for correct winner, you get 1 point.
for correct winner and a correct sore margin (for example, you guess 1-2 but it's 2-3, or you guess 1-1 and it's 2-2), you get 2 points.
for correct winner and exact score, you get 3 points.

#133

But I picked Saudi Arabia

#134

Yikes. Thanks for the correction Golden

#135

I see you wrote it as Saudi Arabia 2 0 Russia

The game was Russia vs. KSA so I must have misread it when I tallied up.

Can't believe I voted for you to win. What was I thinking.

Perfect. From now on if I'm picking an upset I'll always write it backwards so that you are tricked into thinking I won either way.

I mean, I thought both these teams were bad, but I was genuinely surprised by just how bad Saudi Arabia were. How are they ranked 67th? Their defence was terrible.

I was impressed by Russia's defence. I might have gone wrong in picking Egypt to beat them.

#137

Russia won't make it past the round of 16 but Yea, they got lucky by being in a weak group and will most likely advance from group stages. They're not great, the fact that Saudi Arabia had possession of the ball more than them tells you something. But they looked good today cos they were playing against the Saudis.

I'm still going to pick Egypt to beat them. But Egypt have to actually win, not draw, after that result from the Saudis.

#140

I'd prefer Egypt to go through, but this game gave Russia a great goal-average boost and completely restored the team's confidence, which may be enough to help them draw/win against Egypt and reach the next stage.

unfortunately, not really. you haven't seen argentina recently probably. but I appreciate the vote of confidence in us.

his prediction of saudi winning russia was world's more ballsy. and brazil to only score 1 against switzerland

#146

I'm surprised how many people are predicting Spain to win Portugal. what do they know that I don't know?

#147

Dunya why are you more about Argentina than Sweden?

If only Sophie was here she’d love you.

Portugal’s long history of blowing it at the World Cup?

But I feel like I should have done what you did and picked a draw.

#149

I've been rooting for Argentina since I was 7 or 8. It started off back then maybe to spite my mom and Grandpa who rooted for Brazil (Lebanese people cheered for Brazil or Argentina only in the old days, and now it's split between Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Spain with some weirdos cheering England on

). They thought I was disgusting. I liked the attention as a 7-year old going against them muahaha. I just hated Brazil and seeing them lose to France in the WC 98 just intensified the hate ever since. I haven't seen Argentina win a WC in my memory yet (they last won in 86), but I support them till the day I die.

#150

that said, there are teams I hate more than Brazil these days. I hate France. I hate Portugal (sorry Buckaroo

just so many unlikeable players...). and I really hate Germany.
