Not looking very good for the six people (myself included) who picked Saudi to conceded the most goals

Any bonus points for player who scores the most offside goals.
That's worth both parachutes imo
RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Necro - 23-11-2022
Well done to @nothing @Sephiroth_Dude and @Declan A Walsh who all have Japan who just beat ze Germans!!
We won't mention that ye all had Germany too
RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - nothing - 23-11-2022
typical, when I do pick the winner, I've also chosen the loser!
RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - E.N. - 23-11-2022
For most goals conceded, only @ShaneU has Iran and only I have Costa Rica. Good starts...

Unique match-up next, @ShaneU is the only person to pick Belgium. They take on Canada who have only been picked by @JagsMickuar!

The only scores I'll know live during this are Brazils. Family below me (and I assume some friends) just screamed the place down twice.

Could go down to goal difference as in 'who beats up Iran more'
RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Necro - 25-11-2022
Iran were miles the better team there. Wales remind me of... well... Ireland. Lacking that killer instinct and with this likely being Bale's last tourney it could be a long wait for them to qualify again.
Madness by Hennessy too

For some reason I completely missed the fact there would be points for the group games
Hopefully the qualifying and bonus points will make things up
RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Necro - 26-11-2022
Feckin Aussies choose today to get their first win since 2010 at the WC of course. Stupid Tunisia.

Qualified For Last 16: France, Brazil, Portugal
Eliminated: Qatar, Canada
Congrats to all the Brazil (everyone), Portugal (two players), and France (eight players) selectors, all three are through to the last 16 with a game to spare which means bonus points have been applied in these cases! These will be applied to the total scores.
Let's see our round scores.....
Quite a few players had seven of their 8 teams bag them at least a point this round with 4 of you having FIVE wins each!! EN, Sawduck and lorcan both have more draws than wins this round also....
Declan - 12 points - (5 wins - Brazil, Portugal, Croatia, Poland, Costa Rica. 2 draws - Germany, Cameroon)
Kol - 12 points - (5 wins - Brazil, France, Croatia, Senegal, Ghana. 2 draws - Germany, Serbia)
aaron - 12 points - (5 wins - Brazil, France, Senegal, Poland, Ghana. 2 draws - Germany, Netherlands)
Edser - 12 points - (5 wins - Brazil, France, Poland, Senegal, Costa Rica. 2 draws - Germany, Netherlands)
Sephers - 11 points - (4 wins - Brazil, France, Poland, Australia. 2 draws - Germany, Netherlands)
ari101 - 11 points - (4 wins - Brazil, France, Poland, Senegal. 3 draws - Germany, Netherlands, Ecuador)
EN - 10 points - (3 wins - Brazil, Argentina, Poland. 4 draws - Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, Ecuador)
lorcan - 10 points - (3 wins - Brazil, France, Poland. 4 draws - Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, Ecuador)
Sawduck - 10 points - (3 wins - Brazil, France, Poland. 4 draws - Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, Ecuador)
Liz - 10 points - (4 wins - Brazil, France, Poland, Australia. 2 draws - Germany, Netherlands)
Mick - 9 points - (3 wins - Brazil, Portugal, Poland. 3 draws - Germany, Serbia, Ecuador)
Necro - 9 points - (3 wins - Brazil, Poland, Ghana. 3 draws - England, Netherlands, Ecuador)
Shane - 7 points - (2 wins - Brazil, Senegal. 3 draws - Netherlands, Serbia, Cameroon)
nothing - 6 points - (2 wins - Brazil, Argentina. 2 draws - Germany, Serbia)
So our overall table looks like this now (with bonus points for Brazil/France included):
ari101 - 71 points
aaron, Edser, Seph, Sawduck, Declan, Lorcan - 70 points
Liz - 69 points (Ooo-Er!)
Kol - 68 points
Mick - 67 points
Necro - 45 points
EN - 43 points
Shane - 40 points
nothing - 39 points.
The bonuses are a little skewed at the moment with only three teams definitely through ahead of the final round of group games.
ari is one point clear at the top with her bonuses for France and Brazil added to her two rounds of scoring so far. 6 others are on 70 just behind her.
Mick is the only person to have a team eliminated at this stage in Canada, though another TEN may need a minor miracle to see Wales progress....

Yeah Mexico even had a goal disallowed at 2-0 for offside, it just wasn't meant to be!
