MT: World Cup

we'll await confirmation from bbrech0610, and if no one else has joined by the time he confirms his spot, then we'll make Zikry the 8th person and draw the teams

 

bbrech0610 you in?

 

Sorry. I'm really going to struggle getting games in. Don't want to let everyone down. If you need me to make the tournament work then I'll try my best.

 

yeah... basically you & Zikry would be our 7th and 8th entrants, and less than 8 isn't enough to run a tourney. With July 4th coming up, I'd probably make the group stage deadline friday the 11th, so if you think there's a chance you could play 3 games by then, i'd say sign-up and let's get this rolling! and at the end of the day, if you do end up being unable to play, it's not a huge deal- it's still just a mini-tourney for fun and it would just result in your group dropping down to a 3-team group.

 

Why don't we just do a 6-man round robin? Top 4 to playoffs?

 

i guess that works too. i was just thinking your normal WC format, but i think that might work better as then we all get 5 games to play.

that way we don't have to worry about bbrech0610 being unavailable and Zikry can continue to use that fancy ps4 thing he has . So i'll just assume they're both out then unless I hear back from them shortly and can do the team draw around midnight ET tonight when I have some more time.

 

Alright, so looks like we'll go with the 6-team round robin. I'll post the teams here in just a few minutes...

 

The following each will receive their top choice, as they has their top choice go uncontested among the other entrants:

Selvy9 GERMANY

Kevin Gomez MEXICO

RedAL925 FRANCE

That leaves us with shiftee and Go Devils who both had Italy as their #1 choice. Following a draw, we have:

shiftee ITALY

Go Devils BRAZIL

By losing out on the draw (and actually predicting this would happen lol), Go Devils got his 3rd choice in Brazil, as his 2nd choice (Germany) was already taken.


Since there is only 6 of us, I don't mind if someone decides to change their team- just announce it before your first game if you choose to do so. Threads for scheduling & results will be up shortly. And lastly, that leaves me for the final pick. And of course, it wouldn't be a true World Cup without...

GO GO USA!!!​

Dos a Cero!

Mexico survives the United States late attacks to hold on to a victory.
Geovani Dos Santos was clutch, with 2 goals, including 1 in extra time in a 1on1 situation with Tim Howard.

Landon Donavon, surprisingly on the U.S. roster, showed why he should have been left off the team, missing multiple sure goals.

Good Game Broncos218

 

I think it was because he was stuck with Brad Davis' #14 kit. That shirt's like poison now lol. GG
