World Cup Komp semi final thread

[rcgills]

Traeth v Howson
Punter v Winrew

Same as before, put your selections up in the relevant match threads. I'll keep running totals in here. The semi-finals of the competition cover the 8 second round games. At the end of this round, the highest-scoring player in each tie will go through to the final. In the event of a tie, the player who finished higher in the table at the end of the group stages will go through.

Good luck all

 

[Punter]

Must take a fair bit of your time running this. Brilliant work Rc & Odm. Thanks.

Good luck Winrew, may the best man win

 

[winrew]

Scores after the first 2 games:

Punter 1.25 v Winrew 1.1
Traeth 4.0 v Howson 1.1

All 4 players are up and running. Great start for Traeth with his HT/FT prediction for France v Argentina coming in.

Spain v Russia:

Punter 1.1
Howson 1.1

Croatia v Denmark:

Punter 2.3
Winrew 2.3

Scores at the halfway stage in the semi-finals:

Punter 4.65 v Winrew 3.4
Traeth 4.0 v Howson 2.2

Good day for Punter who opens up a bit of a gap over Winrew. No winner for Traeth today, which allows Howson to close the gap slightly. All still to play for though.

[traeth]

r.c. =I've p.m. my selection for the 3 p.m. k.o. , thanks

 

[slick]

Gutted for Japan...

Me too, they didn't deserve that.
Martinez did a Mourinho in bringing on Fellaini when all looked lost as a last gasp option and as usual he comes up with the goods.

 

[rcgills]

Punter, Traeth, got them both, cheers

 

[traeth]

hi rc posted my early evening selection to you

 

[rcgills]

Switzerland v Sweden scores:

Howson 5.0
Winrew 2.1
Punter 2.1

Latest overall scores:

Punter 6.75 v Winrew 5.5
Traeth 6.75 v Howson 7.2

Well done to Punter, who's our first finalist - Winrew on both teams to score @ 2.2, even if that comes in it's not going to be enough to catch Punter.

And in the other game, what a fightback from Howson, he lands a 5/1 HT/FT pick to now lead Traeth. If England win tonight, Traeth is through to play Punter in the final, otherwise it's Howson. Good luck both of you.

 

[traeth]

Cheering England to win will be difficult for me.

 

[slick]

Cheering England to win will be difficult for me.

Imagine what it's like being English Traeth, it's fcuking murder lol.
Torment after torment.

England v Colombia scores:

Punter 2.3
Winrew 1.2

Final scores:

Punter 9.05 v Winrew 6.7
Traeth 6.75 v Howson 7.2

Traeth desperately unlucky there, Colombia's 93rd minute equaliser denies him a place in the final.

So, Punter v Howson it is in the final. Well done to both, commisserations to Traeth and Winrew
