Ah yes
I did shít in that Olympic competition :pac:
You could get people to pick the finalists, winners, top scoring team, top goalscoring player, worst team in competition, total goals, total red cards and award points for each selection they get right0 -

Only to the point of watching them get beaten by Costa Rica.

Hello *waves* long time no see
It could be just me and you doing this as no one else has expressed any interest. I'm liking your idea but how about, instead of picking the finalist, we choose the teams that get to quarter finals? Award points for getting to quarters, then semis, then final, then winner? Also have posters choose their winning team, worst team, goals, etc? It should keep more people in the running.
What do ya think?0 -

Nice to see you again
I was gonna suggest something like you have but tbh thought it might be a lot of work for you to keep track of the scores. If people are gonna participate then count me in
I presume it's the usual €500 entry fee per person and winner takes all :pac:0 -
BooooooooooIt'll be less work. The olympic medals table changed every day and there were loads more countries to sift through!
OK......
1) PICK 8 TEAMS YOU THINK WILL REACH QUARTER FINAL STAGE.
2) PICK THE WINNING TEAM.
3) PICK WORST TEAM IN COMPETITION.
4) PICK TOP GOAL SCORING PLAYER.
5) HOW MANY GOALS WILL BE SCORED IN ENTIRE COMPETITION?
6) HOW MANY RED CARDS IN ENTIRE COMPETITION?
Anything else?
ps: entry fee increased to €1000. I will forward my IBAN details for the Royal Bank of Nigeria later 0 -

Top scoring team?
As we are 'obsessed' with England apparently, what stage will they go out?
Last goalscoring player? (penalty shoot outs not included)
A grand is a nice round number, that'll do for me

Excellent Ms Milkshake!
For the total goals, shall we do a range of 5 goals (like 151-155 goals) cos might be hard to predict the exact amount0 -

They have made a supporter of me too. The Chilean miners was the best happy ending ever!0 -
