Who fancies a little competition then? With the World Cup kicking off in a matter of days i've decided to run a forum based sweepstake.
However, this won't be your average money in the pot type sweepstake, we'll do something a little different, hardcore related which will no doubt be more fun :)
Here's how it'll work:
- PM me right away if you wan't to get involved & i'll add you to the list. *DEADLINE REACHED*
- Each person will be allocated a minimum of 2 teams each (possibly more depending on how many enter).
- The member lucky enough to win will receive Hardcore related presents from everyone involved (ie Albums, Vinyl's, Tape Packs, possibly a treasured lock of Scott Browns hair, etc etc).
Please DO NOT get involved if all you're willing to offer is a smelly old sock you wore to a rave back in the mid 90's. Put some effort in people, make it memorable, different & worthy of winning the competition. Give what you would like to receive (unless your names Jay. This is a family friendly comp!).
- I'd planned to let everyone take it in turns to select a team however! we're cutting if far to close & this could be a lengthy process! Instead (being a massive football fan) i've halfed all the World Cup teams into 2 pots, a "top team pot" & an "average team pot".
I will then let my girlfriend pick teams from each pot. The order the teams are chosen will depend on the order I receive your entry PM's so the sooner you enter the better!
For example, the first person to enter the comp (which just so happens to be Olly Elipton) will have their top team selected from "top team pot" & then immediately after have their average team selected from the "average team pot", then the second person to enter will have both their teams picked, & so on...
Again, this entirely depends on how many people enter *MAX ENTRANTS 8*. Once all entrants have received their 2 teams & providing there are enough teams left for everyone to receive a 3rd, I will combine all remaining teams from both pots into a "final pot" and the final teams will be selected, again starting with Olly & progressing through the order from before. If there aren't enough teams to do this then we'll just have to leave them out. In fairness I will have my teams selected last. There may well be enough teams left to give out a 4th team. If this is the case the original pots won't be combined & everyone will receive another "top team" & another "average team", it's hard to call until all entries are received.
Members involved so far (in order of PM's received):
- Olly Elipton
- DMS
- Shades
- Jay
- Daniel Seven
- latininxtc
- Ken Masters
- Triquatra
*MAX ENTRANTS 8*

This is going to be fun!
Get involved peeps :-)

Just a note - Switzerland are probably in the wrong pool. They're ranked 6th in the world.

Nice one Jay :)
..& you may be right, the fifa rankings are clear in some ways but way off in others. I decided to make an educated decision on what I felt were the top teams but by all means, if there are any teams that people reckon could be swapped then let me know & we'll sort something out :)
_Jay_
Ha! I realised I sounded like a bit of a douche after I read that back, sorry.
I'm not especially bothered - just remembered seeing the rankings the other day and was surprised to see Switzerland in 6th.

Well the way I look at it, there's no team in the average pot that I'd rather have over any team in the top pot. Everyone's opinion will be different but for the sake of starting the comp on Wednesday I think this is fair :)
djDMS
I trust your judgment mate, fcuk the haters! ;-)

The Croats always put up a good fight but Belgium are certainly a strong teams (as we Scots found out the hard way in qualifying!)
Anyone else have any input on this?

Right, we have 7 entrants so far & there's no way we're reaching 16 before midnight tonight. I've decided to limit the max number of entrants to 8, meaning that everyone will receive 2 top teams & 2 average teams. It'll give everyone a better chance at winning & guarantees that someone will win :)
So! who's going to be our 8th and final entrant?
As soon as the final member get's involved, me & my good lady can start drawing the teams....

That's it then! The 8 entrants are assembled. Team update coming to the original post asap...
Ken Masters
The teams have been picked & the fun can begin!
First up! DMS's Brazil against Jay's Croatia, you just couldn't make it up...
I love it how Triquatra swaggers in at the end & picks up the favourites!

