And remember, only your first 2 comments on or after 12noon PT count, and you must make your 2 comments by 3pm PT. Good luck!
*DB played his part yesterday. If anyone else knows of a specific conflict, please let me know beforehand
101 comments:
Well here we go again.
I hope these are the posts that count.
If I did it correctly, there ain't gonna be much scoring here.
Here's the crossing pass...
It's in the back of the net!
Is the first that comment that counts at 12 pm PST or 12 pm EST??
Well, that's one better than yesterday. Hopefully J Steve brings his "B" squad.
Sweet Jesus, I thought it had already started! That's a relief.
First 2 comments between 12noon and 3pm are the ones that count (all times PT).
OK, how do we click on the individual comment? I just don't get it. Is it a right-click thing or what?
Okay. Be back at 12 PM PDT (3 PM EST).
FC Wicks will be employing a 3-4-3 today to maximize scoring chances!!!!
rbn, you have to view the comments from the individual post view (not the "Post a Commnet On" view).
So click on the individual post, then scroll down to the comments, and hover over the timestamp of your comment and you should see the url if you have view status bar activated (otherwise just click the timestamp and it should go to the url).
EK, i like the pic!
I like the pic, too... it's probably the closest I'll ever get to Charlize Theron!
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
This is U.S. History, I see the globe right there.
Learning about Cuba and having some food.
OK, got it figured out. Thanks, EK.
The intrawebs is a fascinating thing.
For some reason, now I have a craving for Cuban food...
Well I hope it's time.
Clock strikes twelve!
Here comes my second zero
Maybe this is the second one.
2 + 6 = 8 for yours truly. Time to jump off for lunch. Good luck to everybody I'm not playing against today.
Just 2 quick comments...
Well, let's see how it goes.
This one's for you, Mr. C!
This one, too!
An 8 combined! Apparently I'm not going to make it out of the group round...
cmon fellas, lets make the people back home proud!
And we're underway in Capetown.
they are so unproud right now (just like the English)
Cripes. A zero for my opening salvo.
Hope this finds the mark.
F you, zero!
al-Khwarizmi should have kept his damn yap shut!
oof 0 + 3? you impotent twat!
now I can go back to my old avatar
I preferred Flo anyway
My mistake. I looked at the url for my ID.
A 7 and a 6 for me.
Looks like I have a good chance of wrapping up my place in the elite 8 today.
Victory! The late goal by Kuyt wins it in stoppage time!
(Taunting algebraic concepts apparently works)
i should have done more taunting - i can only hope for a forfeit at this point
Can someone look at my posts and tell me what my score is? I can't get it to work on my work computer.
Here we go. I'm back at work after staying home sick yesterday (and being stuck in bed completely useless on Sunday).
Oy. Was that a 0 or a 10? I hope for my co-worker's sake that I am no longer contagious.
Check
and check
Sorry FB, no forfeit today. I'll miss the avatar though.
TD, I believe you got a 3 and a 1.
And just to rub it in...
haha Jason you evil bastard!
i'll be pulling for you in the coming rounds!
@FB: "I preferred Flo anyway"
I KNEW IT!!!
Quick kick!!!!
Crap I got yellow carded!!!!!
Thanks FB. Good game {high five} good game {high five} good game {high five}...
Looks like I have drawn today. One point is better than none!
fanerman, thanks. I appreciate it. Not looking good.
Scores updated, please verify accuracy...
@Jason: "Good game {high five} good game {high five} good game {high five}..."
That's why I support RFDI, Reviving Flo vs. Deltalina in Inner-cities!
DB vs Greg was a good matchup.
Oooooh. I woulda gotten TROUNCED today.
Another tie? Seriously, we need PKs...
I can't believe Jason beat FB with a 6 total.
Anyhow I think I'm gonna change up the tiebreaker rules if any participants are tied after tomorrow's round. Will have a shootout of sorts instead of going with differential, etc.
I'll ruminate a bit and explain tomorrow.
A 1 on the first post? Great. I score as often as a real futbol team.
Woo-hoo ... a 9
I didn't see my score updated, just wanted to make sure I'm in this time!
Oooh! The draw in the other match opens up a second chance to advance!
Scott, looks like you need 1 more post before 3 pm PST
Haha, it's like I'm drawing all the way out of the group stages
@EK - I think part of the issue here is the fact that we're only looking at the final digit, the scores would be a lot higher (thereby introducing more variability) if we had looked at the last 2 digits.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!
C'mon, Big Bucks. No whammies. ... no whammies ... and .... STOP!
Can I win the group today?
Not a "0" Not a "0"...
I posted three times but they didn't seem to count.
Awww, my fault! Had the timing wrong. I'm a recent transplant still getting used to east coast time. Off by three hours on my first two posts!
Scott, only your first 2 comments between 12noon and 3pm count.
You got them in though now, and you got 15, so far a tournament high!
fanerman continues to intimidate and might force a forfeit for the second day in a row. Will anyone step up to take on the juggernaut?
Only Bryan is pending...
Opponents take one look at fanerman's prowess with the 'enter' key and run for the hills.
Greg - I actually started off planning to do the last 2 digits, but changed it to 1 specifically to increase the probability of a draw.
Though I admit I didn't think there would be this many. I thought maybe 1 or 2 across the 3 rounds.
I fear no enter key! (I do however fear the dark, totem poles and the sound made when quickly peeling duct tape)
Wait, was that out loud?
Well fuck me in the armpit. I swear the AR's flag was up on Scott's second goal. Where's video replay when we need it?
Coulda been a handball as well.
let's see how this goes
So, Jason and DB are through to elimination play? That's amazing, I was sure there would be more with six, but no dice.
Fanerman could also clinch, pending Bryan's second leg result.
I was trying to keep my mouth shut and not tempt fate and hope Bryan would be a no show, but Jason already jinxed me. The odds look like they're on Bryan's side now.
@EK, heh, I thought you might have done that to tease out some ties but that's how statistics'll fuck ya! I wonder if I can go for an unprecedented third draw tomorrow. It amuses me too that yesterday I got 9 and today I got 8.
Whoa, got ahead of myself. Dusty's at least got a tie for the second slot locked up if he loses outright to the Good Professor tomorrow.
@Greg
Lies, damned lies, and all that...
I checked here 1st after I landed and b4 I called Mrs Dusty.

Good thing you didn't use those as your 2 posts, Dusty.
What wld I have scored? Good thing those were only friendlies w Bulgaria and San Marino.
let's see
@Dusty
Woulda been a 6.
Also, congrats to your Blues. A group win is a group win, even if you have to draw with APOEL to get there.
Late substitution for Bryan pays off!
My bad fanerman, I'm usually only good for the reverse jinx.
Damn.3
Mr. Customer - haha, exactly!!
Only two eliminated today (stay strong J Steve, I still could use a spoiler), and group D is a dead heat!
That "0" really killed me.
Group B
Dusty 4 pts; 19GF; 15GA
Keven 3 pts; 19GF; 17GA
Greg 2 pts; 17GF; 17GA
Me 1 pt; 19GF; 21GA
Looks like I need a new keeper...
Thanks for the group breakdown there Steve, looks like I won't be able to draw my way into the next knock-out stages, need to win against Keven
"Looks like I need a new keeper..."
He didn't let the Quaffle in,
Weasley is our King!
