Why 24? Only 16 teams participating. Ganzohnesushi

Why are you so sure? What I have learned in playing GTB now for the 20th year is to expect the unexpected. I'm All-in with 8 Sanyaku, i.e. it is Top 20 finish or 200+. Ganzohnesushi

Yes, please. Ganzohnesushi

You can't start early enough to plan your activities after retirement Only 20 more years for Hakuho. Ganzohnesushi

And I just thought Terence Hill has joined the Forum... Ganzohnesushi

I do remember. Thankfully it would have been a loss anyway. Well, sometimes it seems age takes its toll and my brain simply takes a rest But then again there is some entirely useless knowledge available (e.g. Kamraterna Turku participating in the European Cup winners Cup in the mid sixties), obviously wasting space in my personal user memory... Ganzohnesushi

Based on my own goofiness to forget to submit. As you know I reported that day already a win in our German Sumo Chat only to find out a few minutes later that I had obviously not submitted my entry. Ganzohnesushi

As usual results for players ranked in Makushita and new players need to be adjusted for Banzuke making purposes.  Profomisakari HMs1 1-14 ---> 2-13 Takanorappa NMs1 0-0-15 ---> 0-0-15 Torafujii HMs2 0-15 ---> 1-14 Hironoumi NMs2 11-4 ---> 11-4 Tyerenex HMs3 7-8 ---> 8-7 Holleshoryu NMs3 6-9 ---> 8-7 Akagitsune HMs4 10-5 ---> 11-4 Sakura NMs4 15-0 ---> 13-2 Netsuzakura HMs5 0-0-15 ---> 0-0-15 Waraukuri NMs5 0-0-15 ---> 0-0-15 BlindOzekiMcTell NR 8-7 ---> 9-6 HueyLewdist NR 1-14 ---> 2-13 Umihiyama NR 9-6 ---> 10-5 Ganzohnesushi

Now this is a mystery. In my team Oshoryu is listed correctly with 7 wins. Ganzohnesushi

Yes, please. Ganzohnesushi

Really? I'm still leading? Wow! I haven't checked the standings in Makushita Game since Day 2 . What a nice surprise. Ganzohnesushi

LOL... Lucky 6-5 win in SG today. The original scheduled Bout vs. Kitakachiyama would have ended in a crushing 6-8 defeat. Ganzohnesushi

Yes, this is a significant improvement compared to previous years (some 10, 12 or 15 years ago, when M17 could walk away with the Yusho while meeting only one or max. two Sanyaku ranked opponents). I was just irritated that the scheduled Bout between the two leaders was cancelled. Well, I had already had four Sanyaku opponents and at least two more will follow... Thx for your information. Ganzohnesushi

Would like to know why the originally scheduled Bout on Day 12 in Sumo Game vs. Kitakachiyama has changed and I have to fight vs. Kiriazuma now. Kitakachiyama and myself are both leading with 9-2 and have not yet met. And as far as I can see we don't meet in the remaining days. @Xiongmao Perhaps you may have an answer as you are in contact with the games admin. Thx. Ganzohnesushi

I'm far away from being thrilled, but when even such a "great" Ozeki like Shodai has a Yusho under his belt I would be happy for Takayasu to win. Onosato will win enough tournaments in near future. But to be honest, I don't think Takayasu will win. As always he will lose his head on the final stretch. Ganzohnesushi

Happy Birthday! Have a B 52! Ganzohnesushi

And to me it is no surprise that among these 13 we find 9 Makushita ranked players. Ganzohnesushi

Isn't it Arsene Wenger? And btw, Arsen in German means Arsenic.... Ganzohnesushi

I'm glad my brain still works.... I knew I had heard or read this club name and finally found out where. No mixing up Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna i Åbo (Finnish Åbo is Turku in German) has won the Finnish Cup in 1965, thus participated in the European Cup winners Cup 1966/67 (won by Bayern München vs. Glasgow Rangers). Turku lost in the first round vs. Servette Geneve from Switzerland (1:1, 1:2). Why did I remember? As a little boy someone made a nice gift to me. Annual Football Year Book of 1966/67. I've read this intensely and was fascinated by the funny name (at least funny for a little German boy) of Kamraterna... Even a few decades later I still remember Ganzohnesushi

@Kotoroiwa Turku? How about IF Kamraterna? I guess they have not participated in European matches for a long time. Ganzohnesushi

First four letters say everything about this club.... Ganzohnesushi

Your talent in picking exactly these one-side guessed bouts is undisputable Ganzohnesushi

Wrong. No team? From my point of view Bayern, Barca and Real Madrid are better than PSG. Then again in two games you need luck, no injured key-players and a neutral ref doing a good job. PSG is on a good path to become a "normal" football club after getting rid of some of their overpaid divas. But still they would be nothing without the extra petro dollars from Qatar. In case PSG one day will only spend self-earned money I might even root for them in the one or the other international match. Because it is not the club I dislike but the current concept.7 Ganzohnesushi

To be honest, I don't waste any thoughts on a match that might come with a mathematical probabilty of only 6,25% in a couple of weeks. I'm strictly following the statement from wise Sepp Herberger who once stated "the next opponent is always the hardest". Internazionale Milano in QF is tough, moreover I don't think PSG will survive a possible SF vs. Real Madrid. Mister Al-Khelaifi needs to spent another few hundred millions, but even then I hope PSG will never win CL as long as they simply waste money given by some Arabs, Qataris or someone else. Sadly enough ManCity has achieved this in 2023. From my point of view a black day for football. In the era of Uli Hoeness FC Bayern has never spent any D-Mark or Euro which they haven't generated by their own before.
