24hoursfromtulsehill Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This. So if Brazil play Colombia and I've got them playing Ireland, I don't get points for a correct Brazil score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 So if Brazil play Colombia and I've got them playing Ireland, I don't get points for a correct Brazil score? No. You only get the points for predicting that Brazil would get to the given round of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Whilst understanding your desire to win, FFS stop asking questions. I'm not bothered about winning. I'm just managing expectations. And doing a little bit of old skool fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear I shall be owing you a pint at Colchester..... I only have 4 of the Q/Fists..... and the Argentina v Belgium tie correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) My quarter final line up was: Brazil - Colombia Bosnia - Germany Spain - Uruguay Argentina - Belgium Five teams out of eight, I don't see it yielding the points required to catapult me up the table though. Edit: Particularly as in those two correctly predicted ties I need 3-2 'home' wins for maximum points!

You probably needed more out of the group stages to compete but you are primed for a decent comeback with those teams (as long as you've got Belgium in the "round of two").

Sadly not, I've got Argentina beating Belgium 3-2 in an epic quarter final that will go down in history as being the defining moment of Lionel Messi's career as he goes on to lift the trophy on his own. Actually I've got Brazil to win, but I've changed my mind having watched them play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Good showing from NewBlue in his/her first professional outing. Might fade away in the final stages but there's definitely something to work with. Just wondering what I'm going to do with the money I'd put aside for entry into next season's prediction league.

Oafc1895 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Looking at my predictions going forward I'm gutted. I though it was going to be top 3 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Good showing from NewBlue in his/her first professional outing. Might fade away in the final stages but there's definitely something to work with. A Matt Smith. Adjust to the standard first campaign in the pros then excel the next...I hope.

From experience, the World Cup predicting is a Boy Scout jamboree compared with the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinchmepup Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Come on Germany. Shut up shop for five more minutes and 1-0 will do nicely for 5 bonus points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hmmm. Two correct game predictions and results (but not correct scores) in the 1/4 finals, plus one more team correct. So that's a correct prediction for the teams in one of the semis. Come on Germany; I need you to beat Brazil and the Argie Bargies to get to the semis. God knows what points that lot scores, but not too shabby. Might just stay in the top half. And thanks Spain, you bunch of tosspots. Could have had both semis spot on. Hey ho.

JoshOWTB Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 20 points pinchmepup - well done. Looks like you will jump into first place come the final! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc1895 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Does that include the points for correct teams in SF's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Based on my increase in points and getting no correct score predictions it must include semi final teams. I can still get another 21 points... Just means supporting a team id rather not support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
