Managed to build out a full league table here. Fewer people have entered than I thought, 23 in total have scored at least 1 point.

You think you have it bad, I’m currently placed 51st!

Only @bluequarters picked up any points after Qatar’s late equaliser, predicting an exact 1-1. Everyone else went for variations on a Switzerland win.

Daylight robbery. The squandering Swiss let a lot of us down there (I’m sure they’re thinking of the Gasroom Predictions table) .

NO WILLI, NO PARTY.

I’m way too excited about this for an early Sunday morning.

This is a great addition to the WC @OxfordBlue, although suddenly causing me a lot of stress now I have 1st place to defend! The late goal for Ivory Coast overnight ruined my morning when I saw it first thing.

Happy with that so far. Might do some revisions before round 2 though. :grin:

Perhaps unsurprisingly, 0 points across the board after Cape Verde’s phenomenal team display against Spain.

In fact, only one predictor anticipated a winning margin of less than two goals for Spain, and most went for three or more goals in favour of Spain.

That 0-0 draw might’ve scuppered us but all is forgiven. Great result for Cape Verde, land of my honeymoon and a special place in my heart!

Wonderful place. Been lucky enough to have visited twice, Sal and Boa Vista. Fantastic people there.

Their tourist board will be rubbing their hands with glee I imagine,

Another game day with very few points scored across the board, due to some unexpected results.

@last_quarter retains pole position, although @bluequarters closes the gap to just 2 points.
