You could be right because i suck at doing scores.

But i think you might have missed the caveat that if you correctly guess the goal scorer your time is zero no matter when the first goal was scored.

I got that part thats why i did the PSG game. Everyone got that one wrong.

OK, so Charlie Sheen got 0 because they guessed Messi, and then ((15-3)*5)-30 = 30 for PSG.

So I think i will stick with 2chairs explanation.

"So I think i will stick with 2chairs explanation."

Thank you. An excellent decision.

P.S. You must be REALLY drunk.

We are following stuff like LOL, soccer, and curling. We are all drunk. If not, we should be.

- If any other player scores the first goal of the game (for either team), you will have 5 seconds added to your time for each minute you were off of your time guess.

Seems i missed this somewhat important rule.
Back to the bar i go.

Whad'ya drinkin? I'll buy. We can talk about things like snowboard cross and these insidious rules that dublindorf has dreamed up. ;)

Does your teammate know you just equated LOL and soccer?

Tied in the same sentence doesn't quite mean equated. But yeah, ok. Besides, I bet he's a big LOL fan within 2 weeks, and maybe a closet fan already.

Like...a fan of closets?

So... we only have 30... right? The scoring on this confused the hell out of me.

Here's what I got for the first two soccer games:

Idol Threats
- (Bar) Messi 40' = -15 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 35' = 130 seconds
Total = 115 seconds

Stagos
- (Bar) Messi 42' = -15 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 40' = 155 seconds
Total = 140 seconds

Race Katz
- (Bar) Messi 60' = -15 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 40' = 155 seconds
Total = 140 seconds

Charlie Sheen
- (Bar) Messi 32' = -15 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 15' = 30 seconds
Total = 15 seconds

Average Joes
- (Bar) Neymar 37' = 55 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 34' = 125 seconds
Total = 180 seconds

Longbottom
- (Bar) Neymar 45' = 15 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 30' = 105 seconds
Total = 120 seconds

Family Feud
- (Bar) Messi 30' = -15 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 35' = 130 seconds
Total = 115 seconds

KTO
- (Bar) Iniesta 20' = 140 seconds
- (PSG) Ibra 30' = 105 seconds
Total = 245 seconds

I can do a spreadsheet to explain the totals if you want, but here's an example:

Idol Threats
- (Bar) Messi 40' = -15 seconds (0 seconds for the right player, -15 seconds for the players team winning)
- (PSG) Ibra 35' = 130 seconds (160 seconds for the wrong player: 5 seconds x 32 for minutes off, -15 seconds for a teamate scoring first, -15 seconds for the players team winning)
Total = 115 seconds

Maybe that challenge wasn't as cool as I thought it was.  My brain was going in circles trying to add that up...

No, it was very cool IMO.  Any challenge that enhances a game you would watch anyways only makes it more fun.
Dani Alves was just relentless for Barca yesterday.

I was relentless at the bar yesterday too.

Once I sort of understood it it was cool. Although I still didn't know you could go negative until just now. Let's all cheer for a 1-0 AC Milan win, with a goal in the 90th minute from Marco Ballotelli.....

To quote Futurama -
"Are we boned?"
"Yup. We're boned."
