[Football] The Official WC prediction thread

Let's get this going.

Rules are :
You pick a score for each game and a scorer.
Example : Team A 2-1 Team B (Scorer X).
You get 5 points if the outcome is right (Team A wins).
You get 10 points if the score is right (Team A wins 2-1).
You get 5 points per goal scored by your scorer (5 points if scorer X scores 1, 10 points if he scores 2, etc...).
If you predict a scoreless draw and you're right, you'll get 15 points+5 point if you named no scorer. However, you can also pick a scorer even if you predicted a 0-0 draw.

I'll ask each of you to count its own points (gentleman's agreement here) so that I don't have to make a huge recount everyday.
Don't forget to post your predictions for every game. You can post it until the kickoff.

Good luck to all!

I might still edit the predictions for tomorrow though but the ones for tonight will stand
Not that I want to accuse you of cheating (yet! :D), rather to avoid accusations, I would suggest you (and everyone else considering changing their preds) re-do them in a seperate reply, so that the posted/last edit date & time on a specific post is never after the kick-off date & time of any match in the post..

Thought about that as well I'll fix it now and remove the saturday predictions.

OK, I calculated all the scores.
9 are tied for the lead with 15 points (Germany win, Klose with two goals).
Frolov had Klose, but not the Germany win, so he has 10 points.
The others only had the Germany win, but not the scorer, so they have 5 points.
Everyone had 0 point for the Poland-Ecuador win.
That'll teach me to trust my instincts, as I first thought about an Ecuador win... :madfire:

Saturday
England vs. Paraguay: 2-0 (Owen)
Trinidad and Tobago vs. Sweden: 0-4 (Larsson)
Argentina vs. Ivory Coast: 3-2 (Crespo)

Saturday

T & T - Sweden 0-2 (Zlatan)

After this game, #16 is leading!

Trinidad and Tobago vs. Sweden: 0-4 (Larsson)
Argentina vs. Ivory Coast: 3-2 (Crespo)
You already posted your saturday predictions, but I'll take these ones since they were the last posted.

It's RIGGED!!!!

Sunday's Predictions

Holland - Serbia M 2-0 (Robben)
Mexico - Iran 1-2 (Karimi)
Angola - Portugal 1-2 (Deco)

I think Iran will be the darkhorse in this tournament. They were outstanding in qualifying, and have some great players.

Sunday's Predictions

Holland - Serbia M. 1-0 (v. Nistelrooy)
Mexico - Iran - 2-1 (Borgetti)
Angola - Portugal 0-4 (Pauleta)

Sunday's Predictions! OK, technically here it's Sunday already and so it is there; but it's before kickoff, so I should be good.

Holland - Serbia & Montegnegro 2-1 (Van Nistelrooy)
Mexico - Iran 3-1 (Borgetti)
Portugal - Angola 3-0 (Figo)

Tricolore: I know they have Ali Karimi, but what about the rest of the team? I was under the impression it was Karimi +10 unnotable dudes (how's that for a commercial, adidas?).

Tricolore: I know they have Ali Karimi, but what about the rest of the team? I was under the impression it was Karimi +10 unnotable dudes (how's that for a commercial, adidas?).
They have a few other players who play in the Bundesliga. Mahdavikia plays for Hamburg, Hashemian plays for Hannover (and I think he was Asian player of the year a few years back), and they have Zandi who also plays in Germany. Oh yes, they also have Ali Daei, who is 38 years old! Despite his age, he has loads of experience, and is actually the all-time leading international scorer.

I have a lot of Iranian friends, who have been indoctrinating me as to how good Iran actually is. I followed their qualification round and thought they were impressive. They have an incredible spirit right now, and I think Karimi is the type of player that can spurn on an upset. They are not the same type of team they were back in 1998 by any means.

Hmm, I will be paying big time attention tommorow then, I still can't see them beating our team with are attacking power and pretty good defence

Didn't Iraq beat Portugal at the Olympics? :yo:

Of course, Portugal is heavily favoured, but as evidenced today, and in previous World Cups, anything is possible.

BTW, this is a prediction thread, so I'll stop talking after this post.

That was the junior team(Sub 21 ) not the seniors, anything is possible, I agree there. They Iraq team also did pretty well in the rest of that tourney

I actually think we have good chances to lose all 3 games. Our team is very inexperienced and aren't going to do much without van der Vaart. Not to mention our best and most physical defender somehow starts on the bench (Boulahrouz)..

Fair enough. Incidentally, the Iranians I work with haven't been forceful in said indoctrination. One even agreed that it was Karimi and 10 scrubs. But it's the World Cup, anything can happen.

I still say Mexico pwns them, though. Mexico's pretty damn good.

Here, I did the scores. I figured that Evilo already included NED-SCG results, right? And if I remember correctly, you get 10 *additional* points for a correct score, on top of the 5 for the outcome? If the answer is "no" to any of the questions, Evilo needs to recalculate ;)

Thanks #16, the standings look good, and yes you are right in your point count.

