The Allocation Pool

My shares of U(k)bekistan are almost worthless. Crash.

Off to a good start

New feature alert....you ask and you receive. I have added the ability to click into anyone on the Leaderboard to see their ticket. So you can see what wisdom or folly has been made!

Additionally, there is now a calculator for Max Possible Points that a player can potentially earn. Who are the early hitters vs those with the ability to climb in later rounds???

You need a proper job 😜

Nonesense young man!!!!

Anyone feeling nervous???

I still have bad memories of when the US got "Ghana'd" in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. I think England fans are fortunate that they get to walk away from this one knowing it was just a draw.

The writing was on the wall at half time, I went to bed, it was a good call!

ERROR ALERT: don't blame me, blame claude. I was looking at the total max point calc and there is no way that is being calculated correctly. So I challeneged our benevlent coding AI who explained that until the round of 32 is set, he has trouble calculating things accurately. :-)

Or blame Canada!

Which team has had the best point return per share?

Wended to see next to the names how many places one has moved up or down after each game day

I have a feeling that the referee is rigged.. hopp Schwitz!

paulhens....just eye balling it, I am guessing it is Cape Verde. 20k points, only 196 shares....I will see if i can build that tomorrow and add a "best value" table somewhere

Sorry Canada...not sorry!

alex getting 17k points for south africa on 150 shares to lead the board has to be the #1 pick so far.

Still alive!!

Congrats to Ecuador!!!

If you click on the tab “Points by Team” you will also see now the best valued teams by order…most points per share. So everyone can lament not adding more

Web they are side by side. mobile you have to scroll down. Cape Verde still #1

Go Iran, perhaps they were letting off firework's, not firing missiles, or for lack of actual fireworks they let off what they had, oh that means firing missiles 🤓

I thought had also qualified but I not quite yet , I think they still have a chance as a best 3rd place ??

I guess a last minute goal disallowed, was it var or govt intervention?

Argentina got a dream bracket to the semis…

Sad the chance of Ronaldo/Messi is gone

Nostradamus Tony, sees 0-0 and Cape Verde win on penalties, what a dream that would be!!

Canada gets those extra points for being so nice!

Yah…Claude failed me again. I think he knew I own 20% so allocated wayyyy to many points to Canada win. Will correct that later today. Ignore leaderboard for now

Oh my, VW to lay off 100,000 jobs, not the worst news in Germany, didn’t expect that this morning.

And the Dutch too, Europe is in decline!!

I

I suggest that if Cabo Verde beats ARG, whoever picked Cabo Verde is automatically granted 1M points. Also, Vozinha to be the King of Brasil 😂

Sooo close yet so far away!

Things getting a little spicy in Mexico!!!

Don’t cry for me Argentina!!!

Nice comeback!!

Looks like Alex takes the trophy. Congrats.

what are we feeling for the final????

I hope I'm wrong...but after watching the 3rd place game, today might be 0-0 after 90 minutes.

What a final! Argentina pulled a Switzerland. Thanks everyone for playing and congrats to Alex!!!
