International Week is just so boring now…
“Up The Bracket”:
Is there anything better than squaring up & smashing your sibling especially when it’s a bit contentious to boot?
Coming on like the PAS version of Oasis, the “Syndicate” brothers duked it out for the £20 weekly prize in a field that only had ten players scoring 30 points or more.
Chris D and Neil M threatened briefly with a late surge courtesy of a 10 pointer, but then just slid away (Neil is probably regretting missing the first four games too!).
So that left our brothers to sort it.
Jason M could only look back (no, i’m not going to say it…) and feel aggrieved as two added-on time goals denied him the family and PAS bragging rights.
Tony Morris 41 (6) on the other hand, had two added-on time goals to thank for his victory – wonderwallful!
The Surging Six
Assists
N.Nanni (91′ pen) – San Marino
D. Adu-Adjei (92′) – Carlisle Utd
“What A Waster”:
First the good news.
Everyone managed to hit double figures!
And…
Fourteen punters scored 15 points or less.
Nine of those didn’t register a correct score.
Propping up the table this week is new kid on the block, Leo Clarke 11 (0).
Don’t worry Leo, proper football is back now!
Correct Score of the Week:
“This Nations League has ruined everything”…most popular score was Sweden’s 2-1 win over Slovakia – 31 of us got that!
Eight quite rightly predicted Norway’s 5-0 thrashing of Kazakhstan
David G & Norman L just knew Italy would score against France for a 1-3
Ben McK & Chris D thrilled at the thrilling Netherlands 4 Hungary 0
Neil M & Chris D (again!) had Sweden’s merciless 6-0 deconstruction of Azerbaijan
Matthew S had Israel’s 1-0 win over Belgium
Anders H nailed Bosnia 1 Netherlands 1
Danny B saw his typo come good on the game in Liechtenstein v San Marino
Paul F believed in Lee. A 0-3 in Greece kinda belief…
Matt W believed in Lee. A 5-0 over Ireland kinda belief…
Roshan T thanked the Lord for Bryan Zaragoza and his 93rd minute penalty conversion
However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Dave Crisp for his I-trust-the-process-and-I-know-Kai-does-too-and-he-knows-Leroy inspired, Germany 7 Bosnia-Herzegovina 0!
Bet of the Week:
Simon B was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
We “won” – well done Si!
“Over 2.5 goals
Belgium v Italy – under
Norway v Kazakhstan – over
Czechia v Georgia – over”
So, £1.66 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 45th taking it to £4.66 – healthy!
Dan Hogwood is at 33rd this week…
Dan, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!
Crunch those stats my son!
