World Cup Prediction Game (round 1)

[Big Dave]

All aboard the corporate hospitality event that is the World Cup where (if you're lucky) occasionally a football match will break out and disturb those munching on their prawn sandwiches!

I'm looking for people who want to play the predictions game for the 2014 World Cup. There will be seven rounds, the first in this thread. I'll give you the list of matches (in this case, the first group games for every team). You predict a score. There will be 1 point awarded for a correct result, and 4 awarded for a correct score-line. Results will be tallied as and when I can be bothered. Entries for each round will close at 9am the day BEFORE that round starts and the next round will be launched either as soon as the fixtures are ready or I can get around to it...play as many rounds as you like - I think Ras is supplying a prize for the winner, probably a special 'board status' or maybe a special vegetable from the selection in the "Gentlemen's Lounge"...


Anyway, Round One: Please copy and paste this part as your entry, include your predicted scoreline and if I've screwed anything up let me know (back online from this evening...) - oh and they're in group order not chronological order...

Entries for this round close at 9am Wed 11th June

Quite straightforward Jon. In the original post I have listed 16 games (each teams first group game). You have to guess the scores for each match. You get one point for a correct result (ie WDL) and 4 points for a correct scoreline (ie 0-0, 3-1, 0-2). There will be three rounds for the group stages and 4 for the knockout stages, and you can play all rounds no matter how well (or badly) you are doing to that point. The board member with the most points wins. Simples!

Cheers Dave, i'll have a go at that.

Well done on organising it.
