I also got the 1-1 correct. I really need to start getting more scores right because it's the only way you can win. You only get a few points for guessing the correct winner whereas you get 200-300 points for getting the score right. If you chose it as a joker you double it as well. Has anyone been able to choose a joker for today's games? It's still not letting me choose any now.

^ I could and already did, maybe you already used yours...?

Anyway, Trofo! This is the match! Messi hat trick incoming... Grin

Messi didn't even show for the match let alone scored a goal. Argentina is not a team and it showed. Few close ups of Maradona, Messi and Sanpaoli were really priceless.

I am from Croatia you know. You will receive screen shot of my ticket for this game on PM tomorrow so I can show you how much I believed in Croatia

I played Croatia to win and over 2.5 goals. To be fair I expected a result of 3:1 with Messi scoring one goal. I am too drunk to bother at the moment....

I can't since the beginning of the predictor. Anyway I am happy that a multigame I have placed I got 5 games already in my pocket and I can use Cashout anytime in one of my sportsbet I play. Only 3 games left, Argentina, Brazil and Germany. Probably will wait only for Argentina to win and withdraw. As for the predictor I guess I will be last for the time being and I seem to get correct results but not correct scores, had France 2-1 it ended 1-0.

Edit: Argentina out of the tournament with 101% of the chances and they deserve the worse of the worse after making me lose big tonight. Biggest losers of the tournament and no Croatia is not strong is Argentina who was pathetic in this World Cup.

guess who's back

with today draw , I got my 2nd right score prediction for this world cup and glad my read was right since I backed the draw bet and under 2.5 goals as well
moving to France vs Peru , I started to believe that this world cup is boring and the teams aren't playing real football
it's like teams are not playing for the win but are playing for not to lose , so I guess France vs Peru will have few goals as well and maybe will back a double chance on peru since the odds look nice

Denmark winning so far and looks like it will be an easy win for them. Unfortunately for me I predicted only 1-0 win for Denmark a score which will surely change seeing the game. As for Argentina I predict a win today and even bet on them to win the World Cup because the odd of 11 is irresistable for me.

I'm having a hard time trying to predict the scores today in the Match Predictor. Argentina vs Croatia, I just don't know what to choose, Argentina have the potential to win any match with the likes of Messi & co, but they've been playing so bad lately that I wouldn't be surprised if they lose today. Peru vs France, Peru played really good in the first match, they just weren't clinical enough, if they can fix that they can win today. On the other hand, France barely got the win against Australia but they have such a strong/quality squad that I think we could see something like 4-0...

3 boring games today, highlight was definitely Milad Mohammadi's attempt to throw-in vs Spain...did you guys see it? the guy tried to do a front flip or whatever but failed miserably...best moment in the WC so far.

I only wish he had gone through with it and failed epicly. There's been quite a lot of bad/ fowl throws this tournament and the ref hasn't pulled a single one of them up yet. https://twitter.com/hoeyp18/status/1007653759508500488

LOL the underdogs are providing us with good entertainment, though that one wasn't as spectacular as Mohammadi's...6/10

Can anyone choose a joker match for today's games? The option doesn't seem to be there.

I can.

As I expected, another boring game from Iran vs Spain, it seems that Iran are still sticking to their same defensive strategy again, while hoping for their opponents to get frustrated and commit mistakes so Iran can punish it, despite Spain dominating the ball possession in the first half, they still can't break through Iran solid defense. I wonder if Spain are able to break Iran down in the second half of the match?

All of yesterdays games were pretty dull and they were all quite lucky to scrape wins especially Spain which was practically an own goal. I was really looking forward to the Spain and Portugal games given how they played each other in the first round but I think they both got too complacent. The tournament is very open right now and I wouldn't put money on any team as it stands. I could even see an underdog winning or going very far.

I missed predicting any results today due to having some internet problems at home. Fortunately, I predicted the correct score for Senegal, and hopefully that's at least saved me a little bit.

Senegal are currently my underdogs of the tournament as they have some real players in the team.

Fill in all your scores now. You can change them all at a later date but at least if you forget or can't put them in for whatever reason then you still have something down.

Can anyone choose a joker match for today's games? The option doesn't seem to be there.

Based on what you say I should probably use the Cashout button right now as I only need Spain to win in order to have a winning ticket with Portugal draw no bet, Uruguay win and Spain win. I have the option to Cashout right now but it is only 0.0005 btc win while if I wait it is 0.003 btc win. I think Spain will win but I am a bit worried seeing first half performance.

Spain seems to be way more strategic and advancing than Iran is. And OMG, have you seen that supposedly lucky shot from Iran, nearly equaling up to Spain? Too bad that goal didn't count, so overall Spain did get Iran with Diego's goal

I hope you placed you're bet on Spain

Yes I won the bet yesterday meanwhile have a long ticket with many games. I have the possibility to cashout right now but it is not worth. I am waiting for Argentina to win tonight then I will cashout directly, also France to win. Yesterday predictions I guess no one got any correct result so let's see what happens today.

Indeed, it was boring day in World Cup today and I haven't got many points :/
It was epic moment, especially because it was last minute of match and Irang urgently needed for a goal.
And dive of Pepe was also fun moment Cheesy

(it reminds me El Clasico matches)

So far there was 5 own goals and 10(!) penalties awarded. Pretty big numbers, not sure about penalties, but I can't remember World Cup with so many own goals scored.

Spain was pretty shite today. I have Spain in the final for the bracket challenge, now I'm regreting it.

Anyone got a correct result from Uruguay, highly doubt it but still there is Spain left to play. Seems like another day just like yesterday games without many people getting correct scores. I also have Uruguay and Russia for the group A to come out on top but to lazy to go and find how are my other groups in the bracket challenge. Only thing I remember is Brazil vs Spain in final.

^ Pretty much the same except for a couple matches or so past the KO stages.

You really think Germany can win back to back WC trophies, or it just happened when you were doing your bracket? Grin

Well they probably won't now if they play like they did verses Mexico. I think I chose Brazil on my other one and would have chose them if I could have edited it before but you couldn't. They haven't done much either.. Spain and Portugal have probably been by far the better teams so far.

I admit, my bracket past the KO stage was based on how I felt at that time. Lol. 'I pick this and this and this...'. Cheesy

Well how else are you meant to play it? Cheesy

^ Yup. I got Uruguay and Russia to go thru to the KO stages in that group.

I also had Uruguay and Russia to go through and in that order. I would have probably backed Egypt second had Salah been fit from the start, but even still, home advantage is usually a huge boost and Russia might even finish top of their group right now, but I think Uruguay should finish them off.
