Lot's of discussion for Argentina questions so I guess you guys liked it. Feel free to give some feedback on questions, they are not set in stone. We want to make them interesting which I believe we accomplished, but we also want to make them in a way that your answers get a bit more of spread. It really isn't that exciting if everybody goes for the same outcome, we will have to make more effort on this part I guess.
That was too scary I thought i'm going to lose another point when Argentina suddenly scored their second goal around 80ish mins and was only one corner away from killing my prediction but luckily Mexico got desperate and Argentina stopped pushing during those last minutes.
4/5 points so far, now I just need the other half of my predictions to not fumble.

That was very close. I thought I had lost, but after seeing your comment, I went back to check the match stats and discovered that they only had 4 corners in the entire game after ticking the -1.5 handicaps and most possession, so it's 4/5 for me as well, Giroud's early sub ruined my day, but it's still good. He's one goal away from becoming France's all-time leading scorer, and I see him doing so in the next game.
Argentina-Mexico was a fantastic game, with Messi always delivering when expected. He's still in good shape and doesn't appear to be ready to retire anytime soon. It was a much-needed victory, and now they have Poland to deal with. another difficult group

4 corners for Argentina is tragic 🤒
I believe Saudi Arabia's government gesture towards their victory against Argentina must have definitely influenced the players performance today, they've been the better side clearly attacking and pressing the Polish sides as they weren't the underdogs of the group before the opening match, Szczęsny with an outstanding first half performance to keep his team ahead after yet another controversial penalty was awarded in this tournament, at least this time it was with VAR's help.
I admit that KSA played very confidently today (KSA pressure on poland is very large), surely that came about because they beat Argentina in the first match. VAR made it difficult for Argentina in the match against KSA, this time KSA cannot rely on it because Poland has a different strategy.
~snip
Saudi Arabia play today was a lot more than I expected from them (before this one, I told everyone, even Saudi Arabia attacked Argentina after they conceived goal, and we (Serbia) just continued to form bus in front of our goal against Brasil, but they are obviously good team)
but, Poland scored, Saudis missed penalty, and everything goes down the sink, points for Poland, but chance against Mexico is still there for them
From what i watched Saudi Arabia played really well but just couldnt score,maybe if they scored that penalty they would have won and we would have had a completely different match. Our Serbia didnt attack Brazil and we didnt play like in the qualifications and that was the main problem for our loss,but against Cameroon we must attack.

Usually Argentina wins against Mexico, specially when they really have to, however the question is trickier than it seems because of the possession, Mexico usually plays for possession and should have most of the possession even if they get wrecked in goals, as happened in 2010, a 3-1 win for Argentina but the Mexicans got more possession than Argentina.
I would not be surprised at all to see a solid Argentina win by 2 or 3 goals and Mexico still with more possession.
EDIT: in the 2010 game Argentina was with 51% possession despite the 3-1, I don't know why I remembered the Mexicans with more possession. However got only two corner kicks in the whole game, what makes the question even more unpredictable.
Here are the full stats for the 2010 game:

I think If the Answer to that question will be a yes, it will be dependent on how many goals Argentina wins buy, If Argentina are going to win the game by the -1.5 goals handicap, then I strongly believe they'll have the needed amount of corners and most of the ball possession to go with that, however if they answer is going to be No, a lot of clauses in questions will also end being a No, I guess that's why I settled for a No, I don't see Argentina winning by 2-3 goals without fulfilling every other of those requirements.

Argentina know Mexico way better and have a lead performance against them lately. 3 0 win for 🇦🇷 would'nt suprise me
I can't find myself in the second round. Are responses still being processed? I am very glad that I guessed the end of the Lewandowski curse and decided to check the table but did not find myself 
I see cells with blank names, and given that this time it didn't ask for a username, maybe you're having trouble matching email and usernames?
Yeah that was our mistake and we asked that people send cryptofrka an Email with their username and bet id number. Please do so if you did not already. I see cells with blank names, and given that this time it didn't ask for a username, maybe you're having trouble matching email and usernames?Lots of surprises yesterday, a bit better today but still anything can happen. For instance if Argentina losses tonight against Mexico it is game over for them. That should be one hell of a game. Already getting ready for it

By the way i want to share how lucky (naive) i was:
Of the four favorites, only Senegal lived up to expectations. I think that multi-bets in the group stage are unlikely to be profitable for anyone (few people make multi-bets from bets on outsiders), but if so, those were odds of 100 and above.

It was a fortunate goal for Lewa as the defender gave him a free goal
Lol! That's what it is with this world cup, Lewandowski was unfortunate with two goals, could have scored an hattrick easily but I would have taken that two unlucky goals for him, over the single fortunate one, as he was my captain for the MD2, that hattrick would have done me a great deal, but 1 and 1 assist isn't such a bad one to settle for to be honest, and I'm not going to be changing it.
I had the Lewandowski to score question as Yes, so it's a win, win situation for me
Ahhh Man Lewandoski scored, I said no to that question 🤣no points for me

Next is France vs Denmark and I don't have any vision for this game as last times Denmark beat France twice and also was in front on the group...but World Cup games are different and I do expect high class football from both. I'm also expecting goals from France in 1st half , as France and Spain are the only teams to score 2+ goals in first half so far.
Some stats again before the games begins.

It already is, it was added to the first spreadsheet, you can find it in the first page of this thread, second or third post I think, then in the spreadsheet you find form responses 2 tab, there you go.

Might be hard to find because you need to ckick in the A1 dropbox and select the round 2 spreadsheet(not intuitive at all), so here is the direct link

Lewandowski showed great team work today and decided it is more worth give the ball to someone else that in a better position to score than try and shoot in a not optimal position and maybe get his first World Cup goal. Others need to learn with him, specially Canada, that would've won against Belgium if the players were as eager to get the victory for the team than as they were to be the first goalscorer of Canada in a World Cup.
I hope Lewandowski scores a goal...in the next game
EDIT: he did it and I lost a point
