Penalties it is. Some final this

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - E.N. - 18-12-2022

Absolute cracker of a match. The big names are stepping up

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - aaronjennings - 18-12-2022

Incredible. How quickly this went from a one-sided Argentinian procession, to legitimately one of the best World Cup finals ever

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Necro - 18-12-2022

The top of the table for the pool is incredibly tight, bonus questions are going to decide it which I did not expect! Have to wait for confirmation of player of the tournament...

The guy on ITV said Messi won it, dont quote me though, 

Score it as Mbappe won it

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - jp liz v1 - 18-12-2022

Final hat trick for Mbappe, surely golden boot winner

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Trigger - 18-12-2022

Messi was the best player throughout the tournament I thought myself. Absolutely took hold of that team and dragged them through after the loss in the first game.. he was immense. And at 35 jesus

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Kol - 22-12-2022

So who won?

Sorry sorry sorry had a busy week!

It was very close in the end.... the bonus points swung it...

Because it was so tight I had to make a tough judgement call on one factor.

Results coming shortly

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Necro - 23-12-2022

So we had two players who had the winning team in their selection of 8 at the beginning.

Congrats to @E.N. and @nothing for picking Argentina. That's a 50 point winners bonus for you guys there!

Bonus question one was a wash, 2 of you had France to win so were unlucky there. No points for anyone.

The second question concerned the Golden Boot - top scorer of the competition.

SIX of you picked Kylian Mbappe and he took that trophy home just ahead of Messi with 8 goals in the tournament. Well done to @Edser, @Sephiroth_Dude, @Kol , @Sawduck, @ari101 and @lorcand1990. 20 bonus points for each of you!

Our third question concerned the player of the tournament which was of course won by Lionel Messi. This was our controversial question. 2 people selected Messi prior to the tournament beginning for this - they were @Edser and @E.N.. Incidentally that's an impressive double with top scorer and player of the tournament for Edser, well done there.

Liz did select Messi for this but unfortunately for her... not until after the tournament began. I laboured long and hard on the decision but I have decided not to award her the points for this in the interest of competition fairness. Sorry Liz :/

25 points each go to Edser and EN.


Team who scored the most goals was next. Three people selected France correctly who pipped the World Cup Winners Argentina to the award by a single goal - France had 16 goals, Argentina 15.

Well done to @Kol , @Sawduck and @jp liz v1 - 10 bonus points each!!

Finally we had our Team who concedes the most goals award - this went to Costa Rica with 11 goals. One person nailed this spot on and that was @E.N.

Another ten bonus points go to him.


All of which leave our final table looking like this....




Here are our players from 6th to 14th place.

ari101 370
aaronjennings 349
Sawduck 347
lorcand1990 337
nothing 312
Declan A Walsh 307
Necro 216
ShaneU 160
JagsMickuar 154


Congrats to @JagsMickuar for a fine wooden spoon performance and you might want to take a photo guys... not often Shane finds himself at the wrong end of a table either Tongue



So to our top 5....

In fifth place with 390 points in total...


@jp liz v1!!!!



In fourth with 394 points thanks to an amazing bonus question run:

@Edser!!!!



In third place, with a splendid total of 400 points exactly...


@E.N.!!!!!


Which leaves Kol and Seph as our top two... but who reigned supreme? There was only 3 points between them which was very impressive.

RE: FOG's World Cup Pool - Necro - 23-12-2022

In second place.... with 404 points - 

@Sephiroth_Dude!!!!

But our tournament winner - thanks mainly to Croatia's Third place playoff victory which netted him an extra 10 bonus points....

Our winning score of 407 points....


@Kol !!!

I'll claim I'd have won if I'd known Lukaku was injured... and that Belgium would be crap 🤣
