WORLD CUP CONQUER CLUB 2006 [WINNER: TEAM CANADA 1]

[Pedronicus]

Do we really have to wait until the next WC? can't we do another something like this before then, because I don't know where i'll be in 4 years, but it might not be CC.

Wait 4 years? ....Get used to being a FOOTBALL SUPPORTER

[qeee1]

Yep, and my team is now definitely knocked out.

Sorry to hear that John.

[qeee1]

Well after losing our first two games it was a bit much to hope for to go through.

Also all first round games have now been initiated. That's 48 games. (YAY!)

lucky

[qeee1]

Website will be updated soon. I generally wait until I have at least 3 results to post, just in case anyone cares, it's not that I'm ignoring you guys.

[VanCleef]

Sweden are out and had a good time playing. The tourney was a great idea and you guys running it are making an awsome job.
Hope this was the first of many CC World Cups to come, but not every 4th year only though

Good luck to all teams remaining !

[qeee1]

Thanks VanCleef, and anyone else who's said words of encouragement.

[Pedronicus]

Yeah, Cheers Lee, and thanks for sorting out the group of death without the need for a play off game

The knockout stages will be commencing shortly. The knockout table has been updated accordingly.

All 5 Norway teams (including Canada/Norway) made it through. The probability of that happening randomly is something like 1 in 48... so well done guys.

Groups A, B, and C remain unfinished.

[Marvaddin]

Yeah, people from Norway are very dangerous in this game... (people from Ireland, on other hand, are almost harmless ) Im happy we will already not face Norway 1 in the 2nd round

Hmmm, why are the tables of group stage showing 2 games for England 3 and Ireland 1?

[Marvaddin]

we have a small problem, im not sure if we are going on to the next round, but if we do we have a team memeber who will be unavailable for two and half weeks.

i need toi know if i just forfit those3 games or am i allowed a sub?

Yes, you are qualified:

If you need a substitute, grab one quickly.

By the way, even with 3 games going, now we know all qualified teams and their positions, right? (Well, I assume England 2 has no chances against South Africa at this point.) Should the 2nd round games start? Or started already?

[onbekende]

Can we wait with the next rounds, I think I am not the only one going on holiday of the teams going through, maybe waiting for september is even beter, if only we would know when people will be away and for how long.

[qeee1]

Should the 2nd round games start? Or started already?

Yes, the second round games have started, game 39807 is the first to start. Please tell your team to join asap.

I'm afraid we can't wait, the competition is dragging on as it is. Waiting until September would cause an even greater loss of players I fear. Subs however are allowed.

INFO REGARDING SUBS:

Subs are allowed but:

a) The team must find the player themselves
b) The team must decide whether the sub is to be temporary (ie. only used until their teammate comes back) or permanent (ie. their teammate is essentially dropped from the team and replaced by the sub).
c) The team must inform either myself or Pedro
d) Subs are allowed from teams that were knocked out in the first round, and from people not in the competition, but not from teams who made it to any later stage, to prevent any cheating.

I think the competition should be renamed the Norwegian Cup. These guys are out of control.

[Belzbub]

Yeah, it should be called "Norway National CC Championship" : NNCCC.

Yeah, it should be called "Norway National CC Championship" : NNCCC.

I just hope we don't have an all Norway final... it'll sound much less exciting if it is.

[reverend_kyle]

I'd think the US would win.... I mean we are good with useless wars.. who the f*ck would have expected norway.. do they even have an army?

[Pedronicus]

All I know about unknown armies around the world is that the Swiss are equiped with a knife that if you attack them at night you might;

1. Have all your scales removed.
2. Have a fisk hook removed quickly
3. Have all the dirt under your fingernails removed.

The Norwegian army have a pen knife that has one tool - a big stick with nails in it to club baby seals.

[Red Army]

Kudos to Norway for getting this far, but when one of them hits us, that will be as far as they go.

Russia/Brazil is going to win. We already brought the english-speaking world to its knees.

Yeah, well if you're planning on doing that, could you please join your game?

No: 39804 by the way, Marv should have sent you the pass...

[Marvaddin]

Yeah, I sent already, at least twice... Isnt your inbox full, partner? Well, I wouldnt say like RA, but I expect a great game if we play against Norway people...

[Pedronicus]

the 2006 bit in the title is new.

I think this won't be the last CC WC

[qeee1]

Hey, just a note to say that I'll be gone for the next couple of days, so if there's any problems with the competition tell Pedro.
