There has certainly been some surprises so far!,

Ok, as no entries yet, here is the complete list of 16 games for correct score predictions.

Each game will allow you to score 3pts for a correct score and 1pt for a correct result.

World Cup Prediction GROUP STAGE
----------------------------------------
Interestingly, predicting the groups was far easier than most thought!
Scotlands group was the most correctly predicted, with 13 getting full bonus pts, and only 2 incorrectly predicting 2nd/3rd places. Brazil were easily chosen group winners by everyone.
The hardest group to predict, was Group D, with USA topping that one. Only 13 correct positions were predicted by all 15 entries. That's a poor return on 60 attempts!
No-one correctly guessed the country finishing bottom of that group.
Second hardest, was Group H, with Spain correctly chosen by everyone, however, the remaining 45 attempts for group positions positions were only correctly chosen 3 times!
Only two correctly guessed the country finishing bottom.
Group K surprised many too, with no-one correctly predicting the group winner, or even 2nd place.
The teams everyone correctly guessed positions finishing were ; Brazil, Haiti, Belgium, Spain, Iraq, Argentina, and Jordan.

On a re-check, my score for you is still as it was.

You correctly predicted 6 Groups, which gains you a total of 90pts plus you also scored 9 other correct group positions, which x 3pts adds an additional 27pts, therefore 117pts.

Please feel free to tell me what you believe I missed.

Groups Correct -
C - F - G - I - J - L

Countries correct in other positions
Mexico
Qatar
USA
Paraguay
Germany
Curacao
Spain
DR Congo
Uzbekistan

Only 9 of the 15 entries submitted correct scores.... feel free to join in, but I'll only score those games NOT yet started.

ironpsycho predicted the game after the 8pm kick off, therefore that prediction will not count.

Tonights games have begun, with Japan vs Brazil underway...

These games remain if scores submitted ;

Germany vs Paraguay
Netherlands vs Morocco
Ivory Coast vs Norway
France vs Sweden
Mexico vs Ecuador
England vs DR Congo
Belgium vs Senegal
USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina
Spain vs Austria
Portugal vs Croatia
Switzerland vs Algeria
Australia vs Egypt
Argentina vs Cape Verde
Colombia vs Ghana

Shouldn't I have 3 points for Bosnia- Herzegovina being 3rd in Group B?
