World Cup Pick 'Em

[Moonax]

Not sure if anyone has seen this or if there would be any interest in setting up a competition:

http://us.wc.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

[Skippord]

I'll do it

I don't like or care about soccer but I'd like to see how good of a blind guesser I am

[CSL]

I set something up since it takes literally 2 minutes, no idea if the second part of that first post was a prompt or an attempt to canvas opinion so yeah, if I've jumped the gun, do whatever you planned on doing originally and ignore this.

Otherwise, group name "TPWW", password "weegooner"

[Moonax]

No worries. More than happy for someone else to set something up and to run it.

BTW - we need the group ID number to sign up for your group - not the league name.

America, F*CK YEAH!

[CSL]

No worries. More than happy for someone else to set something up and to run it.

Did not realize this

Group: TPWW (ID# 2865)
Pass: weegooner

Now sign up fruitys, shall not be good for my morale unless at least 6 football fans and 2 Skippords sign up

CSL

Come on Mackrem. Demonstrate your Geordie powers. ;)

[The Mackem]

I'm in with my provisional picks already in the hat

[Rev. Hallowell]

I left as "blaze_macleod" and returned as "reverendhallowell". Yahoo had deactivated my old accound because I was offline for two and a half years.

I have a feeling people who actually know something about soccer are gonna look at my picks and either bust out laughing or get really pissed off.

[Moonax]

I wouldn't worry people have been pointing and laughing at Mackrem all his life and it hasn't done him too much harm.

[Jon Kano]

Gay

[The Mackem]

I wouldn't worry people have been pointing and laughing at Mackrem all his life and it hasn't done him too much harm.

Big words. We'll see who's laughing at The Mackem at the end of the World Cup!!

[Crossrine]

I'm in this bitch

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Uruguay to beat France. Uruguay will be the surprise package of the tournament.

[Moonax]

Come and join the fun ECG.

The French have a terrible coach so picking them to lose is not that much of a shock.

Are Uruguay as dirty as they used to be?

[The Mackem]

The South American teams are decent. I'm going to take some interest in Paraguay, two of Sunderland's finest are in the squad.

[The Mackem]

It seems that the commish hasn't made any picks though.

[CSL]

SHEEEEEEEET

[Team Sheep]

Ugh why the fuck did I change SA Mexico from 1-1 to 2-1 Mexico just before it started. All the pundits on the radio picking Mexico influenced me :n:

Makcrem has been good at picking the results but not the scores.

[Team Sheep]

Fuck sake. I'd be joint top if I didn't change SA/Mexico and England/USA last minute. Fucking useless. :(

[RP]

called the argentina/s. korea game/score

i'm proud

[Moonax]

I had it at 3-1 and was cheering everyone on to stop playing for the final 12 minutes.

[Rev. Hallowell]

Yes! I'm out of last place! Take that, Rectal Protruder!

[The Mackem]

Not doing too badly here

[The Mackem]

Don't know whether to keep my original picks or change them based on what's happened so far. Decisions, decisions.

[The Mackem]

Can't believe Brazil didn't beat N.Korea 9-0. I'd laugh but Bad Company is currently leading.

[Team Sheep]

Slowly starting to climb up the table but changing those early games has really fucked me over. :nono: Plus I can't predict any scorelines for shit.

[The Mackem]

The Spain/Swizerland game was easy to predict.

[The Mackem]

England and Germany must have let down just about everybody yesterday. I did make up ground on Bad Company by predicting the USA/Slovenia draw though.

[The Mackem]

Bad Company make your picks for the second group interval :D

Catching you up.

[CSL]

I have 1-1 for Ghana/Australia, gonna be a long trip to hunt the fuckers down if either of them decide to score in the last 7 minutes.

[The Mackem]

I have 2-1 Ghana :mad:

[The Mackem]

Aw ya bastard

[The Mackem]

corner

[The Mackem]

ooooh

[The Mackem]

Feck :D

[CSL]

Get innnnn, a 1-1 victory.

[CSL]

No way am I standing for a guy from New Zealand winning this. England are gonna win at least something this year.

[CSL]

Motherfuckers, I got the 1-1 score right but still had Ghana ticked as winning so I only got 1 point. Robbing bastards.

[Rev. Hallowell]

I've climbed up to ninth, but I'm still the only one here who hasn't gotten a single score right.

[Bad Company]

Fuck I missed the start of the 2nd round!
Got my picks down now though.

Also, lol @ you guys losing to someone who knows NOTHING about football.

[Bad Company]

You could have PM'd me Mackem you bastard! :D

[The Mackem]

What's the fun in that? :D

You could have cleaned up at the bookies mate.

I've been out by one goal in each of the last three games :(

[Bad Company]

Yeah, just going with my terrible soccer taste. Seems to be working.

