The World Cup has sneaked up on me and there is only a day to go!!
So a bit late with this year's World Cup predictions competition.
Usual predictions rules - 3 Points for a correct score, 1 Point for a correct result.
Overall winner will be decided on the total points at the end of the competition (64 Games).
I've thought long and hard about the knockout stages and had to come up with some different rules to avoid confusion later.
Predict a winner and points awarded after either 90 or 120 minutes, but if anyone predicts a draw in the later stages they must pick a winner on penalties to have a chance of points.
Example - if I say "Brazil 1 England 1, England on pens" and the game ends 1-1 and Brazil win on pens I get nothing, if England win on pens I'd get 3 points, if the game ended up 0-0 and England won on pens I would get 1 point, no points if you don't pick a penalty winner.
Hopefully that makes sense :)
Also hoping a few of you will join in, plenty of time to catch up if you miss a few.
