Gasroom World Cup Prediction Tournament!

Question: When we get to the knockout stage, is it the score after 90 minutes that counts, or does any extra time / penalties determine the final result?

Everyone still unable to unseat @last_quarter, who in fact opens the gap back up to 5 points.

Some good recent predictions from @Arnie, @wwfc_since_1993, @bargepole and @peterparrotface, all picking up 13 points from the last 5 games.

I have found a way to add bonus questions to the score predictions.

So we’re thinking that for the knockout games, everyone will be able to predict not just the 90 minute score, but also the final winner, and the method of winning. These will incur bonus points.

This should keep things more interesting, as the knockouts will be worth more points than the group games.

Have a done something wrong in the sign up process? I missed the first 4 or 5 games or so have been languishing at the bottom, until the games that kicked off yesterday and into this morning.

Not wanting to brag but I think I’m on 22 points, with 16 of those coming from the Iran game onwards.

That 3rd French goal was an absolute sickener!

Long way to go yet - I got lucky with Portugal v DR Congo coming in at 1-1 yesterday.

@last_quarter only manages 2 points from the last round of games, so the table tightens up a little bit. My abysmal slide down continues.

As a non-participating but interested onlooker, I can’t resist suggesting that someone needs to replenish @glasstotallyfull’s glass.

I feel like I should review my next predictions before the matches tonight. :grin: Should really have done it before yesterday. :rofl:
