Good morning all,
The kicked off is past us, so we are ready for a ride of almost one month.
Yesterday Russia beat Saudi Arabia with 5 - 0. While the win maybe wasn't unexpected, the score line for sure is.
7 players did have Russia in their entry and of course they are the first leaders of the pack!
But remember this contest is a marathon and not a sprint, so lots of things still can happen. Even for the first round prizes!

| 7 | @xtramedium | 8 | 56 | 72 |
The other contestants still have 0 points.
Let me know with what frequence I should be posting these score! During the round robin groups I will be able to post it on a daily basis!
If you do think that there are any errors within my calculations, please let me know!
It's really going to be awesome I will wait for your post
Just a very simple sanity check and to explain one more time how those points are actually calculated:
3 points for winning +5 points for scored goals = 8 points in total.
Since all leaders have 80 points they have coefficient 10 for Russia. Since 8*10=80.
I should have put Russia at 12 coefficient, that would have been my one and only opportunity to take the lead 😁
I do foresee Belgium crushing Panama with an even bigger score 😁
Still 15 more games to be played for round 1, so plenty of games to catch up!
Cheers,
Peter
I am really counting on them to help me lose the chasing packs. I predict a 4 nil win for them.
Thanks for the first update. Yes, the win was expected. The score was such because of many late goals.
Don't put yourself under pressure about posting daily updates. It's your game and your time :)
Indeed, I did hand over the TV at 2-0 to the kids. Didn't expect much more of the game! I to be honest, while the atmosphere was great, the game itself wasn't so appealing!
I will try to update the scores as much as possible! Yes it is my time, buy by setting up this contest I also made a commitment to the community :)
Cheers,
Peter
I agree. Eventhough it would be nice to see updates after every game-day, do it in your own tempo!
I think daily updates may keep it very exciting but an update every second of third day will also suffice
I will see what I can do. Sunday will be a difficult day. With a golf tournament, the world cup games and the obliged shooting pool and drinking beer the end the weekend :)
I do promise that I will do my utmost best!
Cheers,
Peter
