I agree the group is tough but if we can get through that hhopefully confidence will be high and strange things can happen in a world cup cup (here's hoping!)

Is this the forum to wax lyrical on any of the matches for the next 4 weeks?

Thoughts: 

 

I really appreciate everyone's entries.  Korea in overtime...would be historical!

 

I'm surprised we didn't get more entries, considering that the prize is a free 120 dollar Lego set and people will drive 30 miles to score a 30 dollar set at 50% off.  

 

I guess this shows how far the World Cup can grow with the many USA-based users, many of whom probably saw "FIFA" and skipped to the next thread.  Their loss!  NOTHING in sports compares to the drama and excitement of the World Cup.  And I'm a Midwestern guy who likes baseball and American football.  Luckily, some of my friends attended some games when the Cup was in Germany and their excitement spread to me.

 

Other than the USA, I tend to root for Uruguay (Suarez and Forlan were very entertaining last time) and Netherlands.  I like the fact that a first-time winner won last time, Spain.

 

I'm ready to watch the ESPN preshow in 1.5 hours, and the game after that.  HAVE FUN!!!

Sauromosis, I will start making space already in my store room for the Republic Gunship. 

After looking through the list, a lot of people had Spain in their predictions, including me. I thought that they were going to beat the Netherlands for sure.

4 choices already eliminated...I hope the parity we're seeing continues into the next round and GO USA v PORTUGAL!!!

Everything going according to plan!

Flopping your way to victory?

Haha... whatever it takes!

i know i am late for entries i joined the forum late.. even then for kickers here is mine:

 

1. Netherlands
2. Germany
3. 3-2
4. Brazil vs Argentina (2-1)

Will Neymar's injury and Silva's suspension hurt our largest group of guessers?

 

The tournament is almost over, the goal scoring has stopped, and the fouls have increased.

 

Good luck everyone!!!

Thanks!

 

The injury might influence my prediction being right. Belgium is out so that one I was wrong already. 

I have both Argentina and Brazil moving on, but I think Brazil is screwed, which will screw my initial predictions!!!

So close, but so far away...

So, if the final is won by Germany against the Netherlands... What would we do? Nobody picked that final matchup.

Good question...I guess we'd have to slide over to score, then third place match.  There WILL be a winner.

uggg.. i got the 1st teams right but I lose becasue of my stupid 3rd and 4th place team..  Stupid Brazil

 

 

I'm assuming it will be between knarrff and Bold-arrow since Germany will win.  But how do you determin the winner from that since they both picked Brazil and no one picked the 4th place team correctly?

I think the best way is to point the system he placed since I guess noone win..... Ever information that some got right = 1 point, whoever got most points = winner....

 

so if Germany wins and you put it down = 1 point

if Argentina in finals = 1 point

if 3rd place participant right (1 point each)

if score right (each side score 1 point)

 

and if a tie, outright winner>final participats>3rd place participant> scores 

 

but the ocntest holder is the one to judge, however his slight mistake is not declaring rules for such situation now he can manipulate

Argentina might win too u know, don't count them out

Sigh... it was an example

 

I actually wished all 4 semi final participants would be eliminated in semis and noone goes into finals so what do i care

I already have tie breakers from boxofcorey and Grolim via PM.  

 

Before Sunday, knarrff and Bold-arrow should send me a PM with their third place game score.

I was actually responding to nlitrenta's post. ;)

I must point out that the 3rd place game is Saturday, not Sunday.
