Official World Cup Tipping Competition

I've been beaten by a better side detoxin, 

happy to have made the quarters 

see you at the next world cup (or the Euro's)

A bit gutted to be eliminated on yellow cards.

Glad to be in the semi finals. Has been a good tournament being ranked 7th in the world of yellow fever tipping previously.

Germany 1

Argentina 1

And I don't think it is necessary but nine yellows.

Germany 1
Holland 1

Yellows. 7

I think it's me ...

Germany by 1

Argentina by 1

Yellows 8

And if it's any consolation, my German heritage probably means I'll get beaten in the semis.

If it makes you feel any better i have German heritage as well

So from what I can tell TAB are making the same score picks as me. What yellow cards are they choosing? I can't see that option on the site.

not feeling confident about my picks now... slightly ahead 50.0000001% meaning a draw after extra time would most likely give me the win on yellow cards.. but with RVP likely out i think i may lose

No other reason :)

That would lead me to ask if you are, or are an assosiate of player x

and to make sure i get a result i just put 50 on Argentina to go through in normal or extra time

So, four yellows all up. Still none the wiser as to whether I won or not though.

i would say if they do have yellows there pick would have been 7. based on over/under 3.5 cards a game.

however im pretty sure that the TAB doesnt have the advantange of extra time

however i'm pretty sure that the TAB doesn't have the advantage of extra time

Checking their previous tips they didn't make yellow card tip either

TAB picked 0 yellows, which is the standard yellow card vote for non-forum players across the A-League tipping comp and it's what I've been giving them right through this tournament. Usually, it means that if the game goes to ET, it will mean TAB will lose, but this isn't happening here unfortunately.

So who am i facing in the final?

It's certainly not the first time I've been beaten by the TAB.

Semi-final results:

Detoxin 2 Turfmoore 2 (a.e.t)

Arsenal 2 TAB 2 (a.e.t)

3rd/4th Playoff: Turfmoore vs Arsenal

Final: Detoxin vs TAB

Matches:

Brazil vs Netherlands

Germany vs Argentina

Had I known that rule I would, of course, have picked 1 yellow (which rational person wouldn't?).

So left to me to win it for the forum, now for the stratagy

and my picks are

Brazil 1 (think they will come back for their pride... they need it for the country

Germans 1  (how can you pick against them.)

Cards 1

Germany 1

Brazil 2+

Yellows: 5

As the person who correctly picked the Germany - Argentina final and then being undone by corrupt referees who failed to produce yellow cards when they were quite clearly deserved, my confederation is considering considering withdrawing from this meaningless 3rd place game in protest.

A full statement will be released by the Secretary-General in due course.

Withdraw, or just play like a bunch of 8 year olds.

OK, here goes (the Secretary General has agreed that the federation partake).

Brazil by 1 over Netherlands

Germany by 2+ over Argentina.

Yellows 6

So did i win???

World champion and it feels great. Would have preferred to play a real player in the final though