Not the first time I've been shafted by a Japanese bloke infront of a big crowd, either.
latininxtc
lol @ robbed. Brazil gave you a goal, and yes that penalty shot was shady. But take those away, Croatia would have left the game 0-2.
Elipton
I was shocked to see Espana get mauled like that. Nederlands are on it this year!
That amazing RVP goal has to be goal of the tournament! Cant see anything beating the sheer creativity of it! The Spanish looked outclassed everywhere on the pitch. Just gutted they're in my home sweepstake..
latininxtc
Yea they were given quite the beatdown, but it's still early in the World Cup and anything can change. Hell Germany the past world cups have always been one of the highest scorers, yet they haven fallen short where it counted the most.
Still, respect to the Dutch they did an incredible job.
Ken Masters
Yeah that was quite a hammering! I'm sure Spain will bounce back & get out the group but that was a wake up call & the pressures on, the Dutch are out for revenge!
You usually find its the teams that gradually find their feet in the tournament that go the distance, you don't really want to be putting in final winning performances like that in the first game!
Elipton
spain lost to Switzerland 4 years ago!
Claxton
Ahh shoot. how did I miss this thread!!
Shades
well as starts go....
i think jay is off to a flying one
latininxtc
So far DMS, Jay, Daniel Seven and I have a win.
Ellipton, Jay, Daniel Seven and Triquatra have a loss.
With my Costa Rica playing Uruguay today, I might be having a loss today lol.
Elipton
I'm about to have two losses once Colombia finish their rout of the Greek

Ken Masters

so they did, well remembered! That was quite a shock & look how things turned out. Really looking forward to the next Spain match now...
latininxtc
I'm shocked! Costa Rica Wins over Uruguay, meaning I'm 2-0 so far! Could Mexico pull an upset over Brazil to give me a 4th win on Tuesday? Would be truly more shocked if it happened.
Elipton
Costa Rica either makes things much easier, or much harder for England. Suddenly we have 4 teams chasing qualification from to the knock out rounds. Costa Rica look formidable
have to lol at england getting beat...rooney is pish dunno why hodgeson picked him i wouldn't have had him on the bench :)

Ken Masters
The England group really is all to play for now, for England or Uruguay to stand a chance of getting through they need a win, shaping up to be quite a match!
Elipton
I'd rather save myself the disappointment and bad mood andnotbwatch england again. The media says we were encouraging.. What good is possession when every player is standing still?? We let Italy play again and paid for it.
Rooney is ****ing abysmal everywhere on the pitch. His inability and ego surfaced again. Gerrard is shit at free kicks. Never seen him take a good one to be honest.. Its just rubbish, but everyone is saying we did well... Im in dismay.
wong
F*ck rooney off for lambert. F*ck welbeck off for lallana, and f*ck henderson off for barkley and i will be happy :)

I give Welbeck a lot of stick, but he put in a good shift. The only player on the pitch that chased down Italian defenders and cut down on their time allowed on their ball. He made some good movements and looked lively. I was also impressed by Henderson, so I think we should dispatch with the last of the avant garde. Get rid of Gerrard and Rooney.

Send Gerrard to Scotland, we'll have him. I dont think there's many teams who wouldn't!
Its far from over! There's always upsets, ALWAYS. So long as the Italian beat Costa Rica you'll be alright I reckon. If Costa Rica beat Uruguay then there's no reason why you lot cant aswell.
Its an interesting & open group, the group of death just got that bit more venomous!
Ken Masters
I cant say I understand the thinking behind Roy playing Rooney on the left. If he feels there's better players suited to his position then he has to drop him for atleast the first game to try it out, make him keen for playing the second match.
To have moved him from left, to right, to centre over the course of one match is ridiculous, play everyone to their strengths. It appears he's still undecided which could be a costly mistake. This should have all been figured out long ago, isn't that what the warm up games are for?
Elipton
Playing him in any position won't make him start scoring sitters or kicking a corner ONTO the pitch. His England career needs to be over..
latininxtc
So what a game that was between Germany and Portugal. I have always hated how dirty and aggressive Germany has played the game, and I hope that they fail the closer they get to the final like they've been doing the past 5 World Cups.
wong
I quite like germany myself
Ken Masters
well well, no doubt a few disappointed members today. I'm disappointed as well, not only because my only hope of winning this are now with France but because now i'm living in England i'd hoped the world cup buzz would have lasted longer than this!

