Winner prediction: Considering that the majority of past winners are from Catholic countries, and that the current Argentinian pope is a life-long football supporter, this seems a no-brainer :smile:

OK, at the risk of sounding annoying, can everybody please follow the following standard:

Team1 - Team2: Score1 - Score2

and not Team1 Score1 - Team2 Score2 or Team1 Score1 - Score2 Team2.

Additionally (although most do this), it would help to follow the FIFA order. So if FIFA says the match is Team1 - Team2, then this is the FIFA order, while Team2 - Team1 isn't. The beginning of the thread contains a list of all matches and they are all FIFA ordered.

I know this seems stupid, but it really really does help me.
