After Saka and Harry Kane had scored, I was sure Foden would also get an attempt at goal if he was left on the pitch for the entire game, but Gareth Southgate did me a favour of taken him out before he gets that opportunity.

I couldn't even watch the match but I was so sure it would be Rashford starting, the way he was starting this tournament, if I knew it was Foden I wouldn't have been so sure every forward would be getting a shot on target, but still, I am happy with 2 points out of 4 so far and my opponent Slissy has 0/4 (I was really afraid of him actually!!).

Now we only have 3 different answers so I just need to get 1 of those right and we can draw!

Congrats im out! 😁 Everything I did this day was wrong, sometimes we can just feel it😂😂

This has been fun and I hope we see more of this in the future 😁
I have nothing to complain about. I think it has gone very well since this is the first time we are trying this out 😁

Well, you should never play on Croatia to win in regular time when knockout stages begin. We went to extra time in 8 out of 9 such matches. I don't think anybody else has that kind of stats. Only one that wasn't ET or penalties was our loss to France in the final last time around.

actually, I ended up not betting at all on Croatia, wasn't sure who will gonna pass
congrats on progress to quarter-final, did not watch the match, it is commuting home time, but from what I could see and hear, it was a tide match, where Croatia was just enough better to feel that pass through is deserved

did not know about that statistics, but can recall watching penalty series with Denmark from last championship

We really know how to build up the tension, huh?
As Trofo said, only 1 of our knockout games since 1998 World Cup didn't go into extra time. I hope we manage to keep this crazy statistics in our next game as well Grin

I had us to win in regular time, for increased stakes - so could have gone better for me betting-wise. But the only important thing is that we are through.

you'll be happy to know my money's on Japan, so it should mean I lose.

not sure why, but I do think that Croatia is a value bet @2.05 against Japan, expected it on 1.75 or similar
with that said, cannot say that Croatia will progress, but they are certainly bigger favorites that bookies are showing

wanted to say that I would not bet on Japan, due to low odds, but I am not sure what will actually happen

England is playing as "it is coming home", IMO

I cashed in on both to score and very "secure" Croatia not to loose, so happy day for me. If only Brazil - Korea ends with both to score as well...money, money,money.

I'm definitely losing this one, I think, Woodie got a fantastic headstart, and I looked very quickly, need to get the goal count right and Ronaldo to score to get back on level terms but if he gets Spain lineup right, I'm out. He went for a full European progress too -- and I need 2 to crash out, and I thought England would be one. Japan and Morocco have to save me (yeah right).

Doesn't matter, of course, I got some heavy hitting bets lined up so am more concerned with that. No specials, and I can't watch this game, good luck Cro2... you'll be happy to know my money's on Japan, so it should mean I lose.

Congratulations to all the participants!
We have reached the end of the group stage and we have the group winners and the knockout pairs:

Once again thank you all for playing, and good luck to those remaining in the contest!

Code:

buwaytress
Harkorede

And sadly, after making so much hype about myself going into the competition, I was knocked out, and for the first time, this lucky bastard buywatress got his way, and Harkorede as uasul kept getting lucky, but wait for me nigga, I promise you I'll beat your ass in the UCL prediction pool. Grin

BTW, congrats guys, you did an amazing job, especially with the MD3 questions.

At least today is not the day Cheesy

I was already scared I'd potentially be facing Buwaytress, at least that's if I make past this stage with another tough guy LTU_btc from almost every pool I've participated in so far, we've got 6 question left and we have to answer in common, I just need two more of the four questions we shared different perspectives about to go my way then, then I'll be through to the next stage, the most likely being the Croatians to dominate Japan, and the round of 16 having more than 22 goals.

After Saka and Harry Kane had scored, I was sure Foden would also get an attempt at goal if he was left on the pitch for the entire game, but Gareth Southgate did me a favour of taken him out before he gets that opportunity.

Oh man... I missed the France defense question by one player...

Same here, I was also one player off from getting that point but good thing I got the England question correct to maintain my lead.