With a couple of exceptions, the teams in the Americas have been playing rather well, while there's a good number of top European teams struggling. My Costa Rica is doing much better than I would have ever thought. I think they said this is the 1st time in WC history that they're qualified for the top 16.
The US beat Ghana, which I personally never saw coming. Mexico has won a game, and surprisingly had a draw with Brazil, Columbia and Chile have qualified. Argentina is looking strong as well.

ooooo it's all kicking off now :P
Ken Masters
Well well, group stages over & we've had it all, tension, drama & even a bite !
Now knowing all the teams that little better, who do you reckon is looking good for it?
My France have been surprisingly decent but not sure they have what it takes to win.
_Jay_
Let's have a think. Holland are quite good generally but capable of beating anyone with Van Persie and Roben playing the way they are.
Argentina have won all three games despite not looking amazing. Maybe they'll start playing better now? Maybe they'll stay the same-way and Messi will carry them to the semi's?
Colombia have been pretty impressive as an outside chance.
djDMS
Jay just wrote more or less what i was going to say.
Still not convinced by Brazil, the game with Chile could be interesting. Germany look like they have more to offer. France look like they could score 10 goals a game.
Few surprises in the last 16 but nobody else has impressed me much
Ken Masters
Yeah Brazil & Argentina haven't been all that impressive yet despite relatively easy groups, but it's crunch time now, they'll need to step it up a notch!
How are we all looking now then....
Members & Teams:
Olly Elipton - Germany, Ivory Coast, Australia & Greece.
DMS - Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador & Switzerland.
Shades - Portugal, USA, Algeria & Ghana.
Jay - Croatia, Netherlands, Iran & Japan.
Daniel Seven - Chile, Uruguay, Belgium & Cameroon.

FIXTURES:
Brazil v Chile - (DMS Vs Daniel Seven)
Colombia v Uruguay - (Triquatra Vs Daniel Seven)
Netherlands v Mexico - (Jay Vs Latininxtc)
Costa Rica v Greece - (Latininxtc Vs Olly Elipton)
France v Nigeria - (Ken Masters Vs Ken Masters) :(
Germany v Algeria - (Olly Elipton Vs Shades)
Argentina v Switzerland - (DMS Vs DMS) :P
Belgium v USA - (Daniel Seven Vs Shades)
Ken Masters
It's good to see everyone still in with a shout of winning. I'd say Mr Seven is looking good for it as things stand, 3 teams left playing in separate matches. DMS is also looking good, set to lose a team in this round but guaranteed to see the quarter finals.
Surprisingly Triquatra is now looking likely to be the first to leave us after starting with some strong teams.
don_simon3000
hmmm.... so far i have watched 1/2 game (cant even remember which un) then i watched usa/portugal and today mexico/netherlands.... the rest i av nt seen. shows how little i care about soccer these days... weird.... i remember 4 years ago i did not miss a single game.
djDMS
So far in the last 16...
Lucky Brazil, lucky Holland, impressive Colombia.
On a general note, best World cup I've seen in ages.

the fact that at this stage brazil and the netherlands struggled for their wins shows they are not improving. I don't believe they will take the title this year, perhaps brazil but not netherlands.
My mexico is gone, no surprise there, I think Costa Rica will move forward because they're playing greece of all people. US looks like they have a win, but either way they will get slaughtered next game by more than likely argentina.
Ken Masters
Agreed, it's been a crackin' world cup, & as expected these knockout matches have taken things to another level. I was genuinely on the edge of my seat for that Brazil penalty shootout. The pressure was unreal!
Another day down & another couple of teams out, we're all still involved though which is good to see. I thought Jay was goin to be the first out but he's hanging on in there & found himself in a very winnable quarter final!

You done yourselves proud! Outstanding effort but unfortunately there's only so far grit & determination will get you. Underdog upsets always happen in the group stages but real quality shines through at this point, provided by guys who can turn a match with the slightest of chances in the blink of an eye.
Is it time for some more football again? I'm getting withdrawl symptoms & these recorded matches just ain't cutting it anymore.

2 in the Semi's for me.

Latininxtc's Costa Rica were heroic last night! The match started slow but boy did it finish with some drama. This 6am start was a little more painful than normal but was worth it considering we've nearly reached the end :(
& then there were 4.....
Olly, Jay & Dean do battle with semi's, I MEAN *IN THE SEMI'S!
Dean, your looking strong with 2 teams mate but I reckon you'll need the 2 to have any chance of winning this, the Germans are looking good for it...

Yep, had my eye on Germany right from the start. Just need both of my teams in the final, don't care which one wins! :-P

I was actually so angry that Ozil missed the potential 8th and then Germany conceded.
It's still a humiliation, though, I suppose. A little soured!

