Hey guys, some of you might remember rifty's Euro 2008 competition and how fun it was so I thought I'd do one for the World Cup, if people are interested. All credit goes to rifty for making up the idea. The concept is simple, you guess the results of each game in the world cup and people compete to get first on the leaderboard and to get as many correct predictions as possible.
The points work out as, 5 for a correct result, 10 for the correct score. The second round and quarter final games will be worth 7 and 14, the semis will be 8 and 16 and the final 10 and 20. All you have to do to is post your predictions. The fixtures in the next three days are as follows: June 11th: South Africa v Mexico Uruguay v France June 12th: South Korea v Greece Argentina v Nigeria England v U.S.A June 13th: Algeria v Slovenia Serbia v Ghana Germany v Australia Have fun playing :) |

at 8:44 AM, Friday June 18, 2010 EDT Wow Germany. Wow. They were SO GOOD in their first match!!! When I started watching their second match... it just seemed like they never showed up, didn't have any energy, wern't awake. And then the ref... sooo many yellow cards... guy gets kicked out 37th minute, then Germany finally wakes up and makes stuff happen, but at this point it's too late. There wasn't any doubt to me who was the better team this match, Germany just didn't show up until the 40th minute, but at this point they were down to 10 men...
I'm not sure who to root for in that group, obviously I want the U.S. to get a good draw, we'll see how it all unfolds... but way to many upsets in this frickin tournament. I'm going to start picking the opposite team of who I think is going to win. |
