2010 FIFA World Cup Bracket

Such a shame… I updated my scores yesterday to better reflect the fact that this is a low scoring tournament. Since then, 11 goals have been scored in three games :frowning:

Hehe, closest I’ve come on being correct so far. Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez even scored the winning goal, although that was on the long counter and not on a header. Unfortunate for my prediction, France weren’t even up to one goal today.

Woot - finally a correct score. Proving that even a broken watch is garbage.

Me too!! I actually forgot what I had entered, just to see I had both this game as Ghana- Australia correct:D Up into joined second!!!

What on earth was I thinking predicting Portugal 0-0 North Korea? Naturally everybody else had a Portugal win, and now I’ve slipped back into mid-table. Only consolation is that I don’t think anybody had the correct score. Howie Reynolds did have 6-0 but was robbed of the extra point right at the end.

Here’s hoping for some more accurate predictions for the Group of 16.

Still contemplating.

17-5 since Sunday with three correct scores (two today) to move from the back of the pack to third place!

After a pretty rough patch in the middle there, a strong run today has me back in first at the end of the first round. Apparently I’m in 1858th right now, but out of how many I can’t seem to discover.

Wow - nailed the score on the Uruguay game today and moved up 1001 places! Woo hoo!

Forgot to put my picks in until after the first game. I had Uruguay winning 3-2, so it cost me 4 points.

…aaaaaand I just dropped 850 places after the US game.

Dammit! That last minute stupid penalty by the Dutch keeper led to a penalty kick and messed up my score prediction! Oh, well. I’ll take the 4 pts.

Me too - I had it 2-0 to the Dutch. Stupid PK!

Huge props to Footballisplayedwithyourfeet for not being the giant chicken$&^t that I was and actually having the balls to pick The Netherlands. I wanted to… I told myself to… and then I argued myself out of it.

Well done sir. Well done.

Thanks. I did the same thing with the Germans, I didn’t want them to win or anything (unlike my feelings about Holland), but convinced myself I couldn’t pick them over Argentina. :smack:

Being down in the standings, I had no choice but to pick Uruguay for this game. Which will likely end up with me finishing farther down the list. I like the odds better of Uruguay winning than of Netherlands winning AND picking the score correctly (while others don’t).

Soooooo … I’ve never won a bracket before. Yay me!

Congratulations! I still don’t understand the scoring in this thing, but I think it somehow worked in my favor.
