****, forgot to do tips. I only would've picked up one from the Aus game anyway as would've tipped Spain and the draw between Cameroon and the Croats, but that one could be very important*.

Bimp for Round 3 tips

[goughy]

'bimp'. Is that like Inspector Clouseau speak? Like, I got a bimp on my head?

[coalesce]

There's quite a few (very different) definitions, but I think #3 applies http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bimp

But that also prompted me to find this page: http://inspectorclouseau.com/lines.html

Morning wasted

[coalesce]

94 goals after round 2...

[PeteyD]

wow. My 64 was a bit off. And still a round to go!

[Waddzy]

wow. My 64 was a bit off. And still a round to go!

Much better than my 42... I thought soccer at a high level would be plenty of 1-0 and 0-0 scorelines. Clearly I know nothing.

[Buzz]

Wow I suck ... Second last

[Lucasto23]

These draws are killing me good to see plenty of goals, shows the more attacking nature of the game now days

[coalesce]

Bimp for R16 picks.

There were 136 goals in the group stage.

Potential prizewinners at this stage:

1) 3oneday 28pts
2) Marto 27pts

Wooden spoon at this point: shazza_rs 20pts

Still 16 points to play for...

[LeftyHoges]

At this stage with only 16 points to play for I'd say it comes down to anyone who's 3 or less back can still win (which narrows it down to about 5 guys). 3oneday has been pretty consistent over the 3 rounds so clearly knows his stuff. Gonna take a good effort or a ballsy tip to snatch it from him, methinks. The guys on 24 are still a show, but would have to go damn near perfect home to win it.

I'm really regretting missing putting my tips in for the first 3 matches of Rd 2!

[Waddzy]

Im pretty stoked to not be coming last..

Your spot on, gotta take a few gamble tips now to have a sniff

[3oneday]

I only get half of what I win, the other half goes to my 12 year old Liverpool fanatic (who is very happy Suarez only got 13 weeks or whatever), even though he thinks he's a dick for what he did.

[coalesce]

Bimp for 1/4 final picks.

4 players got all 8 R16 games correct: 3oneday, Marto, Lefty, Lucasto - Nice work!

Potential prizewinners at this stage are the same:

1) 3oneday 36pts
2) Marto 35pts

However I think the games are harder to pick from here...

[WBennett]

I agree Coalesce - its tough here.

FYI, I will pay out the cash when I get back from OS in a fortnight or so - everyone has finally paid up so thanks.

[3oneday]

Nah, straight forward really.




Especially when leading

[coalesce]

Bimp for 1/2 final picks.

5 players got all the 1/4 final results correct: Marto, Xray, Lucasto, Buzz, 3oneday

Same top 2 as before:

1) 3oneday 40pts
2) Marto 39pts

With the next 2 players on 37 points, and only 4 points to play for, the prize winners are close to being nailed on, but would only take a 1pt swing for Marto to take the crown as he has been closer at predicting the margin games.

No pressure...

[3oneday]

These two games are a lottery. An old Netherlands against a well balanced Argentina side missing di maria.

A solid German side against a Neymar and silva-less Brazil, yet with Hulk and a massively (and massive) impressive keeper in Cesar.

No idea really

[coalesce]

If it helps (ie so you can do the opposite of me) I've tipped Germany and Netherlands but then I've gone against Brazil the whole tournament and been wrong

[3oneday]

I suppose i could go the opposite of Marto, and end up the same

[coalesce]

One prediction I'm fairly confident on is that they will be pretty cagey games. No one wants to lose a semi final

[PeteyD]

Sportsbet offering $10 on a goal scored from outside the penalty area suggests low scoring.
