Tunisia Comment: After my heavy defeat in round two I need to quickly regroup and get the win in the final group stage match. So we're going all out now! Ganbarimasu! Athenayama 1. Germany (C) 2. Brazil 3. Switzerland 4. Ghana 5. Iran 6. Croatia 7. Mexico 8. Belgium 9. Wales 10. Tunisia 11. Qatar (R) Comment: I have one "intra team" duel (Croatia-Belgium) and many of my other teams either aren't much motivated or face stronger opponents. I could think it over for hours, change the order endlessly and miss the deadline! So let's go with this line up and pray. I also hope that in the other game my old friend Kimyama will do the job and at least not lose. That said, I just found out that Pitinosato (who's becoming a friend too, dare I say?) sent him a big bag full of money.... So what will prevail? Friendship or greed?

Nekonishiki Banji 276 Posted November 29, 2022 Group A - Round 3 standings Kimyama vs Pitinosato Actually, not too much to say yet, Pitinosato has an important win in #1. Chijanofuji vs Athenayama Chijanofuji positioned his R team well again. The only match where a slot has been decided. Group D - Round 3 standings Kurosaki vs Asapedroryu Asapedroryu has the winning Netherlands in Slot #1, too Nantonoyama vs Lordshamrockyama Not too much happened yet, it will be much more colorful tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 938 Posted November 30, 2022 Some admin notes.... I will need to collect your list of penalty takers for the quarterfinals (I already have your list for the octofinals/round of 16), BEFORE the round of 16 matches begin. I intend to send that out tomorrow (i.e. whilst there are still a few games to be played), to give everyone over 24 hours to make their picks - if they need it. Also, I will try to get the rota for refiojis for the round of 16/octofinals up as soon as possible, so please keep an eye out for that, as the the time frame will be small. BUT, if need be, you can send to me your round of 16 line-up if you are limited for time, and I will see that it goes to the correct refioji. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenayama 426 Posted November 30, 2022 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.

Nekonishiki Banji 276 Posted November 30, 2022 Group A - Round 3 standings Kimyama vs Pitinosato Three decided slots, well, Kimyama won’t already get that goal, though. Chain break at most at Slot #5. Chijanofuji vs Athenayama The last slots have been decided, but no chance to score those goals for both players. Group D - Round 3 standings Kurosaki vs Asapedroryu This match has the most decided bouts. Asapedroryu has to wait until Friday to know if he scored a goal or not. Nantonoyama vs Lordshamrockyama And no colors in this one match yet. We’ll see more tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenayama 426 Posted November 30, 2022 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.

Athenayama 426 Posted December 1, 2022 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? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?

Jakusotsu 4,840 Posted December 1, 2022 I've heard differently from German coaches, claiming the level of exhaustion is way higher due to the tightened pre-WC schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asapedroryu 172 Posted December 1, 2022 4 hours ago, Jakusotsu said: I've heard differently from German coaches, claiming the level of exhaustion is way higher due to the tightened pre-WC schedule. Have to agree with them. Teams that play in UEFA competitions have been playing at least 2 matches a week since beginning of September. Plus, in a normal WC, players join their national teams 2 to 3 weeks before the tournament starts. This time, many players had matches the weekend before the WC started and joined their teams less than a week before first match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
