World Cup Predictions Game

by **Afro** Wed 13 Jun 2018, 3:01 pm

First topic message reminder :

All you need to do is predict the scoreline of each match.

You will score 2 points if you predict the correct result (i.e. correct winner or a draw) and 5 points if you get the correct result and the correct scoreline.

Google sheets link is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17twZARnux9_vReYY1pnMzbSp35ikKsarfyxDAGjHcig/edit#gid=0

Each prediction will need to be posted on this page before the scheduled kick-off time of that match for it to count.

Here are the first lot of fixtures. I will get the rest on when I have a little more time

I know it's your thing mate, but wouldn't it be best if it does go to penalties then whoever wins gets one goal added to the score.

Or is it because you still want draws to be a possibility? (Might change mine if so)
