I was too busy consoling myself over the dismal performance my Metro Dream team has put in

 

[shrimperman]

Czechs 2-0 Ghana
Japan 0-1 Croatia

It is gone 10:30, and I am drunk. Very drunk. I blame women.

 

[maldonblue]

Late but here they are:

Holland 1 - 1 Ivory Coast
Czech Republic 2 - 1 Ghana
Japan 0 - 2 Croatia
Saudi Arabia 1 - 1 Ukraine
Iran 1 - 0 Angola

 

[Shrimp in a Kilt]

WoooHOOOOOOOOO! I'm not bottom, I'm not bottom, I'm not bottom any more,
I'm not bottom any more!!

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

Hold on a minute! Iran aren't playing Angola!

 

[shrimperman]

Nope, its all under control, although I have to admit you did worry me. Due to my somewhat weird format, I have Iran v Angola in Week 2 (upto the 22nd - next Friday). So although I appreciate this is very confusing, it is still very much on course *now wheres that I ikon for phew*

I'm pretty sure my calculations are correct but if you do feel that you are missing/ gaining points them please bring it to my attention. As for the the table itself, theres been alot of big movers from the Dutch game. Interestingly four people managed to predict the correct score which is the most for any game so far. Absolutely fascinating I think you'll find.

 

[shrimperman]

Oh and congrats to Siak who was one of those to correctly predict the scoreline and move off the bottom after his relatively long stint!

 

[EastStandBlue]

Bloody hell, im not that bad at this

 

[sufcintheprem]

Doh, feel being in Germany may have held me back a bit here! You should have seen how many gutted Czech fans there were in Cologne. Would have felt sorry for them if I could have got tickets but as it is, I was just jealous.

I'll try and keep a lookout for the next lot of results...

 

[shrimperman]

Not much change after the last two games, infact only two whole points to award! Nobody got anything for Ghanas terrific victory over the Czech's. Only two contenders predicted the draw between the Japs and Croatia. TtK has sadly dropped to bottom, I knew I should never has trusted your betting tips!

Ouch! Didn't quite expect Ukraine to run away with it, neither did anyone else but the looks of things! That experimental round obviously did not work. At least the tables tightened a bit for the run in, as follows:

Jonny 6
ESB 6
SUFCEssex 5
Naps 4
Shrimperman 4
ORM 4
SUFCFARAWAY 3
whosdully 3
CCC 3
Siak 1

TtK 1
maldonblue -1


Incidentally, we have had to detract sufcintheprem from the running as with everyone losing points, it would have been unfair for him to have not lost any. Sorry maldonblue, that makes pretty sour reading I imagine

 

[shrimperman]

Third round fixtures are as follows:

Argentina v Mexico
England v Ecuador
Portugal v Holland
Italy v Australlia
Brazil v Ghana


Table to follow, apologies for the delay, been very busy this week.
