eddie Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Just a quick note about first goal scorers - there are a few 'common' names (Rodriguez for a start - there are 5 of them across the 32 squads) with subtle accent variations. Similarly, there are a few where one squad has 2 players of the surname. Basically I'm going to try to run a Vlookup an hour or so before the first game of each day to check whether I can identify a match for all the FGS selections against my master list (yes, I HAVE entered all 32 bloody squads into the master workbook). Any which don't match exactly but I can see an obvious spelling mistake (could be yours, could be mine) I will change. Any where I can't spot the error (perhaps I've missed a squad change from this week) then I will publish a list. There's also 'funnies' like Mikel John Obi / John Obi Mikel. On the official list his name is Obi. That's what I've used, but it should be easy for me to spot those. On to the blooming South Korean squad. In order to avoid confusion (because they are phonetic representations), please use the whole name from the following list (or better still, hope they never score first): Jung Sung-ryong Kim Chang-soo Yun Suk-young Kwak Tae-hwi Kim Young-gwon Hwang Seok-ho Kim Bo-kyung Ha Dae-sung Son Heung-min Park Chu-young Lee Keun-ho Lee Yong Koo Ja-cheol Han Kook-young Park Jong-woo Ki Sung-yuen Lee Chung-yong Kim Shin-wook Ji Dong-won Hong Jeong-ho Kim Seung-gyu Park Joo-ho Lee Bum-young Forgot to add: Please leave off ALL accents, umlauts etc when adding your FGS because I'm using an automated system for name matching.

eddie Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 so do you just want the surname not full name? For the Koreans, the full name please. Fore everyone else, surname only. And no, I'm not pasting 736 names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 So spelling mistakes will be void? I'm looking forward to this. No, spelling mistakes won't be void - just do your best, Boycie. Nobody will judge you. The predictions that have already been made have been entered into the master spreadsheet, and it automatically checks for a match on the FGS. The ones that don't match are highlighted, and a quick check of the squads let me identify the spelling mistakes, ambiguities (two players named Valencia in the Ecuador squad etc), players who have withdrawn or not been selected for their country's squad (e.g. Ribery). I then PM'd the participant with the changes I had made (e.g. obvious spelling mistake) and highlighted matches where they needed to make a change and re-submit that selection.

Isn't the knowledge that they have beaten everyone else into a bloody pulp and grabbed bragging-rights for the next 4 years a prize in itself?
