    Well, we have a prediction game here with the system of points. The one who wins it should definitely be awarded. I wonder, however, would @Jalily‌ permit any badges for the non-BG related prediction.

    Right now, we have @bengoshi , @Montresor_SP‌ , @Mhamza‌ , @Blackraven‌ , @Pibaro , @Dungeonnoob‌ , @booinyoureyes‌ and @Anduin‌ in the competition. Please, @Dungeonnoob‌ and @booinyoureyes‌ , don't forget to name the 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams in the tournament in order not to miss points for the right prediction.

    BTW, only 35 hours to the kick-off! Oh my God! This countdown began at 44 days and now it's less than a day and a half.

    I would like to make a prediction for every single game in the tournament.
    I'm starting with:

    13/06/2014

    Brasil - Croatia 2 - 1 ( 1 )

    @Pibaro‌

    Thumbs up!

    to everyone:

    I think that everyone can decide if you're giving a match-by-match prediction or not. Guessing the right outcome will give 1 point and guessing the right score will provide 2 points. You're free to either not to predict games as they go by at all, or to predict several games (even one if you like), or to predict every single match. You're completely free!

    When I will come here, I will put your predictions into an xls table so that everyone can check the latest version.

    Because the next 4 days are a long weekend in my country and I can't be here at the weekend, I give predictions regarding the first 11 matches.

    Brazil - Croatia 2:0
    Mexico - Cameroon 2:1
    Spain - Netherlands 2:2
    Chile - Australia 2:0
    Colombia - Greece 0:1
    Côte d'Ivoire - Japan 2:3
    Uruguay - Costa Rica 3:0
    England - Italy 1:1
    Switzerland - Ecuador 1:0
    France - Honduras 4:0
    Argentina - Bosnia-Herzegovina 3:1

    Feel free to join.

    I will put in real results as soon as I watch the appropriate match.

    I just want to emphasize that we all live in different parts of the world so while I encourage everyone to discuss the results, please, do it in spoilers. For i.e., according to my country time, matches will start at 8 p.m., at 11 p.m. and even at 2 a.m. So I will be able to watch them only on the next day or even later because I have to go to my work as well;)

    Can we all at least agree to stop calling it soccer, or is that taboo?

    If Association Football (soccer) is football, what are American Football and Aussie Rules Football?

    It really comes down to if Montaron and Xzar will work out on the center, Sarevok getting the ball in his striker position and Korgan not pulling a red card early in the match.

    No chance on that Korgan not getting a red card (unless Kagain bribes the officials)

    PREDICT THE CUP OPENING GOAL

    A new prediction challenge. Predict when and by whom will the opening goal be scored. I predict 29th game minute by Ivan Rakitić (Bra 0 - Cro 1).

    I suppose since its not possible for them to fly on the back of Charizards this will do :p

    Does it still count if he puts the ball in he's own net?,a friend of mine won a night out on the town with a similar bet once:)

    @Dungeonnoob‌ I guess it does, but that's quite unlikely :D

    I don't like picking second or third place since it all depends on who meets who at what time. I really don't like picking goalscorers and minutes since literally anything can happen.
    I'm picking Brazil but I think Spain and Germany are equally likely.
    For the first goal? I guess I'll pick the most likely goalscorer (Fred, perhaps?) and a random minute... lets say 26!

    OK, I'll be super-conservative and say Neymar scores the first goal in the ... lessee ... the 58th minute!
