    Bra Vs Cro + Mex Vs Cam Predictions?

    2 days to go now until the World Cup kicks off, what's everyone got for the opening game?

    I was tempted to go 4-0 but I've gone 2-0 to Brazil. Anyone gone for a shock Croatia win?

    Mexico to win the next game 2-1. I might change this to 2-0 but I can see Eto'o getting one.

    There are now 29 BBSers signed up to our prediction game, if you want to join (and loose!) check out the top post for details.

    I've joined (Waddybfc).

    Do you have to predict all the group games before the first group game kicks off, or can you change the predictions as the tournament progresses? Also, do you have to predict round 2 up front, even when you don't know who will be playing? I have done, just in case.

    I can honestly say though that I didn't realise it started tomorrow. I've never known myself to be so disinterested in the World Cup.

    4 years of bragging rights if you win, ultimate humiliation if you come last ;)

    There are now 39 BBSers taking part, if you don't make a prediction before tonight's opening game don't panic, you can submit predictions right before kick off for each game.

    I was the joint worst performer in our prediction game last season so unless Jay joins this game too I'll not bother. I need some company at bottom of the league table.

    Day 1 Standings

    We are under way and 10 of you guys predicted a 3-1 win to Brazil, dam!

    3 people didn't go for a Brazil win with Arabian_ian in last on 0 pts and -2 GD.

    Woolley Mammoth hasn't placed any predictions yet, so although he is officially last I think its only fair to declare Arabian_ian the worst of us yet, considering he had to audacity to predict a Croatia draw or win! :p

    Here is how the leaderboard shapes up after day 1:

    Re: Day 1 Standings

    How did watcher and Barnsleybomber get 0 points and also zero goal difference - surely if they predicted anything other than a Brazil win they cant have got the score right or dont I understand how the goal difference works

    I think it must go on the amount of goals scored in the match. So if they predicted 2-2 that would give a 0 goal difference.

    Oh Dear 1 match in and there is controversy. Are you sure Sepp Blatter is not running this?

    Get in - joint top after predicting a lucky 3-1 win for Brazil.

    I think those in joint 2nd place with 1 point should really be joint 11th.
