World cup predictions!!
At work we do a predictions spreadsheet for the group stages of the Euro's and World Cup. Basically you get the fixtures list and predict the scores. If you get the correct result you get 1 pt and if you get the exact score you get 3pts. So….
You predict England 1 - 2 Spain
The result comes in as England 3 - 4 Spain
You get 1 pt for the correct Result (England lose - lol I'm a Scot :wink: - and yes I know we're not even in it lol).
If you predicted England 3 - 4 Spain however you'd get 3 pts.
If you predicted England 4 - 3 Spain you get 0pts etc, etc…
We also do it on goal difference i.e how many goals out you were.
Can I have a show of hands to see who's up for it before I put the effort in? From your side, all I need is a yes and then an e-mail address at a later date. I'll post up the predictions before each game and then update a table for us all.
Interested parties please post here. I may even try and get a small prize on the go (not relating to the club's funds etc - out of my own pocket)

Here's how the predictions spreadsheet looks with some example scores to show how it works:-
Here's looking forward to the World Cup Kick off in June.

SSssssssh I'll set up a sticky for this and general World Cup chatter if it's ok with the powers that be :wink: After all, it's only 3 weeks of our life wondering if a metatarsel or bobbins referee or ropey sending off etc etc denies us our god given right to lift some silverware

What I can do (for those that want it) is put everyone's predictions into the spreadsheet and send you all the final version. You can then input the real scores game by game and the rest will be done for you. It'll then allow you to see how everything is going for you/others game by game?… I'll also put the table up for everyone. Do you know what I mean? Makes it more interesting if we know game by game who's got what points …. instead of just me knowing :dontknow:
Looking forward to this world cup… everyone needs a bit of a lift after recent events!!! Hope you English boys do well this time round seeing as none of the other GB teams managed to qualify :roll: . Bring on the world cup!!!

Anyone think there are dark horses out there? If Greece can throw a spanner in the works then there may well be others that can too :dontknow: …. hope the weather is good for it.
Some of the games are in 3D… anyone watched one of those prem games in 3D and if so how was it?
