Sheep World Cup - The Reveal

[Necro]

Hello and welcome everyone to the Sheep World Cup!!




In this game players will be pitted against one another to do combat in sheep format!!



The winners and runners up of each group will move on to contest the knock out stages - again all done via sheep!!



Eventually we will crown the Sheep World Cup winner after all is said and done




But fear not those who are knocked out early, you can still take home the normal top spot prize.... or indeed the booby prize




Remember in Sheep we are looking for the most popular answer.... and google etc is permitted.

[jp liz v1]

I predict the winner from group D but not me, I'm not that confident I'd be happy in the winner's group

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Ohhh leggings! shaneu is in my group, shouting for him are ya ? 

[E.N.]

The spectators are entertaining themselves during this lull, and they're starting a Mexican wave...



...no? Just me? Awkward 😬

I'm a realist, best for us all if we accept the inevitable. 😁😁

@HildaSilvioOgden

Hope you're ready for a fight!! 

[lorcand1990]

It seems my fan club have arrived early 

[nothing]

Better get some popcorn made for later!

[Necro]

Some of you will be familiar with @aaronjennings previous Sheep Cup which was won by none other than... *coughs* @ShaneU

It's essentially the same premise, the group matches will be played out over two sheep questions and the cumulative score from those questions will form your score in the match.

The top 2 from each group qualify to contest the quarter finals - draw is already predetermined so it will look like this....

Winner Group A VS Runner Up Group B
Winner Group C VS Runner Up Group D
Winner Group B VS Runner Up Group A
Winner Group D VS Runner Up Group C

Sounds complicated but it's not really... and in any case, I'm doing all the work

See you at 7pm for El Grande Revealio!!

[RSOAPS]

Probably won't be able to join the reveal live, but will catch up later on

[HildaSilvioOgden]

@HildaSilvioOgden

Hope you're ready for a fight!!

Group A
guirienespana (3) VS (14) Sephiroth_Dude

Group A sees Seph and aaron open up healthy leads on their opponents.

Group B
lorcand1990 (14) VS (3) Leg End Reject
R*Soaps (14) VS (14) Neowise

Group B sees Leggy fall behind but Soapy and Neo are even steven...

Group C
Edser (1) VS (1) Deja Boo
HildaSilvioOgden (14) VS (14) BuileBeag

All square in both matches in Group C, amazingly Edser and Deja facing each other and both acing while Hilda and Buile both sheep...

Group D
davetherave (3) VS (14) Jluv
JP Liz V1 (14) VS (14) nothing

nothing is level with Liz in the rematch of the century in Group D whilst Jluv has a healthy lead on dave...

[aaronjennings]

We showed great character, we go again, etc.

[nothing]

I do love a good fry up.

[Leg End Reject]

Stranger Things didn't even cross my mind.

[Necro]

So how do things finish up? Lettuce take a look at the official scores....


   

Group A puts Seph and aaron in the driving seat with healthy score differences... Shane has yet to play however...

Group B sees Neo and Soapy share the points as they cannot be seperated. Leggy takes a trouncing from Lorcand on the other side with ari waiting to pounce...

Buile and Edser record wins in Group C (I think Edser's score is wrong in that screenshot, he should have 14)

dave loses out to Jluv whilst nothing and Liz agree to disagree and share the spoils.

And that leaves our tables looking like this with one match played...


   

[lorcand1990]

Stranger Things didn't even cross my mind.

I'd like to say you put up a good fight, but.... well....

[aaronjennings]

Only time I'll be ahead of Shane in the table

[Necro]

Ok and we move onto Match Day 2!! Our benched participants enter the fray here to make things even more interesting



Some will be looking to bounce back from early defeats whilst others will hope to capitalise on their success thus far...

Home and Away, the Irish lunchtime staple is the sheep but only 8 strong so there is still room to improve for some in the second half of this matchday....

Or is there?

[Leg End Reject]

Stranger Things didn't even cross my mind.

I'd like to say you put up a good fight, but.... well....

Well played, Lorcan!

Question 4: A priest who got stuck in Ireland's largest lingerie section

[ari101]

Had to wait til it mattered to miss a sheep, great 😅

[aaronjennings]

The 'daytime' soaps requirement really threw me when I was considering the options

[Necro]

Note to future sheep runners: If you're going to have a Father Ted question, either exclude Ted or don't feckin post multiple gifs of him in the sign up thread. Ya big feckin eejit Necro.

This one is a wash, everyone gets 20 points!!

Yes, that's it! The questions are clearly at fault.

[Necro]

   

Group A sees Shane and guirienespana share the spoils whilst Seph picks up his second victory!

lorcand also notches a second win in a narrow victory over ari while Neowise also picks up his first win for an unfortunate Leggy....

Group C has Buile grind out a narrow 2 point win over Deja Boo to lead proceedings while Edser and Butty can't be seperated.

And in Group D Homer squeaks home by a single point to defeat dave whilst nothing has a second draw, this time with Jluv!

   

Seph, lorcand and Buile are in good shape after two games and Jluv leads the pack in Group D. aaron, Neo, Edser and Homer are in the qualifying places at the moment but there are still three Matchdays to go...

[Necro]

Let's move on shall we?

Matchday 3 and things are starting to heat up with some interesting battles this round...



Shane and aaron go into battle whilst the group leader takes the gameday off in Group A.

It's 1st VS 2nd in Groups B and C with the others looking to capitalise on any slips...

Down in Group D nothing is hunting her first win against dave while Homer and Liz face off and Jluv has her feet up.

[nothing]

Gosh darn it, need to kick Homer or daves behind soon to get some proper traction!
