You decided to send France and Argentina home?

Yes. I did predict them as group winners, but that was only to make it less obvious that I'm fixing the results. That's also why I let others lead for now.

[notyoueither]

Ahhh. Who wins?

[Robert Plomp]

Paul, when will you let the USA attack Iraque ?
Thanks for letting Feyenoord win the UEFA cup last year !

For sure since you're obviously an Ajax-fan.

[MikeH]

My incorrect group winners are killing me.

Paul: Predict 0-1 for Mexico-Italy. That's what I predicted and I got Turkey right. You realise that as the organiser of this competition I decide the results of the matches.

yeah, sure.

[Ecthy]

Paul, shouldn't I have an odd number as a score? I think guessed 3 group winners right.

(Spain, Brazil, Germany)

[Paul]

Ecthelion, you also got one point because Italy finished second.

The spreadsheet has been uploaded.

I started a new thread for the second round matches. You can find it here. Please post predictions for the second round in that thread.

But Stew's score has moved recently. ie, 3rd batch of 1st round games.

Zobo. But how did he get points off the bat, then nothing.

I mean, I'm a f*cking Canuck who joined late and I'm out pacing the both of them, barely.

Look, some of us are pretty embarrased by our performance, and our only consolation is that there are some people doing worse.

If it now turns out that the people with the worst scores are banned, dead, missed the first 20 games, don't have internet access or, even worse, play rugby, the shame will be too much to bear.

No matter how valid your excuse for doing badly, keep it to yourself!

[Wernazuma III]

I know it's late, but my internet connection failed
