I have actually done much better in the first half of this game than I thought possible. I feel some sense of vindication considering I was pretty darn close on Germany-Saudi Arabia and that I picked the US to beat Portugal. Dumb luck pays off. Let’s try again and see how it works out.

Interesting - I fed my new predictions, old predictions that remain and the actual results into a WC spreadsheet and it now seems that Italy are going to meet Brazil in the final. Losing semi finalists are Portugal and Argentina. You heard it here first folks!
Groups are a lot tighter than my initial predictions indicated though. I’ve got France and Denmark finishing level on points AND goals scored & conceded.

Woolley, If you cant make it, I will amalgamate your scores with Aro’s entry, as he wasn’t in the first round. You will have to confer in later rounds, but other than that Everyone is happy.
