WORLD CUP PREDOS DAY 9 & 10

Sorry, I'm late. Spent all of day 9 in court. Had to get free of this stupid Dettol sponsorship. They were ruining the purity of the predo game and I don't care if the solicitor fees will keep me from retirement until I'm 82. Dettol, you're a terrible disinfectant, and I will rid all 168 bottles you sent me by way of a bonfire.

no I do NOT work at the court
this was my day outfit


Day 9 was a mostly solid affair with slight position changes. However, Cotty Sr. leapt up the table with a brutal DOUBLE OCHO on a well-played Brazil 2-0 (Neymar) joker. Agile and deliberative prediction play at its very best.

Also, a 33rd entrant was accepted into competition. After consulting the Predomanual and convening a zero hour meeting, it has been decided that based on previous performances and an assessement of the field that HAZEL will start on 74 points.

At the close of play, Bren and Tom H led the field on 94 points but the real victor was PREDO THOMAS, ridding the predoworld of a frankly dreadful company.

I got a brief word from D FOX, who has slowly insinuated himself into the top five:

PREDO: Predo here. You've made the top 5 when the bookies had you as a 5/1 contender for relegation. Can you keep this performance up? 

D FOX and friend

D FOX: Am flabbergasted! But understand it's a game of two halves (plus extra time, plus penalties)? More than enough time to turn to shite!

Onto day 10 of World Cup Predo! Belgium-Tunisia was a riot of goals and nearly everybody came away with a points bounty. There were no OCHOs, but who would be brave enough to pick 5-2?

Korea Rep.-Mexico went more according to the low-scoring traditions, with Hernandez and Son hauling in the fish of points with the net of predos. Six OCHOs were scored by Ando, Raven, Day, Bren, Rob, and Jude. Bren snuck back into the lead that he gained early and appeared to surrender for a long stretch.

I spoke to Bren, who maintained the strong stance he offered at the outset of the competition:



The drama of Germany-Sweden saw the last minute MANNSCHAFT goal push points back into the hands of those who went with the favourites and away from brave types like myself who plumped for a draw. It's been a tough week and this court case is draining me. But I fight for PREDOS.
