Really hoping for a Sweden win tho as the commentators are really, really annoying. Every foul by England ignored and every other one should be a red card!!! Almost unwatchable due to that. On BBC 'Sweden are like a Championship side and have no stars'. They scraped thru and are unbearable,if they win it, 66 and 2018 we will never hear the end of it.

Selections please. Deadline 3pm, Friday 6 July Unfortunately BowenBoys is indisposed this morning, so he has asked me to announce two special 20 point bonuses: (1) for anyone who achieved a perfect pre-selection of one surviving team for each quarter final game and therefore did not require to bother BB by sending in any choices. (2) for anyone who correctly predicts a Sweden victory in the quarter finals as BB's indisposition is due to a seasonal condition known as ECH or English Commentators Headache.

Auld Jag Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 On 08/06/2018 at 10:07 PM, BowenBoys said: Prize Pot With a prize pot for the participating nations of US$400,000,000, I'm very grateful to the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol for their contribution of an old photograph for our prize pot. Don't think there will be any more contributions now. Good to see so many of the world's richest football nations helping us out. There is, however, some good news. As mentioned here, Auld Jag is planning to sponsor players this season with the balance of the money raised by you (and digger's bucket collection) for Rab the Jag's memorial. AJ has offered one of these new season's tops to add to the prize for the winner. Don't know which player it will be yet. Perhaps he will be a citizen of the World Cup winning nation... Now there is a prize worth winning (and a photograph) Enter competition before 4pm, Thursday 14 June to be in with a chance of winning. Thanks AJ The winner will be asked to choose between Blair Spittal or Jack Storer away top for the 2018/19 season. Good luck everybody. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, it's Belgium. I just need an answer to the last bonus point question then you can sit back, enjoy the football and pray for Belgium.

BowenBoys Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Quarter Finals Here are your teams for the quarters. Two players failed to get selections in for Brazil v Belgium. Will slip them in if I get them before 7pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb1876 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Even though I guessed Belgium, I am quite surprised that Brazil are out. Who's going to stop England if they get past Sweden and prob Croatia (or Russia) ? Honest opinion is they could beat both France and Belgium.

Really hope you are wrong.I don't think Engerland are anything special.After the first game against Tunisia the English FA complained to FIFA about not getting any penalties and since then they have got 3 pens in the last 2 games they have scored in.Any time they get a set piece that is going into the box they make sure that the ref notices the defenders challenging the England players in the box,then they go down like pins in a bowling alley.They have not scored in open play since they played Panama.Come on Sweden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 One player has no teams left after yesterday's games. Five others need Croatia to win today to avoid the same fate. Five other players could still have maximum points from this round and all four teams in the semi finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden have never really replaced Peter Lindau. Even Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were but poor reflections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
