You sure altoz? Is that your scoreline or the number of Greeks parked in front of South Korea's goal?

Oh stuff Up there.. Korea to beat Greece 2-0

Assume Brumby is sufficiently clever to interpret foreign tongues. (They're all in the right order so shouldn't be too hard. Decided to recycle the family tipping.)

I've never heard the term Elfenbenskysten used before. But yeah I'm sure he'll work it out, he's quite bright for an Arsenal supporter..

Two draws means a lot of egg on a lot of faces. Top punters by a distance are grecian & Pothas who call both draws and the SA/Mex game spot on, securing themselves a daily bonus apiece. Cozza, chalky & Samuel also call the SA/Mex 1-1 exactly to bag daily braces and shares of bronze.

Another mediocre day of tipping for the most part. Most tippers bagging at least a point for yer Argies winning (exceptions being grecian, flibberty & chalky) but the one-nil scoreline eluded everyone. 99*, Noble One, Burgey & Meridio all get two points for the one goal margin tho. South Korea's win wasn't predicted by many either, but altoz bags 3 for nailing 2-0 spot-on. & the Anglo-Yankee draw is only predicted by SKD & the day's star man Ausage (who called all three games correctly), but both hit the 1-1 on the head for 3s.

Star man Ausage takes over at the summit. Yesterday's leaders both register minus scores for the day (grecian calling all 3 results wrongly) but remain in medal positions.

Yay a point

I really shouldn't take up betting as a profession, I'm unspeakably dire at anything like this.

[superkingdave]

Good day so far for me, quietly confident the 7-0 is on tonight.

Looking on, tbh.

[BoyBrumby]

Well, not quite, but dav is still the day's top scorer; nailing all three outcomes & Ghana's 1-0 exactly. Full houses for fred and meself too, with both of us taking braces from the Ghanan win for the one goal margin.

Less impressive days for Burgey, flibberty & yesterday's star man Ausage who all fell down on every game.

Five points plus a daily bonus lifts dav into the silver slot, but three for the day takes Pothas into first.
