Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie,That's Shakespeare, using All's Well That Ends Well to remind our intrepid predoers that it's their fault that they're doing rubbish.
Which we ascribe to heaven: the fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull
Portugal-Morocco went largely according to form (Ronaldo scored, Portugal won) but many over-egged how many the largely dour Portugal team would bother to score. Indeed, only Benno saw the Mediterranean catenacchio for what it was and took home the only OCHO of the tie.
Latecomer Barlow played his joker for 12 points, vaulting him up the standings significantly. We caught up with him for a brief chat.
Predoworld braced itself for a points bonanza ahead of the Uruguay-Saudi Arabia tie, with no fewer than 9 jokers played on largely the same outcome - Uruguay to spank the underdogs from the Gulf without conceding, and register goals for Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. Predos of 5-0 and 6-0 were dropped.
Some of the jokers seemed tactical, with lead group players clustered around the same approximate outcomes, a possible early act of desperation from a field that has not provided a confident and dominating predoer.
The result - 1-0 to Uruguay, with a Luis Suarez goal, saw big points bonanzas for many without any maximal use of jokers. Bryan, Neil Oted, Ando, and Ollu scored 12, pulling the latter from the foot of the table.
Not many believed in Iran's chances against Spain, with only Brendan predicting anything other than a Spanish victory. This proved unfortunate but ultimately unwise.
