Forecast Fifties: Week 33

[Archer]

Fixtures being played on Saturday 29th March ​

WEEK 32 REVIEW
Another international week farts its way back where it came from, but it was pretty successful for us across the board, with only the bonkers six-goal thriller in Valencia scuppering the lot. France did what they had to do against Croatia and gave @Archer the only 15 of the round, but all of us picked up points. The 3-3 in Dortmund caught almost everyone out, with a 95th minute penalty snatching points from the majority.

@JamesL and @Gabriel got the Ireland 2-1 win spot on (9 each), while @es1 and @holbeach ref became the only lost points of the weekend fancying an Italian win in Dublin. Denmark took Portugal to ET before crumbling and keeping everyone happy apart from @Pwizardo, and then came the Iberian madness.

In the bonus game, a West Ham win in the early WSL game put the boot into most of the accumulators, and then Leicester survived a Brighton fightback, and when the dust settled it was only @one who came away with his conservative (small 'c') three-fold for 9 points.

James and One put the pressure on Wizzy who had a bit of a wobble, just the eight points between the top three now. Archer and ES1 swap places with their eyes on sneaking onto the podium, while @OldNavyRef returns from life on the ocean waves to (keel)haul himself up from Davy Jones' locker ahoy ye mateys... but can he harpoon Josh onto deck and save himself from relegation to the VolleyballVoices Umpire Message Boards? Eight weeks to go! (I think.)

How about 3 bonus bonus points if all 3 bonuses correct in round 33? To be consistent with your 3s theme.
The middle one would be very tough.

 

[Archer]

Yeah, go on then!

research

Ah, this is where I'm going wrong!

 

[RefereeX]

Ah, this is where I'm going wrong!

By that, I meant I'm assuming somewhere in the world there is a team that are 1/100 odds to win their match and very likely to win 12-0, but I haven't got the time to find it
