Sorry, haven't got time to think of an exciting one ... Binary Yes/No cascade (winners proceed to next round, if no winners, all survivors move forward)

(1) Will Oxford win?
(2) Will Oxford have more possession?
(3) Will Oxford have more shots on target?
(4) Will five or more substitutions be made?
(5) Will first goal be before 31 minutes?
(6) Will Hylton score? I mean ... in this game.

TB: time of first goal (no repeats, nearest wins, if tied, earlier wins).

On the assumption that the whole 120 minutes count and a win on penalties still counts as a win.

(1) Will Oxford win? - No
(2) Will Oxford have more possession? - Yes
(3) Will Oxford have more shots on target? - No
(4) Will five or more substitutions be made? - Yes
(5) Will first goal be before 31 minutes? - No
(6) Will Hylton score? I mean ... in this game. - No (assuming that scoring a penalty after 120 minutes doesn't count in which case I would change to a yes)

TB: time of first goal (no repeats, nearest wins, if tied, earlier wins). 42 minutes

Does the first question refer to the tie or the 90 minutes?

No, Yes, Yes, No, Yes, No

AC, Geoff, Hog, Hoglette and Radley survive the first two rounds
All but Geoff and Hog fall in round three
Only Geoff understands MApp's substitution policy ... the Boot of the the Poisoned Chalice is his!

I had a feeling it might happen but I certainly don't understand it!
