So Boddington steers his Portugal team to the semis, this despite losing his first two games ! His 33/1 odds at the start are looking a bargain and of course Portugal won the 2014 Fiso WC !
He comes up against Jester (20/1), managing the Swiss to a 100% record so far, though worth noting Boddington, the only inexperienced player of my games left, has the top score (ie. deadly at pens !)
In the other half of the draw, Sportsmeister's Mexican's fight on. He has only lost once and now comes up against, the 6/1 favourite before the off, Arabian Knight, the WC holder. Denmark have started slowly but performed best of all in the quarters, it's going to be tightly fought out...
New Rules for Semi-Finals & Final
I want the score and first scorer as usual, but..
in addition I would like you to nominate one player who we will call the "bad boy".
The scoring will be different as well:
Points:
Correct result = 1 point
Correct score (includes 1 points for result) = 3 points
First goal-scorer = 2 points
Each goal scored by this player (other than 1st goal) = 1 point
"Bad Boy" booking = 1 point
"Bad Boy" red card = 3 points
Possible total per game is 3 + 2 + 3 (+ 1 for every extra goal)
Extra time counts for 'bad boy' and any goals scored, (not shoot-out goals).
