Hola!

Congrats to Jamie T for getting the last two scores correct (a bit too late though mate!) – 4 players got the Germany 2-3 and Mark Sh notched the 0-0 thug-fest alongside Jamie…

So…

The World Champion for 2010 is (live! from Norwich!) Ben Hogwood who just about held off a valiant late effort from Jamie Tofeili in the runner up position. Black Star Will (no team) Oppong capped a fine tournament with the bronze medal just edging out Tony Bowley in 4th and Olly Osmond in 5th.

Josh Hirst wins Young Player of the Tournament finishing 6th (watch out Jazz, he’s racking up the winnings, and he’s only 10!) – well done to Gareth M, Savan

A, Neil T and Richard H for their Top Ten finishes.

Michelle F gets the 13th place spot prize thanks to Italy and Jamie T/Scott A finished on 23rd thanks to Cameroon & New Zealand not outscoring each other.

Julian F and Dave N landed on 32nd thanks to having no team to out-score each other…

In the battle of the basement, Rich L collects £15 for a 42nd spot finish and Martin Stafford avoided the wooden spoon courtesy of Denmark’s 3 goals.

Correct Score of the Tournament goes to Sam Arora for his emphatic Portugal 7 North Korea 0.

All monies will be paid across today or tomorrow and show up in your bank account as “Pab PAS” (and I’ll be asking for some people to send some money back too – doh!)

Thanks to everyone who took part, please come back in September and remember to tell your friends to get involved! (hopefully it will all be online by then and Pab proof!)

Have a good summer!

Cheers,
Pab

Hey,
Ben H still leads the way going into the last two games and Will O will hate Uruguay even more as their last minute goal on Tuesday denied him 5 points and top spot!

Pretty much as you were for everyone else due to the, ahem, random results with only Julian F profiting due to his very intuitive Holland 3 Uruguay 2 (still not good enough to oust the 7-0 from Best Correct Score though!)

Martin S is still just evading the wooden spoon with Mr 2-0 only 2 points behind him…

Cheers,
Pab

PS – I forgot Suarez can play in the 3rd/4th play off – c’mon Luis!

Looks like the Top 2 will battle it out between them for the crown of World Champion – both got a very commendable 5pts in a horrific QF round for most… (yeah, nil points for moi!)

Savan A somehow managed to get 9 points though (he got the Holland score right – check out the big brain on Savan…) and is making a late charge for the top…

At the bottom Mr 2-0 is only 3 points behind Martin Stafford, who amazed even himself getting 6 points on the board!

Oh, a quick mention to Mark Shakespeare and the brothers Tofeili – they got the Spain score right…

Not long to go now – penultimate update in a few days time.

Cheers,
Pab
