Now the first rounds entries are in, time to mock or applaud your fellow forum members and competitors...
...who's played it safe, who's clearly living on another planet, and who should have put money on at the bookies rather than predicting on here...
...I will give some thoughts once I've collated the predictions later tonight...

I have evidence that mr gregsgas has been abusing the rules and it could have a material effect on my final league position! Solicitors letter is in the post.

So I've done the spreadsheet and just glancing through it it has some interesting stats: Everyone thinks Brazil will beat Croatia in the opening game tomorrow... No one thinks that the Netherlands can beat Spain (about half have gone for a Spain win, the other half a draw)... No one thinks Costa Rica will beat Uruguay (but @mcchisel, Russgas, inee and seanclevedongas have gone for a draw which may or may not help England)... ...and speaking of England, we have 4 predictions of a win, 7 draws and 8 defeats... A couple of brave souls are picking Honduras to beat France (step forward inee and Finnish Gas, whilst seanclevedongas has gone for a draw...) No one has gone for anything other than an Argentina win, whilst only gregsy can see Iran notching up only their second ever win at the finals against Nigeria (bonus points for anyone who can remember their only win without looking it up...) No one has predicted Portugal to take all three points from Germany, whilst most people are expecting Belgium to start quickly against Algeria... I for one can't wait for it all to kick off! |

Just you in fact, I was reading the wrong column....in my defence, it was late  Now don't worry, I'm not going to update this daily, but since it's the first game... @hugotheelder, Russgas, inee, glostergas and lincsblue all start off with 4 points for a correct 3-1 scoreline, whilst everyone else picks up a single point for the correct result. |

Not happy. That was never a penalty and I should have got the right scoreline. Grrr.

Don't think anyone is taking maximum points for predicting the Spain v Netherlands scoreline...

I would bet that for the next 6-8 years they become the next Spain....getting close but never quiet getting there...I might be proved wrong, but tonight I don't think they beat a great team...not even sure they beat a good team....however, they have probably won an easier route through the knockout stages... |

It seems that Russgas is off to a flyer with 8 points for predicting the Brazil and Chile results perfectly...and he's only 10 minutes away from getting the Colombia result spot on too! (BTW, I'm just trying to jinx you with that last comment ) *edit* success! Jinxed it! |

I currently make it 13 pts top place, (Russ) 12 for myself and then 11 for third (Roverdrive). France and Argentina still to play. Come on the 4-0 and 5-0 |
