World Cup - predict the scores

Martyn · Post by **Martyn** » Mon May 26, 2014 11:08 am

Same rules as the FA Cup competition, but we are predicting EVERY game.

You have to predict the scores (at 90 minutes) of all games.

Scoring is as follows:

10 points for exact result and score
7 points for right result and one team's score correct
5 points for right result but neither team's score correct
2 points for wrong result but one team's score correct.

Example: England v Italy. If result is England 2 Italy 1 then

England 2 Italy 1 scores 10
England 2 Italy 0 scores 7
England 3 Italy 0 scores 5
England 1 Italy 1 scores 2
England 0 Italy 1 scores 2
England 1 Italy 2 scores 0

Initial rounds of games are:

Brazil v Croatia
Mexico v Cameroon
Spain v Netherlands
Chile v Australia
Colombia v Greece
Uruguay v Costa Rica
England v Italy
Cote d’Ivoire v Japan
Switzerland v Ecuador
France v Honduras
Argentina v Bosnia-Herzegovina
Germany v Portugal
Iran v Nigeria
Ghana v USA
Belgium v Algeria
Russia v South Korea

Brazil v Mexico
Australia v Netherlands
Spain v Chile
Cameroon v Croatia
Colombia v Cote d’Ivoire
Uruguay v England
Japan v Greece
Italy v Costa Rica
Switzerland v France
Honduras v Ecuador
Argentina v Iran
Germany v Ghana
Nigeria v Bosnia-Herzegovina
Belgioum v Russia
South Korea v Algeria
USA v Portugal

Australia v Spain
Netherlands v Chile
Cameroon v Brazil
Croatia v Mexico
Costa Rica v England
Italy v Uruguay
Greece v Cote d’Ivoire
Japan v Colombia
Bosnia-Herzegovina v Iran
Nigeria v Argentina
Ecuador v France
Honduras v Switzerland
Portugal v Ghana
USA v Germany
Algeria v Russia
South Korea v Belgium

You can predict as far in advance as you like, the only rule is that only predictions received before the relevant game kicks off will count.

Bloody Oscar, ruining my chance of a perfect start in injury time.

No major surprise after the opening game, nobody got the score correct but everyone (apart from John in Louisiana who was a late entrant) went for a Brazil win

Saw a much better Mexican team today than I did through qualifying.

You can spare me the humiliation and stop posting my score. We don't need any further proof that, relatively speaking, we Americans know nothing about football.
