Last evening...on mobile phone (paraphrased):

Me (Regional Director): I have the boxes of stamps to deliver to you.

Male church friend: Sure, just drop them through our mail box.

Me (Regional Director): I have an SUV full, as I explained to Mrs. church friend.

Male church friend: Really? I will ask the wife...(Interrupted).

Mrs. church friend.: (Grabs phone). No problem bring them over.

I arrive:

Male church friend is assisting loading boxes of stamps from my SUV to his truck: (Laughing), I cannot believe what I said about putting the stamps through our mail box.

Dr. Russell Norman Murray: Regional Director, British Columbia and Yukon, mediator, lecturer, scholar, and delivery boy (and I like it).

Fixing my final kicktipp statistics: July 14

July 14, 2018: The Hindu

Reviewing my statistics this Saturday morning, I realized looking at the kicktipp website that some of my statistics needed to be revised.

I am not certain if the website made changes or not. So, I have edited previous kicktipp entries.

With clarifications, I can write that with only the final match remaining:

I picked 7/8 correct group winners.

I picked Germany, incorrectly as World Cup winner, but have picked France since Germany's first match.

I have picked 8 correct scores.

I have picked 6 correct goal differences

I have picked 40/63 correct results, which is .6349 winning percentage and 63%.

If I am in error and Croatia wins the World Cup tomorrow, I will sit at 40/64, .625 and 63%

If I am in correct and France wins the World Cup tomorrow, I will sit at 41/64, .640 and 64%.

This is the last kicktipp entry for this World Cup, as I will update my football results pages on Sunday, God willing. Overall, I am pleased with the correct results, not so much with the correct scores and correct goal differences. But, I scored 45% with a similar system of choosing W1 W2, D, with Euro 2016 and this percentage of correct results is a considerable improvement! I still consider the Euro 2016 a good score within that system which was not identical to kicktipp. I had three results to choose from each match, so 45% is a good score.

Kicktipp July 11: Too bad England, but I am at sixty-five percent



I am at .650% and 65%.

Again lacking that skill and finish to win it all, but still a great country. I am 7/8 and .875 and 88% for choosing the correct group winners. Sadly, I switched from France to Germany for Champion and paid the price...

Too bad. Again with England still lacking that skill and finish to win it all, but still a great country.
