World Cup

Post by british exil »

As the World Cup is to start tomorrow and I feel that it is more fun to share the event with others. I have decided to start a page where you can place your tips.
You can see how good/bad you were and see how others in the forum have tipped and fared.

This is FREE of charge. The more the merrier. Please take in account if you want to play you must place your tips 20 minutes before matchday.
It would be wise to use your forum names, so we know who is who. Thanks

Some players have not placed all their tips th1207. Please do so. You still have time to do so. If not your next tips will only be accepted for matchday 2. You will miss 7 matches.

All are welcome to join. No cost. No credit cards needed, just making the world cup 2014 a more enjoyable event.

I am checking the options in depth. There's an excellent job done there, British Exil [X(] [&o]

You even have the last half a dozen (and even more) friendlies matches, and this for every single team of the WC. This gives a quite good picture of all the 32 teams.

EDIT: correction, friendlies and official matches too

Aargh, too late. I´m just coming home from work. [:@]
Thanks for your clarification nevertheless.

Naturally I didn´t read the rules/instructions today morning when I hurriedly signed in just before leaving home for work.
Only plus: this saved me some horrendous wrong predictions. [:D]

If all others players agree, I can as admin, submit th1207 tips retroactively. I would then let him send me his vote via PM or mail. Thus he can still have a chance or gaining a few more points till matchday 2. I think this is fair due to the fact that it is the first time with used kicktipp and sometimes the info is not read correctly.

It's up to you to decide. I for my part would agree to letting him tip.

I suspect that this will be this tipping thingie will be the most fun I will have during this World Cup and the more tips there is the more fun it is.

Of course, no problem. We "play" for fun, not to win at all cost. And win what exactly? The Nostradamus Award? [:D]

5-1 can't just be a bad day at the office. It's too heavy.
Spanish players seemed too tired.