Anyway, you posted a scoreless draw.
If nobody scores, you get 5 points for the scorer if it ends as a scoreless draw.
However, I thought I'd let you know you had the right of putting one scorer even if you predict a 0-0 draw.

Australia 1-0 Japan (Viduka)
USA 0-2 Czech Republic (Koller)
Italy 1-0 Ghana (Toni)

EDIT: Changed the scorer in the USA/Czech game.

Hehe, leading both pools... :D

It's getting really painful with all these pages, and I could have made a mistake very easily.

Here was your prediction :

Australia - Japan 2-1 (Nakamura)
You have 5 points for the outcome. 0 for the score, 0 for the scorer. Total for this game : 5 points


USA - Czech Rep. 1-2 (Rosicky)
5 points for the outcome, 5 points for the first Rosicky goal, 5 points for his second. Total for this game : 15 points


Italy - Ghana 1-1 (Essien)
You didn't get the outcome, nor the score, nor the scorer. Total : 0 point.

15+5=20

You got 20 points, not 25. :)

I edited after this game.
Only two guys grabbed 5 points.

I believe i should have more points

my first prediction was:

holland 2 - serbia 0 (RvN)
Iran 1 - Mexico 1 (Borgetti)
Portugal 2 - Angola 0 (C. Ronaldo)

So thats 10 points

second prediction was:
Australia 1 - Japan 1 (Viduka)
Czech 2 - USA 0 ( Koller)
Italy 2 - Ghana 0 (Del Piero)

Thats another 5+5+5+10 = 25

third prediction was:
Togo 0 - S Korea 0
France 2 - Switzerland 0 (Henry)
Brazil 2 - Croatia 2 (Kaka)

thats 5 points

So total should be 10+25+5 = 40 points

Standings updated with last night's game.
We have a new leader!
It's very tight at the top right now, especially among the first 5 teams.
That said, any team can still come back with a couple of accurate outcomes.

It's an on again off again thing with me. I keep forgetting. (Evilo if it is too much trouble for you to keep counting me, you can ignore my predictions. it's up to you. I know I will keep forgetting).

Ecuador - Costa Rica 2-0 (Delgado)

Sweden - Paraguay 2-1 (Larsson)

Ecuador - Costa Rica 1-1 (Delgado)

(Evilo if it is too much trouble for you to keep counting me, you can ignore my predictions. it's up to you. I know I will keep forgetting)
Don't worry, not much trouble.
I count everyone (or I try to anyway) and everyone will miss a prediction or two before the end anyway.

We have a new leader!

Predictions for friday..

Argentinia vs. Serbia: 2-1 (Crespo)
Netherlands vs. Ivory Coast: 2-1 (Drogba)
Mexico vs. Angola: 2-0 (Bravo)

Scores edited.
Please check if everything's right.

O=S is pulling away.
However, the big winner was #16 who racked up 45 points!

My predictions :

Argentina 1-0 Serbia (Crespo)
Holland 1-2 Côte d'Ivoire (Drogba)
Mexico 1-0 Angola (Bravo)

Argentina 1-1 Serbia (Riquelme)
Holland 2-1 Côte d'Ivoire (Van Persie)
Mexico 2-0 Angola (Marquez)

I'm back! Wow do conferences on dredging SUCK. Only saw the Ukraine (and my predictions) got trashed by Spain. Nuts. I wanted the Ukraine to win, not endure a worse loss than even the USA-Czech result.

Friday
Argentina vs. Serbia & Montenegro 1-0 (Crespo)
Holland vs. Ivory Coast 1-1 (Drogba)
Mexico vs. Angola 2-0 (Bravo)

Argentina 2-0 Serbia (Saviola)
Holland 1-1 Côte d'Ivoire (Van Nistelroy)

Netherlands vs. Ivory Coast: 3-2 (Van Nistelrooy)

Argentinia vs. Serbia: 2-1 (Riquelme)
Netherlands vs. Ivory Coast: 1-2 (Drogba)
Mexico vs. Angola: 2-0 (Marquez off a corner!)

Argentina - Serbia 2:1
(Crespo)

Holland - Ivory Coast 2:2
(Drogba)

Mexico - Angola 2:0
(Zinha)

Argentina - Serbia 1-1 (Crespo)
Holland - Ivory Coast 3-2 (Drogba)
Mexico - Angola 1-0 (Bravo)

How about we change the rating system a little for the round of the last 16?

Here are my suggestions:

- submit the predictions via PM or Email to two posters, who count the point (Evilo, Belgian Fan or me for example.)--> the reason. O=S could just pad the lead and roll on dice.

- double the score for each item so that poster in the midfield still have the chance to get to the top.

What do you think?

I'm not too much for it.
I don't think O=S can cheat anyway, since we are many who can catch him, and we won't have the same predictions.
Really, nothing's done yet, not even close.

My two cents...

Argentina 2-1 Serbia (Crespo)
Netherlands 0-2 Ivory Coast (Drogba)
Mexico 2-0 Angola (Bravo)

Mexico 2-0 Angola (Borgetti)

Borgetti is out for the tournament.



And it's really nice to see you have the same habit predicting football and hockey games for your favorite team. You're always trying to jinx it aren't you :)

Ah thanks.

