Name David De Gea
Job Loris Karius

After the insta football troll joke which is fully understandable for the night game I think it was an excellent game to watch with an impressive Cristiano Ronaldo which alone lead Portugal to not lose the game against a really good Spain if we compare it with 4 years ago when they were eliminated since in the group stage. Yet I got 0 points from 2 latest games of today so being in the last positions of the bitcointalk league so far.

Slava Ukraini!
Uruguay 1:0 Egypt. Suarez and co wasted quite many good momentsto score, but they managed to score late goal.
Iran 1:0 Morocco. Biggest surprise so far. Morocco started very intensive and dominated through whole match. But goalkeeper of Iran had a great match and he didn't let to score. Morocco player scored nice own goal. Now Morocco can forget their dreams about reaching next round. I predicted 1:1 and I'm not happy about the result, as most of us here
Portugal 3:3 Spain. Best match to watch so far. Didn't expected such high scoring game. De Gea didn't best match today... And Nacho - what a goal! Spain dominated, but Ronaldo showed masterclass again. Another bad match in predictor for me.
Tomorrow 4 matches will be played. I predict that France, Argentina, Denmark and Croatia will winn, but I so fa didn't predicted final scores.
And FIFA website sucks - it's impossible to login so often

Man that result messed up my accumulator, and by a own goal as well. I knew that it would be a tight game, and really thought a draw was on the cards. I guess it wasn't to be. Well let's just hope my other two accumulators come in.

Iran actually have a few hidden gems among the rough, and even though you could argue they were outclassed they defended fairly well. It's that defense I thought would of hold out from the barrage of Moroccan attacks. I guess I was right on that, but in no way did I see them actually winning the tie.

I guess this is the first unexpected result in this world cup tournament, I didn't expect Iran to be able to achieve a victory against Morocco at all, the best result I expected from Iran was just a draw against Morocco, it seems that anything is possible to happen in football.

Despite Morocco dominating the ball possession in this match, they just can't seems to break down Iran solid defense, by the way, is there anyone who had successfully predicted the match result between Morocco vs Iran?

To be fair, it was an own goal and Morocco dominated throughout the game (as expected), they just failed to put it into the net. Both teams were pretty disappointing, but fair play to Iran though as they gave it their best even as underdogs. Their keeper deserved man of the match (not sure who was given it). I think Spain and Portugal will have no issues finishing off either team though.

I doubt anyone backed them on the predictor, though maybe some people chose the draw.

Well I surely backed Morocco as they are the reigning champions of African Cup. I thought they would not have any difficulties to finish off Iran. What we have mistaken though ,all of us who backed Morocco is that we didn't care to see that Iran had only conceded 5 goals during all the phase of qualifiers. Probably we should analyse more the games, this is an advice to myself first and to anyone taking part in this competition.

Edit: Probably the predictor isn't working right now because of heavy load, was working perfectly until now.

Working now.

Iran stole the win , I guess very few people went for Iran to win so probably no one predicted that score
Morocco didn't play well , they dominated the ball but they weren't able to be really dangerous with their chances and that's how football works when a team doesn't score

Every thing is working fine for me with Windows 10 Pro or Linux Mint as I have dual boot with Firefox latest browser. I am glad I got some points from Uruguay win as I had predicted 0-3 win for Uruguay. Now I am waiting for Morocco to win and I think they will have an easy win this afternoon.

The site seems to work better on some browsers than others. They also have an app that seems to be more efficient for me. It's on Google App store and I'm sure it's on iTunes as well so maybe try that if you're having issues. It's best to fill in all your predictions when you get chance just in case you can't get onto the website for whatever reason, but if you can you can always change your scores right up until kick off but best to have at least something down.

Temporary forum vacation
Hello all friends,,, I am sorry I joined it late but I entered all the invitation codes and I think it is finally working. But FIFA logs me off every time I move to new page, so I managed to put in brackets and predictions until Page 3, but not further.

The points system confused me, but I got zero so far from today. I thought opening was a draw, and I thought today Egypt would win, but I must remember, I know very little about football on the international scene.

I've got one accumulator which has Morocco to draw. I also think its going to be a close one, but let's be honest I've been way off my predictions so far Cheesy

I also have Portugal and Spain to draw on that exact same bet. Yep there you go there's the doubt setting in....

Same I was sweating for that. I was listening to it on the radio and I have about 3 accumulators riding on that result for uruguay. I do feel for Egypt though.

I've also got three accumulators going that needed Uruguay but also Morocco to win, which they should, but I think it will also be a close game like this one was. If Morocco win I'll be happy because I covered my bases with the last game today and have all three outcomes on the Spain vs Portugal game so I can't lose. The draw will get me the most money though.

I'm glad Uruguay got that late goal because all my accumulators would have been fucked otherwise  Cheesy, but Egypt deserved the point at least so shame for them. Game was pretty dull apart from Cavani's three strikes. Had 2-0 down on the predictor so another goal would have been nice, but I'll take the points for a win. Did anyone have the draw or Egypt win? Shame Salah didn't come on because it could have made all the difference, but they probably didn't wanna risk it.

Unfortunately I did bet for Uruguay Asian -1.00 as I thought Salah wouldn't play and he didn't for first half but nevertheless Egypt played very well the first half by closing every open gap for Uruguay. As for the points it is just the beginning, there is time.

Yep, now I look a little silly as he's starting on the bench. Well, my prediction doesn't change really. I think I had it down as 3-1 for Uruguay. But if salah isn't put on early I don't see them scoring.

anybody else having problems logging to fifa ?? I'm getting Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 when I try to log in
I guess I will miss some points for Egypt vs Uruguay since I can't put more predictions like the free kicks yesterdays predictions  Sad

Yeah, wasn't working for me either. I wouldn't worry about it though as everybody else likely missed out on it too since it only becomes available an hour or so before kick off. Game's just kicked off now.
