    Well, a close finish definitely! I feel like Germany, 3rd place is very respectable, but damn it I was so close to going all the way. Anyway, see you next time and congratulations!!

  • Thanks Cabezon

  • it is over..

    » Posted on July 10th, 2006 06:16:53 AM by cabezon

    now what do we do with our lives..??

    marcos thank you very much.. it was lovely.. this made the world cup much more fun.. and frustrating in a way.. I agree with anand, you should do it for eurocup and even copa america.. probably los juegos centroamericanos too..(by the way, all my respect to anand, congrats) la polla proved to be a high quality high tech competition with high class competitors.. marcos, thank you.. I'll always remember you now and think about you every night..

    thank you also for letting me advertise my favorite blog here too.. (though I didn't really ask).. and on that note,
    http://cabezadere.blogspot.com has more updates on the world cup and will continue to publish on an almost regular basis with the same absurd sarcastic nonsense..

    adios amigoooooosss!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks :)

    Briegel, Camcoca. Thanks guys and apologies for never responding to your emails before. The thing is I started thinking that the moment I responded I would jinx my chances of winning...So apologies for that.

    Marcos - excellent work on this website. We should do this for Euro 2008 as well!! Thanks a ton for the excitement you have provided all of us!! This world cup was definitely even more special thanks to this polla!

    As most of you already know, thanks to kirsch, who made it public in the forum, he and I, had an inside bet going on, and today my mathematical chances of defating him are gone, so he is the winner, he was more acurate than I was, and he deserves every penny.
    So there you go Kirsch, I declare you the winner publicly, congratulations to you, and better luck for me next time.
    Hey, dude, maybe for the next POLLA, we could enter togheter, that would be a good team.

  • Photo finish?

    » Posted on July 05th, 2006 11:18:31 AM by kirsch

    3 games to go... if Anand gets 2 points, he will pretty much win the thing. If the game ends 1-1 then things will get extremely interesting at the end. Mathematically most of us are out. Personally I'm still playing now to win bragging rights (i.e. friends who made fun of me when I was last place the first round). Also, I placed a personal bet with le mush and it's now almost certain I win - I have a 6 point lead over him. Good.

  • Referees...

    » Posted on June 26th, 2006 08:04:00 PM by traserosface

    There are the bad ones and the worst ones... last world cup in Korea, Italy and Spain suffered from bad referees and at least, Italy got paid back today. Funny it was in front of Gus Hidding again. In the end, justice may be slow, but the bastard paid his luck from last time.
    I agree it wasn't a penalty, yes, but Australia didn't generate anything either, Italy was far closer to the goal than the Socceroos. Sorry, but this is the reality, whether you like it or not. They have favored England, Portugal, Germany, etc, so don't be stupid and blame only the Italians, 'cause everybody is getting free tickets here.

  • Is it jsut me?

    » Posted on June 26th, 2006 11:45:30 AM by kirsch

    Or do the referees seem to be tilted in favor of the big-name teams? That penalty on Australia was bullshit, and most people agree Heinze should have gotten a red card in the Mexico game when he lost the ball and tackled Fonseca.

    Maybe after the 2002 referee fiasco, FIFA gave clear instructions to the referees: when in doubt, help the big one.

    Marcos - I thought Ivory Coast outplayed Argentina by quite a little. The Mex-Arg was pretty evenly matched. But what you fail to mention is the disallowed goal for argentina in the 86th min....Althought kudos to Mexico for coming out with their guns blazing...

  • Rollercoaster

    » Posted on June 25th, 2006 07:16:27 AM by briegel

    I started watching the Mexico game kind of assuming Argentina would win, but hoping for a miracle. What do you know, score in the first 5 minutes. I thought is it possible? Then the tie. Then a great game. Then that beautiful Argentinian goal. Why? Why? A rollercoaster of emotions.

  • This sucks...

    » Posted on June 24th, 2006 05:15:42 PM by kirsch

    Mexico is out of the World Cup. What else is there now in life to look forward to?
    I must say, that play where Fonseca steals the ball and gets fouled should have been a red card. And the referee as always couldn't get himself to pull out those yellows against Argentina when he should have. Those could have changed everything.
    Anyway... at least I must say I'm proud of how Mexico played (not something the americans, french or czech can say), and I think that everyone will agree this has been the hardest game for Argentina by far and the only one in which they did not outplay the rival.

