It's knockout football now... whoooooole different ball game (technically, still the same ball game). Teams playing for the draw, trusting in the dreaded shootout... but will VAR continue to drastically change football as we know it?

TO THE WEBSITE!

Just wild guessing...

maybe I should turned my guesses around just because I always predict the wrong way around...

Thanks all. Just waiting on two more sets of guesses.
Did anyone experience anything strange when entering your predictions? I got a strange blank email with only the team names but all the fields empty (which is weird because the form has default values so it can't just be from someone pressingbsubmitbmy accident).

No - all worked fine for me this time round.

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #125 on:** 30 Jun 2018, 17:28 »

And it's gone... and I missed waaaay to far from the goal again!
Too much faith in Argentina I guess... plus added the last (and only) game I saw by France in the previous round...

I fell like they cheated me!

CaptainD · « **Reply #126 on:** 30 Jun 2018, 20:25 »

Okay stay like this please (Uruguay 2 Portugal 1}

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #127 on:** 30 Jun 2018, 20:59 »

nah, now I need to cheer for Uruguai

Go Uruguai!

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #128 on:** 01 Jul 2018, 22:20 »

This is crazy, Baron strategy is working pretty good today, at least...

ManicMatt · « **Reply #129 on:** 01 Jul 2018, 23:27 »

I believe I'm second place.. okaaaay..

This could easily change of course, but still, what is going on! Football bores me to tears!

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #130 on:** 02 Jul 2018, 20:58 »

That was an insane 2nd half!

Guess I didn't gave credit enough to the Japanese... and I was kind of hoping they made it (even though I bet against them). Probably having watched Cap.Tsubasa influenced me...

Unbelievable, Jeff! Congratulations to England.

And congrats to Selmiak for being the high scorer for the round of 16.

Quarter-final prediction window is now open. Don't forget.

Here's the current table with 8 games to go. Haggis is still ahead.
11 points separates 1st and 2nd place. Interestingly, 11 points also covers the bottom 13 places.

See you in the quarters.

Haggis · « **Reply #132 on:** 03 Jul 2018, 23:34 »

It is certainly interesting!

Baron · « **Reply #133 on:** 04 Jul 2018, 06:27 »

Well, the tie strategy worked pretty well for me last round, so I'm keeping it up:

Uruguay 2 - 2 France
Brazil 2 - 2 Belgium
Sweden 1 - 1 England
Russia 2 - 2 Croatia

Originally I had all 2-2 ties, but Sweden is just so defensive I couldn't bring myself to do it.

CaptainD · « **Reply #134 on:** 04 Jul 2018, 08:24 »

Hmm.... tricky.

Uruguay 1 - 1 France Really tough to predict, France have got goals in them but their defence can clearly be got at, Uruguay rock solid defence with Suarez and Cavani up front... can see this being edgy though.
Brazil 2 - 0 Belgium Great fight back by Belgium the other day but think Brazil will just have too much for them.
Sweden 1 - 2 England Bit if a blind guess really. Know nothing about Sweden other than that they don't have Ibrahimavic any longer. England actually look a decent team atm. Think Harry Kane will score all three (or at least claim them all).
Russia 1 - 0 Croatia Although Croatia are the team I hope win it, I can see home advantage just about pushing this in Russia's favour.

Someone has sent me some predictions but didn't fill in the ‘name' field.

I've had three other sets of guesses from Bicilotti, Baron and CaptainD. If you have already sent yours but you're not one of those people, can you either try again or just let me know here.

Cheers :-)

Oops, I probably shouldn't do it when I have just woken up! I didn't notice the name field..

selmiak · « **Reply #137 on:** 04 Jul 2018, 09:25 »

Don't worry. I also forgot last round when I did my official entry. Even though I'm the one running it and have tested it dozens of times with different nicknames.

Technically, due to the reasons mentioned in an earlier post, you are technically third and Matt is 2nd. That's because in the event of a tie the number of correct scores determines the position. I couldn't get the table to work this out automatically, though.

Sinitrena · « **Reply #139 on:** 04 Jul 2018, 15:39 »

I'm doing about as good as the german team...

Uruguay 1 - 2 France
Brazil 1 - 1 Belgium
Sweden 2 - 1 England
Russia 0 - 0 Croatia
