Summer is officially here and World Cup fever is building.......isn't it? Anyway to add some spice to the tournment I am inviting all posters to patricipate. All I ask is that if you start, you continue to predict till at least the end of the group stages, although through till the final would be even better. Scoring: Group stages: Correct Result 1pt, exact score 3pts Last 16: Correct Result 2pts, exact score 4pts Qtr Finals: Correct result 3pts, exact score 5pts Semi Final: Correct result 4pts, exact score 6pts Final: Correct result 5 pts, exact score 7pts All results after extra time. After group stages the possibility of penalties arises. I will award 1 bonus point for predicting that result, even if you get the winner of the game wrong I will post 5 threads 1. Group stage 2. Last 16 3. Quarters 4. Semis 5. Final As the transition from Group stages to last 16 is immediate, the last 16 will be posted early, before final games are known and add to it as ties become known. You will need to log regularly during the end of the group stages to post your next predictions. Good luck. We all know we are fighting to come second to Rebel, but who knows he could finally be toppled!
