OK, to sum up this page...

You have 2 groups, round robin games, 2 pts for a W, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss.

Top 2 in each group move on to final group, same round robin format.

But, instead of playing the team from your group again, the result of that group stage game is counted towards the final group.

So, you only have to play each of the teams from the other group, in the US's case, USSR and Finland. Those 2 wins, added to a tie in the group stage w/ Sweden, equals 5 points and a gold medal.
dang, this is always one of the things I know that other people don't

I feel like something has been stolen from me now that slightly more people know it

why do you feel bad? the only thing i remembered about the heidi game was the jets and the raiders, everything else was a semi-educated (if bad) guess.

(don't i get 1 point for the jets?)

edit: I just looked at what I sent.... DOH! I forgot to c/p the last line! (i put it all on a txt file before sending it over)

You get 2 points for Jets/Raiders, plus probably at least a half if you were close on any of the other things

The way I score most quizzes, I usually send PMs if someone misses a question...this one I didn't...not a biggie

Dang, I should have gotten full points for Hand of God.

Also, Tom1975 seems to have gotten full credit on that one, has he turned the page on his soccer hating ways?

Amazing quiz. I did better than I thought I would. Definitely run another one . . . And ban True North from it (This is as bad as running a movie quiz and allowing Legend in it.)

Thanks for running Legend!

I got somewhat lucky on that one. I knew it was Argentina-England and it was in the 1986 World Cup. I was fairly sure that '86 cup was played in Mexico so I guessed the only stadium in Mexico I knew of, which turned out to be right. I had no clue on the final score so I went with 2-1 since that seems like a fairly common soccer score.
