Group E Round 3 - Day 3 : Spain just "killed" Finngall. He can only save a 0-0 from now on. Portugal must lose for that. If not, it will depend on the following games with several possible scenarios.

He scores a goal at line 1 while Jaksotsu's chain is already broken at line 3 and Spain at line 2 cannot help him at all. Final score to be seen. Jakusotsu Goal H Chain H Goal A Chain A Oyama 1.

Thank you very much and congrats !

Apart from the joke, honestly, haven't you seen a much better quality in the games compared with previous World Cups? And don't you believe the major reason has to do wth the fact that the players are in much better shape than they would be at the end of the season in June?

Well, my feeling so far about this World Cup (only regarding the games) is pretty positive. A vast majority of the games (I watched them all) is very pleasant to watch and some were extremely spectacular. I don't know what will happen at games with "no tomorrow" but up to now I'm satisfied. It makes me wonder if it wouldn't be a great idea to play this World Cup (or even the Euro) from now on at mid-season instead of June-July when the players are exhausted after 10 months of competition.... And this guy writes that despite the fact that he looooves to see an international event closing the football season. Your thoughts?

Group E Round 3 - Day 2 : Well, here Spain will play an important role. With a win Finngall will also win this duel. With a draw, Ganzohnesushi will break Finngall's chain at line 2 and will have the possibility to win this depending on Portugal and Switzerland at line 3 as at line 4 he is weak after Denmark's loss.

Netherlands did the job at line 1, Spain also have to do it because there are Germany and Brazil waiting on the other side. That said, we already saw many upsets that it's very difficult to predict anything. Jakusotsu Goal H Chain H Goal A Chain A Oyama 1. Netherlands W - - Germany ® 2. Spain - - Brazil 3.

Group C Round 3 - Day 2 : And today was decisive as Kotonami won! He scores 2 goals at the first line thanks to the (surprise?) loss of Denmark combined with the win of Argentina and breaks the chain of Andrasoyama. So we'll see Kotononami in the octofinals! Andrasoyama will fight in the saucer competition Final score yet to be seen. Andrasoyama Goal H Chain H Goal A Chain A Kotononami 1. Denmark L - X - 2 W Argentina ® 2. Spain - - W England 3.

Costa Rica - - W Tunisia Nekonishiki will have regrets after this. Krisachiyama's chain is broken at line 2 and Nekonishiki has a potential goal there. Well, I just wanted to let a cliffhanger but Nekonishiki has actually also won altogether as his (R) team, Mexico, won at the first line. All Krisachyama can do is some damage control with a win by Portugal. If Portugal win, only 1 more goal for Nekonishiki, if Portugal don't win, 2 more goals will be scored.

ATTENTION JAKUSOTSU, THIS IS NOT THE BENCH WORLD CUP ! So round 2 is over and we had many changes in the rankings. First Kimyama (who is doing just great in both fantasy games) performs the best score up to now, climbs 3 ranks and is our new leader ! Asapedroryu lost the lead but is still second and improved his best score. These two are the only who broke the "100 points barrier" after round 2. Lordshamrock500 climbed 2 ranks and completes the top 3. Chishafuwaku made also a big jump (5ranks!) and is now 4th. Three Portuguese in the top 4? Portugal rules! Djodjoyoshi lost 2 ranks and is now fifth. Athenayama gained 1 rank at sixth. Jejima lost a lot this round, 5 ranks and is now seventh. THOR500 is the only who didn't move ranks! Still eighth. Pitinosato performed much better and gained one rank at tenth. Yarimotsu had a bad round and is now last. Time to bounce back? TEAM Round 1 Round 2 TOTAL 1 SLB WINNERS 51 73 124 2 Asapedroryu 58 59 117 3 Lordshamrock500 46 51 97 4 Chishafuwaku 36 58 94 5 Djodjoyoshi 52 40 92 6 Athenayama 39 52 91 7 Jejima 57 34 91 8 THOR500 36 50 86 9 Bulldogsama 46 35 81 10 Pitinosato 24 51 75 11 Yarimotsu 35 19 54

Ok, I'll see what I can do for round 3.

Please tell me more precisely what bothers you and I'll try to correct it.