And yes on the second, but for this game, I really, really expect a loss.

Saturday:
Portugal - Iran 3-0 (Pauleta)
Czech Republic - Ghana 2-0 (Heinz)
Italy - USA 3-0 (Totti)

Fairly likely that I may re-do my Saturday predictions tonight or tomorrow, but here they are in case I don't have the chance to.

Well, I didn't see THAT Argentina blowout coming...

Saturday
Portugal vs. Iran 3-1 (Pauleta)
Czech Republic vs. Ghana 2-0 (Rosicky)
USA vs. Italy 2-1 (Johnson)

Yeah, I'm still pulling for the big USA upset. Way I figure it, if the USA beats Italy and Ghana, they can move on (provided Italy loses or ties the Czechs). We really haven't had one so far this WC, have we?

Total points: 135

Saturday:

Portugal vs. Iran: 2-0 (Simao)
Czech Republic vs. Ghana: 2-1 (Nedved)
Italy vs. USA: 2-0 (Totti)

EDIT: Portugal won't score three goals. I altered my prediction a little.

Total points: 135

Saturday:

Portugal vs. Iran: 3-0 (Simao)
Czech Republic vs. Ghana: 2-1 (Nedved)
Italy vs. USA: 3-0 (Toni)

What? Oh you meant the flag. :biglaugh:

What do you think?

I like the idea to double the scores for the knockout rounds. Like "Double Jeopardy" ;)

I added up the scores. Mole was the day's winner with 25 points, which helps him jump into a second place tie with Evilo.

Thanks #16 for the update.
I'm fine with the double score as well, but only for the knockout stage. Not right now (doesn't make sense to me).

My predictions :
Portugal 3-0 Iran (Pauleta)
Czech Republic 1-1 Ghana (Nedved)
Italy 3-0 USA (Toni)

New rules for the round of the last sixteen and following:

You pick a score for each game and a scorer.
Example : Team A 2-1 Team B (Scorer X).
You get 10 points if the outcome is right (Team A wins).
You get 20 points if the score is right (Team A wins 2-1).
You get 10 points per goal scored by your scorer (10 points if scorer X scores 1, 20 points if he scores 2, etc...).
---
Something else, since those will be knockout games.

What should be done with the score in case of an Overtime and SO game? Overtime winner or SO winner? Can't we try to arrange a way to predict a game going in OT or SO and the winner?

Example:

1.) Germany vs. Sweden: 3-2 (2-2) OT (Ballack)
-> 10 pts for the correct outcome+ 20 pts for the correct score+ 10 pts one for Ballack goal & 5 points for the correct OT outcome+ 10 pts for the correct OT score+ 5 pts for the correct scorer

Or should we also double the score for OT?

2.) Germany vs. Sweden: 7-6 (2-2) SO (Ballack)
-> 10 pts for the correct outcome+ 20 pts for the correct score+ 10 pts one for Ballack goal & 15 pts for the correct SO outcome+ 25 points for the correct SO score.

:dunno:

Hmm, OT scores seem a bit complicated to me.

Portugal vs. Iran 1-0 (Pauleta)
Czech Republic vs. Ghana 2-1 (Nedved)
Italy vs. US 3-1 (Toni)

I was thinking about this yesterday.. How about you predict a scoreline after 90 minutes (which will then be scored just like the group games, except for double points), and if you post a draw then you bold the team you predict will win it in overtime/penalties, for extra points.

And perhaps also extra points if your goalscorer scores the winning goal in overtime?

That would be OK.
When you post a draw, you can bold the team that you think will win in OT.
Scorers' goals can be awarded 5 more points per OT goal.

However, if you post a draw with a team in bold and that this team wins in regulation time, you don't get any point.

oops, i had a long night last night so i will post the predicitions for the next two games:

Czech Republic vs Ghana 3-0 (Rosicky)
Italy vs USA 1-2 ( Mcbride)

Total score: 150 points

Damn it, I was the only one to predict a Ghana positive result, but only predicted a draw.
Next time, I really have to trust my instincts.

Karppa, could you please avoid editing your post AFTER a game was played?
You edited your after the Portugal game, and I honestly can't say if your Portugal score was made before or edited.
Since I trust you, I'll believe you, but it's not really fair to others.
So if you guys want to edit a scored, make a new post about it before the next game.

Anyway, update made.

My predictions :
Japan 0-2 Croatia (Prso)
Brazil 2-1 Australia (Adriano)
France 1-0 South Korea (Henry)

Monday:
Togo vs. Switzerland: 1- 2 (Barnetta)
Saudia- Arabia vs. Ukraine: 0- 3 (Shevchenko)
Spain vs. Tunesia: 3-0 (Villa)

1st game: 5+5= 10
2nd game: 5+5= 10
3rd game: 5
= 25

155+25= 180 points. You must have missed those last five points Evilo.

I've just realized I didn't count Barnetta as scorer.
I'll see who got screwed and I'll edit the scores.

Fixed.
Three of you didn't have the good score, but I've added the 5 points now.