My over 22 goals prediction is looking pretty good though, we're only halfway through and there are already 14 goals, 8 goals in the remaining games should be doable. Grin

England's game gave me some real scare after Harry Kane got his first goal of the tournament, I was so sure it was among the questions and got quiz sick not to check on the spreadsheet but eventually did and didn't find the lad among the 11 questions.. Phew that was close

Quote from: slackovic on December 04, 2022, 12:47:58 PM

Oh man... I missed the France defense question by one player... Now all I jeed is England strikers to each have at least one shot on target to be equal to inthelongrun. If I miss that, he'll be up two points and I'm not sure I'll manage to beat that.

We all did and the fun part about this quiz is all about the 1or 0, and I like this format tbh, had points been awarded for any correct names brought forward then tie breaks would be tough to get to sadly.

if I did not missed anything, all forwards are out, and Foden made two assists, but no shot on target (Saka and Kane scored), so answer is no
England had trouble to score first one, but after that Senegal is really down

will be a great one between France and England in QF, both teams seem really prepared for WC (cannot explain how Hungarians smashed England half year ago)

You are correct, table is already updated and it seems that there is a lot of close pairings here and I expect we will need a tie breaker or two to settle all the games. Did not watch most of the games today since I had some obligations but from what i have seen, favorites really did not leave anything to chance.

Seems nobody wants the rewards since I only got a couple of PMs with BTC addresses so far, I know there is still a lot of time but better to take care of it sooner than later.

what a show with last second penalty for Poland, we had VAR review and penalty repeat, and Lewandowski scored in the end

and all of that did not matter at all, since France was up 3:0, but Lloris ended without clean-sheet, to ruin my Sorare chances
goals so far, 11 in three matches, more than expected, all matches o2.5

Damn you, Woodie, 2/2 right, and already 2 points ahead of me. I'm going to need our different answers to all go my way now, but I have to say you're in a strong position. Quarterfinal bastard-elect.

Now not sure my pick for England trio to have shot on target will hit, suddenly not even sure England will not grind out for penalties. Anyway.

Didn't watch Argentina but on livescores saw Messis scored with the sole shot on target by HT. Pretty much sums up his role, doesn't it?

Back to the quiz itself, this was so tough, I am glad I got 1 right, happy to see many got both wrong but a few guys got 2/2 so far, what a great start for them.

What most every other users scores now doesn't actually affect you or your chances, for now the only results that matters is just between you and your opponent.

My opponent LTU_btc, also had the both set of the first two questions wrong and as did I, but we've got a couple of different opinions about a lot of other upcoming questions and the most crazy thing is that we actually have just a minute difference between our tie breaker answers, so it's going to be a really close and unpredictable one.

This reminded me to check how I stand versus my opponent inthelongrun and he already has a head start. He answered the second question about Australia conceding a goal correct and I got both of them wrong. We will see how today goes. I hope I get both a swers correct as we both answered differently (even the England domination question which is 50-50). I guess after today he will be two or three points in front of me or I'll take over the lead. May the best (or luckiest) man win!

@Trofo @casperBGD @buwaytress

Ok ok I get it, lol everyone agrees there is nothing wrong with the format, and English I agree, you must learn it to succeed in this life. I forced myself to do the same even on this forum! In the future it will be Chinese but we will all be dead.

Anyway I was just trying to give a comment and thinking of others but if the goal is to reward elite bitcointalk/Sportsbet users then there is nothing to change.

-snip

do not get me wrong, I do not think that someone here is forum elite, or everywhere for the matter (not sure how do you qualify elite, but I am striving to horizontal organizations whenever possible, without much elite and hierarchy)

but, as I said, IMO, all questions are properly worded to be easy to understand, and could be answered without a doubt (with all said, I missee both answers, so maybe I understood it wrong

)

and it is a good advice to improve English, I am trying to do that daily

, not sure about Chinese dominance in the future, but maybe you have a point there
