Johnstons Paint Euro2008 Prediction Trophy - 2nd round games

[bocadillo]

Greece 0:1 Russia

​

Congratulations to Yorkshire Vixen, Brown Nose, Nottingham and Siouxsie for heading their groups. They, together with The_Lane, Fludie and Nathan, now progress to the quarter-finals. Darth Vodka and Dorset Fox are equal on points and other criteria: which of them progresses will be dependent on performance in the next game(s).

 

[MKFox]

Good luck yorky and the lane.

Cheers boc for making the real football a bit more exciting.

I hesitate to ask, cos
a. I'm usually wrong
b. my memory of the rules is on a par with HF
c. I'm half way down the pisspot & it hardly matters

But I thought that getting one score right plus one margin right should add up to 8, not 6.

Yes, one fully correct score is 5 points and one correct goal-difference is 3 points - total 8 points.

Why do you ask? And what has 6 got to do with it?

I'm confused.

[Siouxsie]

My apologies for the delay in sending my predictions in.

Hopefully you will accept some of them at least even if I'm disqualified from tonight, although I wasn't watching, and now I've looked no one has scored yet anyway.

You wouldn't be if you had bothered to read my predictions on the post it note by my screen instead of the ones I posted on here :icon_redf

I refer to my point 1 in mitigation.

I realised that. I'm just surprised that you have so little confidence in your predictions. :icon_sad:
