Comments duly noted and amended in the second edition.

I always get those two confused.

Er, sorry about getting it so late. I just haven't had my mind on things lately. Anyway it isn't really good quality its a pretty big file (18mb) so I wouldn't really suggest watching it unless you really want to. I'm trying my best to improve video quality, the next match should be of better quality if I can figure out what I'm doing. >_<

Anyway heres the results for those who decide NOT to watch the match. I'm afraid I can only do one tonight, the rest seven will be up tomorrow with a lot of random write-ups. (Blame the after-exam partying for not having it up till now)!

Mirkwood (1)0 - 0(4) Valimar
Valimar win 4-1 on penalties.

Valimar - Goal! (1-0)
Mirkwood - Saved! (1-0)
Valimar - Goal! (2-0)
Mirkwood - Saved! (2-0)
Valimar - Goal! (3-0)
Mirkwood - Goal! (3-1)
Valimar - Goal! (4-1)

Saucey! Saucey! Saucey! it doesn't matter who scoed the penalties. They don't count towards the overall goal tally because they're scoed when the ball is out of play. Only a penalty within normal (or extra time) counts as a goal! But if you still want a list I guess I could make one for you!

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-26-2005, 11:42 AM

Oh, I thought that they counted. Fair enough then, no need to give the scorers.

Btw, it occurred to me that we are not in the quarter-finals, but round 2. The quarter-finals are the next round, when we are down to 8 teams.

It is the Quarter-Finals. The tournament is divided into two halves. A left half and a right half, each follow their own pattern from QF, SF, F and then the actual Finals with the two second placed teams in each half playing off for third place. So this is indeed the Quarter-Finals. Didn't I post a link with the World Cup Format?

Not according to this list of World Cup formats. Look at the format for the 1998, 2002 and 2006 tournaments, which give it as follows:

Eight groups of four teams (top two in each group qualify for the knock-out stage in the second
round)
- Second round (knock-out stage, winners proceed to quarter-finals - in a case of a draw after extra
time penalty shoot-outs will used to decide)
- Quarter-finals (knock-out stage)
- Semi-finals
- Third-place play-off
- Final

According to this, we are in the Second Round, in which the winners proceed to the Quarter-Finals.
