules are we guess the the full time result before any possible penalties... which means that if you think it's gonna end 2-2 and then penalties then you guess 2-2. simple as that.

Now neither of us was right anyway so... :-)

OK so my guess for the two remaining games:

germany v portugal 2-0
italy - france 2-1

[Kay B]

germany v portugal 3-0
italy - france 2-1

[masteratt]

Germany v Portugal: 3-0 (no way in hell can Portugal score...)
Italy - France: 0-2

[Dagarik]

germany v portugal 2-0
italy - france 1-2

I am bored with football, Rugby League is such a better sport and after watching the State of Origin over here in Aus whatever interest I had in the cup is dead, but I want to defend my lead. Someone taly the score.

[Rizon]

Germany - Portugal = 3-1
Italy - France = 0-2

England win though 'cause we invented football.

[Twilight Prince]

^you scored bro!

[Kay B]

Meh....i was close

[Matt]

Italy v France 1-2

[Fats]

Italy v France 2-1 :P

[Rizon]

The Italians are going down.
Come on The France!

[Kay B]

Technically i was correct, italy winning on pens gives them the extra 1 which makes it 2-1 italy!...

Fuck im good!

[Twilight Prince]

technically you were correct... and me too! but then we'd have to correct a lot of others too... no score for us! though the final score is:

[Twilight Prince]

It's been really entertaining doing this thread... surprised that it lasted all thru the tournament. With everyone continously missing by one goal at the semi and finals there was no final battle showdown... let's just say that dagarik secured his win early on.

CONGRATULATIONS Dagarik. Your price is + rep from everyone in this thread :cheers: (at least from me)

:-D

But anyway, well done to Dagarik.

+rep

Edit: Do I get rep from half of the people here for coming second? :-P

[Dagarik]

Thanks lads, this was good fun.

It's good to be King. :P

[Kay B]

Do i get anything for coming 4th (joint 3rd)?

All people above me should be investigated for match fixing....

p.s lol @ people who got 0......losers

[Dagarik]

lol @ people who got less then 6!

[Twilight Prince]

I feel like we're family now... when is the next big event?.... wait it's Euro cup 2008..... shit

[Rizon]

1 for 1. Not bad.

Euro 2008. PLACE YOUR BETS..... NOW! BANZI!

[Matt]

I was thinking about the possibility of a Premiership betting thread a few weeks ago. Anybody up for that one?

[Rizon]

Go for it. I would be up for it.

[Matt]

Cool, will do.

[Kay B]

Good idea Matt....

*hates the fact he will NEVER beable to bet on watford to win, but probably stupidly will*

[Matt]

Lol, I'll devise a method so that 4 of the 5 selected matches are at random, and the other match can be a random pick from the top 4 teams (unless they play eachother of course).

[Twilight Prince]

that's a great idea! Though i know closely to nothing about the premiership league so someone else would have to run it... i'd be proud if this thread had any kind of spinoff effect...

[Dagarik]

I might retire as the champ... You know, to give someone else a chance.

[Twilight Prince]

^pffft... one more comment like that and i'll take back my rep :-)

[Matt]

that's a great idea! Though i know closely to nothing about the premiership league so someone else would have to run it... i'd be proud if this thread had any kind of spinoff effect...

I've started up a thread for ideas before the season starts, so any input would be welcome.
