WORLD CUP 2014 - END OF TOURNAMENT AWARDS
Roberto's Dream was crowned the tournament winner after being the only player to correctly play an ace when it mattered most.
Dream finished on an impressive 92 points, a full 21 more than the runner-up (me). The podium was completed by Hellerad, who finished third.
And now the awards....
Golden boot: Shared by TGW89 and @billybeeru (10 spot-on predictions apiece).
Most points gained in one day (no cards): Billybeeru, gained 17 points from a possible 20 (16/6/2014).
Best prediction of the tournament: @fatshark for being the only entrant to predict a Chile win over Spain (19/6/2014).
Idiot Savant prediction of the tournament: @Bungle predicting a 6-4 win for Germany against Brazil. Rest assured I was just wiling it to happen and it so nearly did and probably would have if Neymar was fit.
Stupidest prediction of the tournament: Notnever, predicting a 2-2 draw for Korea against Belgium, basically shooting himself in the foot and inadvertently keeping Bungle in the tournament!
As if keeping that pesky Ewok in contention (ha!) wasn't enough, he then had the brass neck to publicly accuse me of fixing it so he and Stubbs went out and it was just GOT'ers in it!
I had a good mind to claim damages, when I remembered that (thanks to GOT's awesomeness and vast superiority) only two people in the whole world will have actually read the accusation on the everton mad board - me and notnever himself!
Comment of the tournament: "If I could place myself on ignore I would have done." - Bungle 7/7/2014
Best beard: @Mikey_Fitzgerald
Award for username which sounds most like a job search engine: fatshark
And finally, the Premier League team likeness awards:
Roberto's Dream: Arsenal 1997/8 - Decent start, fell away a bit but came surging back to win it in style with excellent tactics!
TGW89: Liverfall 2013/14 - High scoring with a lot of spot-ons. After being there or thereabouts, seriously threatened to win it but one SLIP (playing the Ace on Argentina to beat Holland) snatched it away in cruel, but somewhat hilarious, fashion.
That though, is where the comparisons with those red heathens ends!
Hellerad: Newcastle 1995/6 - Promising lead disappears without trace. He would have LOVED it if Argentina had drawn with Germany last night... LOVED it!
Billybeeru: Chelsea 1998/9 - Confident, high scoring and glamourous but lacked that longevity to really stick it out.
fatshark: Charlton 2002/3 - Midtable but nothing if not consistent with correct results (just not enough spot-ons to really contend) and somewhat likeable with a strong South African influence.
Kiwi: Bolton 2001/2 - Great start, lead the inaugural table. Fell away sharply but recovered in time to stay up on Thurvival Thursday.
Bungle: Sunderland 2005/6 - You actually ended up with less points from 64 games than Deloodid did from 48... plus you just weren't there half the time, just making up the numbers! Tactically inept, just shocking mate..... boo! hiss!
Deloodid: West Ham 2002/3 - A tad unlucky at times and never truly deserved relegation in my opinion.
notnever: Wigan 2012/13 - Devil may care attitude ultimately proved to be the downfall. Forget the FA Cup.
Alan Stubbs: Derby 2007/8 - Three words.... Poor. Language. Removed. Coincidentally Stubbsy was in that Derby team wasn't he? Maybe it was a sign!
