I'm the one who's surprised! Now if Germany wins the world cup, I will get 8 points more than you will (4 if they reach the final), and if Germany doesn't, someone else will get a considerable advantage, and maybe win.
Edit: Perhaps, by changing to Germany, you have spelt your own doom :biggrin:

Edit2: I mean 6 not 8, sorry.

What do you guys think for double the amount of points for the matches of the round of 16 and later?

Fine by me. Would be exciting :smile:.

That can give a chance to the people who are way below in the rank, and make the competition more exciting, but it might be unfair for DennisN.

Even though he says this :smile:

Or it might help DennisN get even more points!

Given my low standing in the group stage, I'm all for it!

I had a similar slow start 4 years ago. I consistently underestimated the scoring in the group stage. I eventually won based on doing very well in the knockout stage. My only saving grace last time around was that we missed the first few days of the group stages. We didn't do that this time. DennisN's lead is quite formidable.


BTW, just to make it clear, the scoring in the knockout stage is based on the score at the end of regulation time if there's a clear winner after 90 minutes+stoppage time, or the score at the end of extra time if the regulation time score is a tie. A game that is tied at the end of extra time is a tie. What happens during the penalty kicks to determine which team advances doesn't count as far as PF World Cup Futbol League is concerned.

Note that this how FIFA determines the final score of these games. Those games that remain tied after the end of 90+30 minutes are officially scored as ties. The kicks from the mark just determine which team advances (or which team wins the trophy).

Yes, it's a little bit unfair, but to me it's the excitement (and chance) of the competition in itself that is fun, so I'm perfectly fine with doubling the points for matches like suggested.

Exactly. I WANT MORE POINTS!
