Oh, I'd doubt that they would do that :( 5 points wouldn't give me much anyway but if they are prepared to give me them as a reward for sticking my neck out and predicting an upset, then I'd graciously accept them :)

King Sobieski: serbia/spain v. usa You can not get any points with this prediction King Sobieski. You have to choose Serbia or Spain.

You see Seanus, everybody is very silent.

You may be disappointed saying '' Where is friendship ? '' but don't think so.

This silence means you are still a great threat for all the players, a champion candidate, they are afraid of your potantial thinking that even this 5 points can help you to be the champion :))

Nice analysis, Rock :) Anyway, I'm off to check the scores :) My instinct was to go 1-7 and Serbia by 3. As I said, I don't like predicting it so close. Also, the rivalry will be such that Croatia will have upped their game. It's 70-70 right at the death :) Serbia by 1. What a choker for Croatia to go out like that. Ah well, the score range and prediction were both good. SD not :(

Spain are 6 up at HT. My prediction of +13 for Spain looks quite good but we'll see.

congrats Espana, Spain-Serbia will be a very good match.

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,158 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Sep 4, 10, 22:19 #196
Ah well, I got a perfect prediction here. I was 5 points out but in the right bracket (8-14). 150-159 was right and Spain won :) :) Roll on tomorrow's games!

espanaThreads: 40 Posts: 2,233 Joined: Feb 28, 07 ♂	Sep 4, 10, 22:36 #197
rock: Spain-Serbia yep , we playing with the animals who they still think they are at war killing bosnians

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,158 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Sep 4, 10, 22:52 #198
Ach, it happens. We saw in the USA-Iran game that politics should be kept out of it. The same applies here! Spain-Serbia, what a hard game to predict. Spain by 4, I have to remember that.

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,158 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Sep 4, 10, 23:11 #201
Netball is for girls, espana. The British are in the top 60, even though we invest next to nothing in the game. Thanks, Rock. Clawing back some points! Tomorrow should be even better :)

Everybody except King Sobieski and Espana forecast a TURKEY V USA final which means there will not be any change in ranking. Sooooo, Before the final match I will ask another prediction worth 20 points :) Who will be the champion ? Let's wait for the finalists now :)

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,158 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Sep 4, 10, 23:14 #203
I have to say that the USA have consistently been the most impressive so I'll roll with them.

SLOVENIA 87 AUSTRALIA 58 Slovenia showed again they are one of the best teams in the championship. If Turkey can pass France tonight ( match will start 45 min. later ), Slovenia much will be very tough for us. It is obvious that Slovenia is running for a medal too.

Wow, I predicted a win by 7. I thought OZ would score high 70's. Ah well, the Turkey match should be more predictable. I think I predicted plus 14 for Turkey, I'll have to check.

Turkish football team is also watching the match :)
