The world cup is happening this year and I thought it would be fun to create a little messy game for it. It works like this pick a country that will battle for your fate. If your team is knocked out of the tournament you will be facing the messy consequences of their failure. When knocked off you will take a pie for each goal scored against them but with the added twist that it's ALL the goals scored against them in the tournament so the longer your team is in the more likely you are to get a high pie count. You will also get slimed in the colors of the team that elimates you which means if your team really sucks and goes out in the group stage you will be facing a lot of slime as two teams will be eliminating you and you will get slimed in both team's colors.

You are free to join but still get any pies that would have been earned for previous games if you get knocked out.

Of course, many thanks. In that case I'll take South Korea!
South Korea bites the dust and if my nath is right that means Wsmnewbie gets EIGHT pies from Dbl999 and a sliding in Brazil's colors tough break there.

Wow, eight pies?? That really is a lot. And Brazil's colours are, what, yellow and green? Ewwww.
Think I'm far too late for this having missed the thread.
I did however try to convince my wife to have a bet with me on the knockout games with a pie for the loser of each (with 16 pies on offer), but she's wasn't playing. Was happy to if she would stay clean tho, so I picked my winners for the last 16 games & thought I was pretty safe with my choices. She's excited to claim her winnings for the Spain-Morocco game!!!
