World Cup Predictions - Pick the Score

[y2blade]

Wow what a finish, glad for Swiss after they had the non-offside scramble goal disallowed, some shoddy refereeing!

Why Can't they use instant reply tech?

 

[Speicher]

Go on then....

You can maybe also explain it to a few of the officials at the WC

Why are the referees using shaving foam to mark out the lines for free kicks etc?

I do not know enough about the footy to predict the scores for the games, but I might guess which teams will be in the final.

17/6 Brazil v Mexico 2-0 (although Mexico will have three goals disallowed and Fred will win a penalty for adjusting his eyeshadow in the box)
18/6 Australia v Netherlands 0-8
18/6 Spain v Chile 2-2 (but, really, this could go anywhere. Spain could collapse completely or, maybe, if the team is cleansed of Casillas and the Barcelona players, come back from the dead)
19/6 Colombia v Ivory Coast 2-2 (and wildly entertaining)
19/6 Uruguay v England 0-2 (could it be that Uruguay are just falling apart?)
20/6 Italy v Costa Rica 3-1
20/6 Switzerland v France 1-2 (the Swiss being docked three goals for really awful haircuts)
21/6 Argentina v Iran 7-1
21/6 Germany v Ghana 4-1 (I intend to what this at the barbers draped in a Nigerian flag)
22/6 USA v Portugal 1-4 (Christiano Ronaldo runs riot)

I know what the offside rule is, so can I join in?

Of course you can. But, obviously, you can't predict for the games that have already been played. Because that would be postdiction...
These are the matches that have been posted up.
Argentina v Bosnia-Herzegovina
Ivory Coast v Japan
Germany v Portugal
Belgium v Algeria

Brazil v Mexico
Australia v Netherlands
Spain v Chile
Columbia v Ivory Coast
Uruguay v England
Italy v Costa Rica
Switzerland v France
Argentina v Iran
Germany v Ghana
USA v Portugal

Have a look at the spreadsheet (attached) and you'll see what teams have been chosen. You can also pick a team if you want. It'll go onto the next batch of fixtures when I post them up.
There are also bonus points for guessing the winning team (12 for 1st, 9 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd, 3 for 4th and one for 5th) and predicting the golden boot (15,12,9,6,3 points)

If you have a look at my scores then you'll see I don't have a clue either! Just a bit of fun.

If you're in you can also predict for the unplayed matches in the first round. See my post to Speicher (maybe 2 posts above) for details.

Didn't see that coming, Germans a great side but 4 - 0, had to reccord it so will watch it later.
