Submitted!
I have no idea what I'm doing. I also forgot to copy the results, so let's hope the site doesn't crash or something.

I hit Enter by accident and submitted 26 no-score draws that I didn't intend to. I think I'll leave it at that now and hope for the most boring World Cup ever!

Hehe. I noticed that and it made me laugh. I thought maybe you were planning to submit the rest later (not in the rules but I wouldn’t have minded) but I just took the ones you put in hide tags in your post above and entered them into the spreadsheet. :-)

We now have 10 players already (including me).
Another 10 would be perfect.

When you submit the predictions they are emailed to me and I’ve also entered them into the Google sheet, so they should be safe :-)

Cheers Stu! Kind of gives me a reason to actually care about the World Cup (all my football caring is going into this Saturday

#6 is on its way! (And unlike 2005 and 2007, I will actually be able to see this one live.)

Nice one! I can't remember how many there were last time...?

Stupot · « **Reply #43 on:** 21 May 2018, 13:40 »

11 people in Eruo ‘16 (well 12 because Creamy came on as a sub for Tzachs who came off injured at half time) and 14 in World Cup ‘14. But 20 would be great.

I now tried at different times on different days but I always get a server not found error

That’s odd. It’s been pretty reliable from where I’m sitting (apart from on the set times where it’s reliably unreliable). If you still can’t get it to work after a couple more tries, it’s okay to just copy and edit the numbers from someone’s post above. You can put them here or pm them to me.

The whole php form thing is just my silly little project anyway. It doesn’t really make things much quicker as I still have to manually input them into the spreadsheet. I’ve just started a new teacher training course. My AGS-related activities always go up when there is something else I should be concentrating on. Read an linguistics book or tweak some CSS? No brainer.

Yeah, it's pretty weird, it works neither on my phone nor my PC. I'll post my guesses here. However, I also don't have access to the rules, would be great if you could post them here (or PM me).

I've updated the first post to contain the rules in spoiler tags

Wait! What? There are rules!!!!!

I thought we just randomly shot the ball around the teams and where ever the ball landed then we cast a prediction... damn! Need to revise my tactics...

Stupot · « **Reply #51 on:** 24 May 2018, 22:53 »

Did anybody try submitting predictions a few hours ago?

I received 2 emails: one was full of 0-0 draws and the name given was “echo ‘WTF’” so I think they were maybe testing to see if they could insert php into the email or something, the second one was literally just the team names. They would have had to have done something in order to erase all the 0s that are in the boxes by default.

I think someone was having a little play around.

Weirdly, it did work now

If Salah is indeed out for the next few weeks, I don't fancy Egypt's chances much.

Creamy · « **Reply #55 on:** 27 May 2018, 18:34 »

They still think he can recover.

I haven't followed soccer much lately. A great unknown is Iceland.

EDIT: I didn't know Guerrero's ban had been extended. Let's hope Peru can manage without him.

Stupot · « **Reply #56 on:** 01 Jun 2018, 05:28 »

Two weeks to go!

Also, I have a favour to ask. Would somebody be kind enough to volunteer to make a special signature trophy for the winner?

Last time I put out a similar request but had no takers, so I made one myself and it was rubbish.

Reply here or PM me if you’re interested. Cheers.

Stupot · « **Reply #57 on:** 07 Jun 2018, 23:41 »

One week to go. Five more players would make it a nice round 20. If everyone who took part in the "show of hands" at the start of this thread signed up, we would have our 20.

Also , thanks to ManicMatt, we have a nice pixel-trophy for the winner.

CaptainD · « **Reply #58 on:** 08 Jun 2018, 09:02 »

Thanks ManicMatt for the trophy!
Thanks Stupot for hosting!

15 isn't a bad number but would be nice if we could get 5 more...

Stop hetzing me. I'm in!
