World Cup 2022 prediction competition

[Colly]

Got it. I'm going to pull these altogether hopefully by kickoff, if I'm late I've gone 2-1 Ecuador for the opener.

[Colly]

Just sent out all the predictions to ensure no funny business. We've got 11 in this time, and I'll do some summaries of winner picks etc over the next few days.

@DavidMarrio, given we're not quite underway if you want to change your Benzema pick feel free. I'll accept any changes ahead of tomorrow's games unless you pick an Ecuadorian who scores 9 today.

Martinez from Argentina i'll go for

It's only only a list of the fixtures, so if you still want to feel free to just PM or Email a list of score predictions, 4 semi finalists, the winner and the name of the top scorer? I can resend but it doesn't sound like the issue is the file?

No I think it's my stuff, not you at all mate! I'll work on it today (Qatar 0-0 Ecuador for the opener btw)! Cheers Colly

[Colly]

It'll probably be Tuesday night next time I mess about (Mondays are a kids activity nightmare post work), so if you wouldn't mind posting your Monday and Tuesday predictions here (plus your winner, semi finalists and top scorer) you're in!

[Colly]

@Szumi - A Polack Don't forget, I don't want to put an asterisk next to your name when you've seen the first few teams form...

[Szumi]

Just emailed you the form from my work email!

 

Just realized I forgot Golden Boot winner in the form: Neymar!

[Colly]

Got it, I'll resend the full list round tomorrow and post an early league table.

[Colly]

I've now sent all predictions by email again so we're properly underway. I'll post a league table after France finish, but to start with have some lovely pies of everyone's selections. Excuse the weird formatting on some of the French lads, perils of mobile Excel and I'm not going back to the laptop...

 

[Colly]

And the first table after 8 games. Shout if you think anything looks wrong, I'm hoping not...

I don't appear to be top?

[Naitch]

You are in the range of 9 to 5 though!

[Colly]

I could change you to 5 to 9 to look more optimistic?

[Colly]

All change after the first round of fixtures, my strong start collapsed quickly and @Baddars flying. @9 to 5 no longer in the 9 to 5 range.

Some big scores and tiny scores meaning not many scores being predicted.

 

[9 to 5]

This is racist against me.

[Colly]

Bit of a @Naitch surge yesterday, helped by those Mbappe goals. There's a 5 point bonus for tournament top scorer that he's currently in line for too, I thought best to leave off the 'as it stands' for now.

[Colly]

End of the second round of group games, so an updated table, plus a quick chart of how first and second rounds have compared ( @damhausen). Still lots to play for.

[gunnar hendershow]

One might say I have bottled it.

[Dang117]

If Argentina goes out it was a typo I meant to put Englandtina 

[Gorka]

I might be the first person to have a semi-final team out at the group stage.

Cheers Denmark!
