Pop World Cup: Half*-Time Report

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Hosts Germany have found Group A anything but a walkover and are not even assured of qualification with strong challenges from unfancied Ecuador and highly-fancied Poland (ahem). Minnows Costa Rica are mathematically still in it but will be looking for a massive performance in the second half of the group stage in order to save themselves from the bottom spot.

Keep those entries coming. There's a link on the Poptimists info page to the game in case you want to vote later and can't be both'd to trawl through the usual nonsense.

*yes, one 'half' lasts a day and the other lasts five days. WHAT OF IT?

Yes, it could affect voting - we shall see! Lots of votes still to come I'm sure. In the event of tied scores - and it is very close - the H-T score will be the decider.

I acknowledge that it's too late for this suggestion, but it might have been an idea to allow substitutions after the half time score, in case EG starry-eyed Costa Rica have been pacing themselves for the final, and entered their fourth best tune.

Too confusing really. Obviously in an ideal world we'd have had a PROPER 6-MATCH GROUP STAGE gibber gibber.
