24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The most worrying thing is that Muller/Mueller is only 24. And he's on course for consecutive Golden Boots. This could be the third WC running that a German player has won it. Pass the lederhosen! I just hope we don't play them at any point in the near future. It'll be absolute carnage. Plus they'll really, really want to do us because...they're Germans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they'll really, really want to do us because...they're Germans. The Germans hate the Dutch more than us, the Dutch's hatred of the Germans needs no explanation. To be honest either final has history behind it, and some hatred too- although Netherlands more than Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Here is table going into the final stage of the competition: It remains extremely tight at the top, so I'm going to introduce a couple of things to separate players, in the event that they finish up level. If level on points, the player with the most full correct (five-point) result predictions throughout the competition shall finish higher; if still level, the player with the most correct teams to make the knockout phase shall finish higher. If they still can't be separated, they'll share any prize(s) evenly. Three players have both correct finalists - lookerstandandy, Disjointed and Stevie_J. A further eleven players have one correct finalist and remain in with a shout of picking up points for predicting the correct winner.

LaticsChris Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Only one finalist so not much chance of improving my position. I'm just happy to have staved off relegation to the Confederations Cup Prediction League for another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 How many points do people get for the winner? Just asking. It's only a bit of fun after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Three players have both correct finalists - lookerstandandy, Disjointed and Stevie_J. Congrats on some fine form Disjointed. I've gone 2-1 to Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Congrats on some fine form Disjointed. I've gone 2-1 to Argentina. I can claim no credit, my teenage son picked it all for me, as the spreadsheet was daunting when I looked at it. Well done to you and Stevie also. I have the krauts 2-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 How many points do people get for the winner? Just asking. It's only a bit of fun after all. 15 points, not that you need to worry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to you and Stevie also. I have the krauts 2-0 I've got 2-1 to the Argies too but I'm too far down the table for it to make any difference, unless Fred bangs in six goals in the third/fourth place playoff on Saturday. If the Argies win, I'll win £100 in the prediction competition at work though - not the same quality of opposition there, see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 And the winner is... The top three all correctly predicted Germany would win. Not surprisingly, no one had 100-1 shot, James Rodriguez down to win the Golden Boot, so no bonus points picked up by anyone there. 1st - JoshOWTB - £26.25 2nd - Disjointed -£15.75 3rd - Bristolatic - £10.50 Please let me know if you want to put money aside for the upcoming Prediction League entry (Josh, you're already paid up from last season's Cup winnings!) or any donations, otherwise I'll try and pay out the prize winnings this evening. I hope everyone has enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for taking part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well done Josh and Mr 24hrs for finishing above me Its not proper football if not latics anyway!!! I will pay 24hours money for the big one when it starts again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Good fun, nice one Stevie. After doing bugger all in the knock out stages, the one and only thing I did right was predict the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Great work Stevie, The team is slightly disappointed to finish 2nd, after employing a young untried manager for team selection. After just providing the financial backing I feel my runner up money will be donated to the OWTB fund if this is possible, without things like this playershare would be worse off. Well done to Josh on winning and also Bristol for 3rd place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
