"There was a problem * The password is incorrect. (Error #109)"

something's fucked up!

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/02/10 06:46 PM

Password should be lower-case

Posted By: Blibbleblabble

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/02/10 08:37 PM

Try uppercase "C". I might have put it wrong on here.

I edited the original post, the password should be Corleone, so let me know if that works.

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/02/10 10:28 PM

well you made me think I was crazy BL but in fact the actual password is "corleone" with everything lower case not "Corleone" like we've used before

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/02/10 10:46 PM

Ah, okay, I thought I set it with a capital C. Sorry for the confusion!

I'm in. So, is picking the U.S. all the way an awful idea?

Posted By: Tony Mosrite

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/05/10 05:55 AM

yes, all the way it is

but your team is always getting better and can even advance to the semifinals if they're able to upset Germany or Argentina.

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/05/10 06:30 AM

I think it's funny how so many countries go into the world cup with the expectation of not winning, but they are happy to advance further than they have in years past.

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/07/10 01:31 PM

Englands problem is the other way. The whole country goes football mad and when we get beat in the quarter finals everyone goes into mourning

That may just be the cynical half Scottish side of me speaking. The half Scottish side which doesn't have a team in the world Cup. Go England!!!! We can win it

Oh that's you? I thought Kick My Balls was Capo

Who's he then?

Posted By: Blibbleblabble

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/21/10 05:07 AM

Seems to me like the points should be higher for guessing a correct score. 2 points for picking the winner and 1 for the score seems lopsided when the score is harder to predict.

Although the scoring gets interesting in the knockout rounds.

Posted By: Tony Mosrite

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/21/10 02:43 PM

yeah I didn't understand that reasoning. if someone told me it's because getting the score right is a fluke I would agree, though.

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/24/10 08:38 PM

My team was called Stately Buck Mulligan, but I haven't predicted anything since the start, figuring I wouldn't enjoy the tournament itself if I invested any serious effort in a fantasy game.

Sorry.

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 06/28/10 04:51 AM

I can't predict a score to save my life... otherwise I'd still be in it. But, there's a ways to go and points increase, so, we'll see...

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 07/06/10 08:40 PM

Its going to be a tight finish thats for sure..

Well, you had 3 more lucky guesses (I mean, correct scores), so I suppose you should be ahead. But we're tied for 6th, not 4th/5th.

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 07/13/10 02:42 PM

Thanks guys!

This is only the second time I participated in a fantasy game, so I'm scoring 1 out of 2

See you all for the Euro 2012 fantasy game

Re: Yahoo! Fantasy World Cup - 07/13/10 03:42 PM

4th?! Not too shabby for a North American.
