Predict the result: World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

well... Belgium is the underdog against Argentina, but look at this, 4/4 predict Belgium to win O_O

Ive predicted Belgium to win purely because Wilmots knows how to use his subs to change a game and Argentina have looked clueless. Get Felli to sit on Messi all game and Argentina are done.

argentina have looked horrible. belgium haven't looked excellent yet, so I'm guessing they will finally click this game and start using all the talent they have to score. also belgium wins the midfield battle easily for me.

This is gonna be a tough round. The Belgium-Argentina game is a coin-toss and when it's a coin-toss, history shows that we should go with the tried and true...Argentina. Same for France-Germany. Where are my tea-leaves, or chicken-entrails, or magic 8-ball, or Thai Bookies, or Ghanaian witch doctor, or that one jerk-off--John Edward--who claims to speak to the dead?

MikeO...well done!

 

Thanks; looking back on it I picked all eight winners, though there were no big surprises so probably many people did. All the same I wish I'd had a few quid on it, eight way accumulator would've built up nicely :(.

 

France (0)1 Germany (0)2
Brazil (0)2 Colombia (0)1
Argentina (0)2 Belgium (0)1
Netherlands (1)2 Costa Rica (0)0

France (0)1 Germany (0)1

Brazil (o)1 Colombia (1)2

Argentina (1)2 Belgium (1)2

Netherlands (1)2 Costa Rica (0)1

 

In the knockout rounds, there can be no draws. (I add one goal to the winning team should it go to penalties.) You need to pick a winner for the France-Germany and Argentina-Belgium games.

Considering how poor I am at predicting football at the best of times I am very happy with how I am doing. My ambitions to be above MikeO are truly dashed to bits . So moderating my aims I would like to finish in the top half, and my choice would be above Cornish Steve who organised this little comp.

 

BY the way Cornish, I think you have done a brilliant job of this. Hope you can do something similar in future for us. Maybe the FA Cup?

MikeO and doc_bump are tied for first this round. Verreauxi's overall lead is cut to single digits.

Well done again MikeO and doc_bump! I should have went with my head on the Germany-France game, but hindsight is always 20/20. Didn't expect the French to roll over and die in the second half. No leadership on that team.

Talk about a reduction in ambition. Trying to beat me instead of MikeO is like saying you were trying to recruit Lionel Messi to your team but now you'll be satisfied with Charlie Adam!

Congratulations to Rubecula for managing a perfect score for the Netherlands-Costa Rica game. He and doc_bump are joint winners of the quarterfinal round. As we go into the semifinal round, verreauxi maintains an overall lead of 8 points.

 

As we approach the final four games, I'm going to make a small change to the rules: There will be double points for the World Cup final!

Cornish would have no time to do anything else if he did it for the FA Cup! Maybe the League Cup would be better :)

 

I'm sure he's up to it! Draw for the extra preliminary round has already been made. Get your tips in :P. I'll go (1)2 v (0)0 for all of them :lol:.
