The following predictions are not formulated through any conviction but rather through contrarianism: the only way I can win is by betting against popular opinion and hoping I get reeeeeeeally lucky!

12-Jul Brazil 1 - 2 Netherlands
13-Jul Germany 2 - 3 Argentina

Taking your idea to the extreme:

12-Jul Brazil 2 - 4 Netherlands
13-Jul Germany 0 - 4 Argentina

I did this once or twice yet and it wasn't a particular successful strategy. The problem is that if it doesn't work, you'll drop considerably.

Here are my revised predictions:

Runner-up game
Jul-12 2100 Brazil 1 - 1 Netherlands

Final
Jul-13 2000 Germany 2 - 1 Argentina

Just to make it official? Are these to replace your previous guesses, Miguel?

Damn! missed it by one!

Georginio Wijnaldum (#20) 90+1'

(then again... full time should be 90 minutes, not 91)...

Khris · Sun 13/07/2014 01:51:13

If I get lucky and my score prediction is correct, I'll still come in second thanks to my single deduction point

Cassiebsg · Sun 13/07/2014 21:58:16

0-0... guess no one gets any point out of this game... only miguel got close, but then he changed his prediction...

Edit: Congrats to Vincent for winning and Stupot+ for hosting this...

I got lucky and my score prediction WAS correct. I just guessed. Tomorrow I can revisit the neaby real supermarket and reclaim the money for all the purchases* I did there on Friday.
Silly real supermarket guys, you should not have done that "bet-and-win" event.

* A can of ravioli, a bottle of diet coke, and a bag of Basset Allsorts. Take that, consumerism!

According to the noise in the streets, I will find smashed cars and lots of broken glass tomorrow. We ARE a party people, aren't we?

Stupot · Sun 13/07/2014 23:29:10

Well, there it is. No points were scored by anyone in a rather anticlimactic finale. But that means:

Congratulations to Vincent. You are the World Cup Prediction Champion 2014!
Well done also to Cat for being constantly at the top end of the table, and to Cassiebsg for a deserved 3rd place. Thanks to everyone who took part for humouring me. You're all awesome. Medals are on the way.

Extra thanks again to Khris who made the awesome automatic spreadsheet and also acted as an extra pair of eyes, spotting the occasional error on my part.

Also well done to Ghost on his free can of Ravioli :-)

Well done guys. :-)

It sounds extremely silly when you put it that way, but also incredibly funny

Thanks for that!

Congratulations to Germany! Best team won! Khris and Ghost do celebrate with moderation please!

By the way, the European Qualifying phase is just near that corner...

It was fun!

I know even less about it than football, but there is some sort of World Tournament of Ultimate Frisbee coming up in early August, if anyone is interested in another go....
