World Cup Contest — Rankings At The End Of The Group Stage

Hello dear friends, the group stage is finally over, the World Cup will enter the knockout phase starting tomorrow. You already know the results, Brazil and Portugal produced a disappointing goalless draw, Ivory Coast beat North Korea 3-0 but they are out of the tournament. Spain went past Chile 2-1 but both sides qualified since Switzerland failed to get more than a 0-0 draw against Honduras. Let’s see how you did today.

Majk and Burak_gs are today’s heroes, Majk recorded 6 points and closed in on Lye while Burak_gs amassed no less than 13 points and stormed up the table. If the contest would end today Majk would receive a copy of Football Manager 2011. Unfortunately for him the contest isn’t over yet and everybody is still in with a good chance :)

Please let me know if you notice any errors in the points calculation, thanks.

On to the next matches, the last four games in the round of sixteen. Remember that you should predict the score at the end of 90 minutes, what happens in extra time or during the penalty shoot out does not count in our contest!

28/06 19:30 GMT Brazil — Chile

You are right. I made the calculations correctly but then when I wrote the post I put 6 instead of 12. Well done anyway :)

maybe some of you noticed that Spain and Torres denied me almost 20 points by not striking that damn JABULANI since the first blow, but seems that i am still hanging on to them :) maybe this time we can see them to score more then just 2.

Many of us lost many points due to a goal or two, that’s the beauty of it! :) Good luck with Torres & co. :)
