Heh heh, Charlie's crept up to first place.

 

[jwhouk]

Brazil-Germany, Netherlands-Argentina.

So - how do we do it if we think a game's going to go to the shootout/penalty kicks/whatever they call that at the end?

Predict the shootout score, I think. Netherlands-Costa Rica is showing up as 4-3 for me.

 

[jwhouk]

Yeah, I see that.

That is way too close. Allright I'm putting my gameface on. Now to bite my nails through the final games. Good luck.

How are there only 9 points remaining with 4 games? Do they not count the 3rd place game?

NOPE I'm dumb as hell and forgot the 3rd place game.

[quote="Dave, post: 1135220, member: 1"I have Germany winning it all over Argentina.[/quote]

This is looking a pretty good bet right now.

 

[Dave]

Yup!

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

What's the tiebreaker?

 

[Dave]

Most correct 3 point guesses followed by most 2 point, 1 point, etc.

 

[DarkAudit]

If it's all still tied after that, PK shootout at Dave's house. BYOB.

 

[Rovewin]

Most correct 3 point guesses followed by most 2 point, 1 point, etc.

Dang that puts me right out. The people with 3 point guesses already are getting that boost. I think least amount of zero point guesses would work better. Means they picked the winner of each match the most.

 

[jwhouk]

I'm out, anyways. Dangit, I can't win these things.

 

[Dave]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I got the score right, got 3 points...AND CHARLIE BEAT ME BY ONE POINT!!

 

[mikerc]

Bah, fourth. The knockout stages seem to have been my undoing.

On the plus side if Scotland can beat Germany in Dortmund in September we get to claim to be the "real" World Champions for the first time since we beat England back in '67.