[The Mackem]

Ignifest is on fire at the moment.

[Rev. Hallowell]

I had a simple formula that didn't work at first, but now sees me climbing the ranks.

1. Other than the United States, pick the team I thought had bigger soccer fans to win. If I thought they were about the same, I tie them.

2. Give South Africa an extra win.

3. Try to guess the scores correctly (fail)

4. Pick the U.S. to win all their games.

5. Pick a comically lop-sided shutout score for America's wins.

At the rate I'm going with the scores, America's 18-0 win over Algeria seems as likely as Austrailia beating Serbia 1-0.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Ignifest is on fire at the moment.

I should put some money on these results. Only as soon as I do that they will be completely wrong.

[Moonax]

That'll teach me to change my mind about things. I had Portugal beating NK 5-0 this morning. Then I looked at it and thought - no that is silly and changed the score. :(

[The Mackem]

Better than my 2-0, if anyone has predicted 7-0 they deserve a medal.

[Team Sheep]

Hah I had 2-0 too. Come on I need full points for the rest of today, need to catch up to Mackem you bastard.

[Team Sheep]

Damn Swiss why didn't you score there.

[The Mackem]

I changed my Chile/Switzerland score to 1-1 but didn't change from Chile win so I got the points. Predicted 2-1 win for Spain, just out again :(

[The Mackem]

You shall never pass me Team Sheep. Well, you probably will...

[Team Sheep]

The Swiss missing that sitter in the dieing moments, and Villa's missed penalty robs me of my desired full points :'(

[CSL]

Taking a risk today by betting against both France and the Argies.

[The Mackem]

Yeah I had France to lose this as well, my pre-tournament picks had England's game with Slovenia as a draw. Not sure whether to change that or not.

[The Mackem]

Starting well with South africa taking the lead. Got Uruguay/Mexico down as a draw.

[Team Sheep]

Bollocks. My draw prediction doesn't look good now.

[The Mackem]

South Africa win seems locked, although I doubt it will finish 2-1. Mexico/Uruguay 2-2 seems a bit unlikely as well.

[The Mackem]

oh well there's a goal for Suarez, hope they battle it out for top spot and end up at 2-2.

[CSL]

I really have to remember to change the choice of win/draw when I change picks, cost me again today with France/South Africa, still had a draw down even though I picked 1-0 South Africa. Since I'd be about 4th if it wasn't for this problem, I blame that fact and the press for my recent poor showings.

[The Mackem]

one out in both of last nights games. Had Argentina 3-0 and S.Korea 3-2. You should get points for getting half the score right :D

[The Mackem]

Tight at the top

[Team Sheep]

I seem to be dropping a place every day :$

[Rev. Hallowell]

I seem to be sticking in the middle and not getting a score right. My luck will turn in the next round when the United States beats Ghana 12-0 though.

[The Mackem]

Mackem goes top

[Crossrine]

Totally fucking forgot to do predictions for the last like 7 games. FUCK

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Lol Mackem, you picked 2-1 to Uruguay but Korea to win.

[The Mackem]

lol what an idiot, gonna check the rest

[The Mackem]

Back at the top with an incredible one point lead.

[Bad Company]

Pretty close, need this brazil result to go my way. Too bad I said 4-0, cause it looks like it may be more.

[Bad Company]

Commentators Curse dammit. Gonna end up 3-0.

[The Mackem]

1 goal off getting both results bang on. Lead increased to three points.

[Rev. Hallowell]

YES! Netherlands vs Slovakia finally took the damn goose egg off my score predictions!

[Crossrine]

PRETTY MUCH FUCKIN OUT OF THIS COMPETITION BECAUSE I FUCKING FORGOT TO DO PREDICTIONS FUFUFUFUFUFU :MAD:

[CSL]

ffs, didn't get points for either game yesterday because despite having both Holland and Brazil winning, apparantly I hadn't ticked those bastard boxes. That's like 14-16 points I've missed out on now because of them.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I had that Netherlands v Slovakia result until that last minute penalty :mad:

[Bad Company]

No wonder Mackem is Winning, he's only missed one ;)

[RP]

I'm in 4th and i'm Cumming for you

[RP]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HERE I COME!

DUTCH AND THE SCORE!

[RP]

If i win this, where does it rank among TPWW upsets honestly?

Since this thing started, i've had Argentina. I honestlt thought the Dutch would beat Brazil.

I'm hyped. I'm winning this.

I have Uruguay over Ghana .... Bring it!

[The Mackem]

Never bet against the Germans.

[The Mackem]

Better luck next World Cup fellas.

[Rev. Hallowell]

I finished 5th. Not bad for an American who doesn't know shit about soccer. If I could predict a score accurately I may have had a shot at winning the damn thing.

[Team Sheep]

Oops. I gave up on this when I started free falling after the group stages :$
