I'm still waiting on Golden Ball/Boot/Goalie and Syndicate member to win from you.

I am an american, I know like 4 international players. Can I just copy melatonii’s picks and say that he’ll be the Syndicate champion?

Why on earth would you pick me? You must really believe in Iceland.

I swear I postsd my score prediction last night, but I’m not seeing it now. 1-1 draw for the first game.

Denmark 2, Peru 1
Nigeria 1,Croatia 0

Most of the games are over before I wake up. Come on, Russia.

But I am glad the magic of Iceland paid off. I would have predicted a 4-0 win in their favor.

Yeah I meant to do that last night but I forgot. I probably will moving forward.

How many languages do World Cul referees need to be able to speak?

¿Que?

Peru looked like they had no finishing touch. They were the better team until they got the ball near the goal, and then everything took too long to set up.

Costa Rica 2 Serbia 0
Germany 3 Mexico 1
Brazil 2 Switzerland 1

Sweden 2, South Korea 1
Belgium 3, Panama 0
England 1, Tunisia 1

TUNISIAAA

(kinda stressed I have a 6am flight and it's 11pm and I've done shit all that I have to do so feel free to double check your scores and lmk)

My score should be 19, actually

Russia 2 Egypt 1
Poland 2 Senegal 0
Colombia 3 Japan 1

The Japanese team lurks the Syndicate and were insulted by this thread.

No one’s getting points today.

I watched the first half of Russia-Egypt and it was scoreless. At halftime I left for work. It's a 15 minute drive. By the time I got there, it was 3-0. A minute later it was 3-1.

Predictions for tomorrow:
Uruguay 3 Saudia Arabia 0
Portugal 2 Morocco 1
Spain 3 Iran 0

My goal is to wake up early enough to catch an 8 AM game before this tournment is over.

What time do you normally wake up?

10-11. I work nights.

Iceland is winning this thing, y’all. Tomorrow’s predictions:

Peru 1 France 1
Denmark 2 Australia 1
Argentina 2 Croatia 2 (opening the door for Iceland to advance when they beat Nigeria later)

Golden wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 9:09 pm Sloonei, Iceland will advance when they beat Nigeria AND Croatia.

Not with the goal differential they're about to put up.

I wasn’t sure if Croatia was really good or Nigeria were just overwhelmed the other day. It may have been the former.

Not to rub salt in any wounds, but Iceland is well-positioned right now.

meh, if argentina win Nigeria they can probably still go through.

Not after Iceland’s 7-0 win tomorrow.

Iceland 12 - Nigeria 0
Iceland 2, Nigeria 0
Brazil 2 Costa Rica 1
Switzerland 1 Serbia 0

They definitely win the Best Uniform award for this tournament. Their other ones against Croatia were great oo.

Iceland had all the best chances in the first half. Hoping they can finally break through in the second. Keep doing what you’re doing, Icefolks.

At least Nigeria is a team I can root for as well. I want all 4 teams in this group to be able to advance.

They ain't beating Croatia.

Never say never!

does this ref just not like serbia?

Belgium 2 Tunisia 0
Mexico 2 South Korea 1
Germany 2 Sweden 0

England 3 Panama 1
Colombia 1 Poland 1
Senegal 2 Japan 0

I didn’t get a chance to watch either of these teams play their first games so I just predicted a tie. My gut usually tells me to go with south american teams. I should have listened.

Uruguay 3 Russia 2
Egypt 1 Saudi Arabia 0
Portugal 3 Iran 1
Spain 4 Morocco 0

If that is true then the results makse sense because doping should be enough for Russia to beat other weak teams like Egypt and Arabia, but not a team with more talented players like Uruguay.

I take russian doping for granted in any sport

The hell are these results?

Peru 1 Australia 0
Denmark 2 France 2
Argentina 2 Nigeria 1
Iceland 1 Croatia 0

I am trying to will Iceland into the round of 16 with my predictions.

I need to leave for work right now

ilu iceland

Germany 3 South Korea 1
Mexico 1 Sweden 1
Brazil 2 Serbia 1
Switzerland 1 Costa Rica 0

Germany is the all around best team from what I’ve seen in this tournament. I can’t believe they might not advance.

Impressed by Sweden though and i’m happy they’re going through

Mexico will advance with a negative goal differential.

I am rooting so hard for germany right now. They’re so good and fun to watch, they just cannot finish today.

6+ minutes of stoppage time.

Holy shit. Wait no, never mind. Holy shit.

Holy shit.

This is amazing.