That didn't go to plan!

Yes Argentina!!!!!
Man the Argentine goalie was just brilliant! Now all they need to do is beat Doucheland and they've got this! It will be a nasty battle, but hopefully they can send those Germans back home crying.

Its almost time for Olly & Dean to step up & do battle.
One showered in gifts, the other showered in shame, despair, heartache, self loathing. Ok that's maybe a bit far but either way they'll be a rather pissed.
I'd have to say put your money on those pesky Germans (which I will be), however if we've learned anything from this world cup its expect the unexpected!
aw man, is it almost over already? :( !!
Ken Masters
Good luck chaps! May the best man win...
don_simon3000
so after my initial pick brazil was out rather early, i did 2 other picks for the 2 last games yesterday, predicted the netherlands to get p3 and say ger will win 2:1 against arg.

Best team won.
Well played Olly.

What a World Cup!
What a game too. This World Cup has proven beyond doubt that 0-0 draws can be amazing games to watch. Schweinsteiger might just be my hero now haha!
I'll message each of you the address for my goodies! I'm ecstatic that I can prize something free from Steve's reluctant grasp. Sorry mate!

wait, we're supposed to give you shit???

I didn't join this sweepstake b/c I actually wanted to be a part of it lol. Ken just needed some extra ppl or else this wasn't happening so I just said sure whatever.
you ain't gettin shit from me Olly! No wait, I'll just give you exactly that, shit! ;)
Elipton
sour grapes?
I doubt you'd have been so quick to play down the bet had your team won ;)

Two signed copies? Well that's not really all that special now is it?
clearly steveybaby must have something very very special up his sleeve then, that's why he's super grumpy? :P

Nice one mate.
Overall was a great World Cup, Germany were deserved winners of the tournament, so fair play to them. All other teams that reached the later stages were heavily reliant on certain individual players. Look what happened to Brazil after losing Neymar and Silva. Germany looked the best all round team from the games I seen at least.

What an amazing gift that is! Love Bonkers 12.

I would have liked to get in on this one, but I don't think I could part with my signed copy of Bonkers 7!
In fact, I don't think I could part with any of my copies.

Olly have you not been paying attention to this guy's posts? He is amazing.
djDMS
No wonder there's so many copies of Bonkers 7 left, it was shite.
_Jay_
Dean you are turning into the Jack Dee of this forum.
Love it.
Elipton
I don't come on here much man, but I have no idea how he has so many Bonkers 7's. Was he part of React?
_Jay_
His post here might explain it:

Oneday Robbie Coltrane would see me collecting boxes from Macauly Culkin and recognise me/try and track me back down.
I don't want to give too much of the storyline away, but basically it ends with everybody making a new bonkers 7 album.
parcel is on it's way....... addressed to Oliptifluxx lol

Olly, gonna hopefully sort out a PACKAGE for you today. Try post it early next week.

Sorry lads, been a busy week :D I received a very disturbing postcard from Rowan along with two amazing CD's, Bonkers 12 from Steve via an overzealous Amazon, and another that's at the Post Office waiting for me to pick it up (day job gets in the way)!
Thanks a million guys :) Very cool selection so far

It'll be worth absolute pennies oneday!! ;)

Holy moly man! Thanks! There are CDs I never knew even existed. This Brisk software certainly looks interesting. Hopefully I can get it working and have a snoop!
This made me laugh - mostly because the postman had to rewrite it on a postal form!
Shades
open the files on the cd & rip golden old skool samples ;)
should be in brisk 44hz
the software is obsolete lol

I'm guessing that's the Zero-G software/sample pack that brisk did?

It's a Dancesoft Studio Master CD-Rom. Looks as though the company has long since been gone
Triquatra
yarp, looks like it, or another version also comes with a selection of samples taken from Norman Cook's Skip To my loops, which is also Zero G too!
the dougal & brisk cd samples & loops are identical lol
that's naughty they are suggesting it's 2 differnt sets of samples
i had both here which is why i decided to send one :)
Triquatra
Hehe, that is a bit naughty!

How do you know it doesn't have a stamp? Here in the US if it doesn't have postage, it's sent back to the sender

lol that's messed up. The person who sent it without postage, not the system. I think that's a better system.
Triquatra
cue everyone sending Olly post without paying the postage ;)