    I agree with both. Perhaps if the top 10 players agree with the modification, we could do it. But I think it is a bit complicated to get their feedback...

    » Posted on June 16th, 2006 02:36:54 PM by serge

    OK, we are not changing anything, and that's OK. However, while the elimination games are more important, we've already seen all the teams in action in three games, so we have more prior knowledge to base our scores on. Therefore, the guesses should be somewhat easier, which cancels out the importance factor...
    Moot point, as we are not changing anything now.

  • Re: TUN-KSA or PAR-TRI = WORLD CUP FINAL!!!?

    » Posted on June 16th, 2006 02:27:26 PM by kirsch

    Regarding camcoca's suggestion:
    While I think that increasing the value of matches in more advanced rounds of the tournament is a good idea, unfortunately I can't change the rules after people already signed up given a set of rules. I can see the leader protesting if I change anything, as I'd be giving more of a chance to people who was left behind. Sorry, it's a great suggestion though.

    I suggest to at least DOUBLE the points for next rounds.
    There will be only 16 games left and they’re the most important, most of us have similar points and we don't want to have a polla winner before the semis or the final! Does anyone DISagree?? What do you say Kirsch?

    Bad game, let me rephrase that real, real, real bad game for Mexico. I think being a favorite went to their heads easily. Good luck to Mexico against Portugal!!!

    danieljllo, I just might do what you are suggesting!!!

  • Ugly Disappointment

    » Posted on June 16th, 2006 01:58:00 PM by briegel

    I thought I underbid with Mexico 1 - Angola 0. What a fricking disaster. We have no chance against Portugal, much less Argentina or Holland.

  • so many chances....

    » Posted on June 16th, 2006 01:42:52 PM by ace

    ...and no goals to show for it! What's up Mexico?

    » Posted on June 16th, 2006 11:06:13 AM by camcoca

    I suggest to at least DOUBLE the points for next rounds.
    There will be only 16 games left and they’re the most important, most of us have similar points and we don't want to have a polla winner before the semis or the final! Does anyone DISagree?? What do you say Kirsch?

  • one can only feel for Ivory Coast...

    » Posted on June 16th, 2006 09:49:33 AM by ace

    ..they were put in the wrong group...they definitely deserve to be in the Round of 16...they are a great team

    Something weird happens when you hit refresh on the post page I think, either a duplicate post or somebody elses post on your name, anyway, 6-0 is probably the highest scoring game I've seen, what is the record?

    Wow 3-0 already, in the first half. It would be nice if it stayed that way, but given how Argentina is playing so far, I doubt it...

    » Posted on June 13th, 2006 08:42:03 AM by ace

    I don't think France will be too impressive. I still think they'll win the game though. The Swiss have a good team. Unless Henry can produce some masterclass, this game will lacklustre...1-0

    An easy way to scroll is to click anywhere in the table, and then use your cursor keys to navigate...

    However, if you do that, you will never get to see Marcos' scores :-)

  • Very nice, Mr Kirsch but...

    » Posted on June 13th, 2006 12:14:13 AM by meister dk

    Could you place a scroll bar at the top of the result list. Its very annoying for Us "top-10'ers", that we have to scroll down to all the loosers, to see the remaining results;-)

  • Do you like it?

    Putting a scrollbar on top is a little tricky, I don't think I'm going to do it. I have other ideas though (thanks for the suggestions) that will make the results table easier to read without it being too much work for me... after all, I have ANOTHER job that actually pays money :)

    Marcos, Mexico played well, but they were playng against a very weak rival, that made a lot of mistakes, one of them cost them a goal.
    I still don´t think we proved that we have enough to go on strong to the second round, whn we do weel against Portugal, I´ll we convinced.
    Let me know what you think.

  • You can see your predictions

    As hard to imagine as it could be, you can see your results in the Results page. Come on ace? what's wrong with you?

  • Why can't I see my predictions?

    I agree the deadline has passed but we should still be able to see the predictions!

  • Argentina?

    Who says Argentina is going to make it past the 1st round?? Its going to be the Netherlands and Ivory Coast..mark my words :)

  • Neither Argentina nor England...

    I think Argentina is going to loose against Mexico in the second round. England is going to loose against Brasil in the semi finals... and Brasil will be the champion.

  • Nah!
