Predict the result: World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

Day 1, and we already have a perfect score. Way to go, verreauxi, for predicting the half-time result and the exact final score. You lead the table for game, round, and tournament!

Anyone predict that the first goal of the tournament would be an OG? I can't imagine the payout among the bookies for that one.

MikeO retains a slim lead despite being the only person to score zero points this game and there being one perfect score.

 

 

 

Very modest of you not to point out who it was achieved by Steve :P.

 

Really didn't see Greece conceding three today, but that dreadful cock up for the early goal cost them big time; they don't score many.

Congratulations to Peter H and verreauxi for scoring two points from a very unexpected result (one point for the correct result at half-time and another point for predicting the correct number of goals scored by Uruguay). The rest of us didn't do too well! MikeO retains a one-point lead at the top.

Steve, top marks for the commitment mate, I was expecting maybe an update a week!

 

But it would be zero fun if we all had to wait that long to know how we're doing! It's not such a big deal. I created the spreadsheet with all the required formulas in advance, and I also entered everyone's predictions, which is what takes all the time. All I have to do after each game is enter the score, do a little editing so the format is more readable, save as PDF, convert to JPG, upload to photobucket, copy the link, and it's done. It sounds like several steps, but it takes less than 10 minutes.

Second round scores

 

Here's the next 16 games to predict, with first round results providing a little bit of a guide to form. Since scores for the round will be reset, anyone can play - not just those participating in the first round. All your predictions must be posted here before Brazil kicks off against Mexico. (Note that, to make it easier for me to enter scores, you should quote your half-time score in parentheses before you quote your full-time score - not after as we did the last time.)

Well, you did score the joint highest score for the Germany game. Well done to you and to Peter H. Maybe I have jinxed verreauxi, because he scored zero for this game - although he does retain a comfortable lead with only four games left in the first round.

Well, another game has been played and verreauxi has achieved another perfect score - putting him way ahead of the pack. Could you please choose my lottery numbers?

 

 

Ban the cheat, that's what I say; he's obviously the head of a far eastern gambling cartel :shaking fist:.
