2010 World Cup Prediction Competition

[OneFootInTheGrave]

well at least I would be doing better ... but it felt there were more 1:1 games than it really was the case...

ah well... almost guessed one right today, if only Korea did not score an own goal

Again very few points earned today, only 4 people got 4 of them: Imran Siddiqui, SuperBeaverInc., Bantams and Rashiminos. Almost everyone else got 2 points, a few got none.

Wow, and I thought we had few point being earned over the last few days, this might just be an all-time low for a full match day... I'm pretty sure we're hitting all-time lows for % of predicted outcomes over the whole tournament (to date) anyway, usually at least the top third of the ranking has well over 50% IIRC, now only chegel comes even close at 57%.

Well done Weik though, he join chegel at the top Good day for Apolyton as well, other than Weik and Red Door, all the points went you guys...

A bit more of a normal day today, with plenty of points to go around for virtually everyone. Chegel and SuperBeaverInc. win the day with 8 points each (and now occupy 1st and 2nd place respectively) but plenty of people earned 6 or 4 points as well.

The ranking for Apolyton alone is getting pretty close with Dauphin, C0ckney and Kitschum now all at 26 points.
