Jake's World Cup Predictor Blog

A World Cup blog for predictions and any other random thoughts that I might have over the next 6 weeks or so. Should be updated with scores, predictions and rants about poor refereeing, lucky Germans and why we can't take penalties.

Rules & Scoring

  1. All predictions must be received before Germany v Costa Rica kick-off on Friday at 5pm.
  2. You only need to predict group stages scorelines - then teams to make last 16, last 8 etc.
  3. Successfully predicting exact score will give you 5 pts
  4. Correct result (e.g. 3-1 - and result is 2-0) will be 3 pts
  5. Successful 1 team goal score gives a bonus of 1 pt (e.g. 3-1 - and result is 0-1) will give you 1 pt
  6. Similarly, if you predict 3-1 and the score is 3-0 - you will receive 3 pts for correct result + 1 bonus pt for one team's correct goals
  7. Last 16 teams are 5 pts each
  8. Last 8 teams are 6 pts each
  9. Last 4 teams are 7 pts each
  10. Finalists are 8 pts each
  11. Predicting Winners is 10 pts
  12. 3rd Place is 1 pt

That's it!
