The thread discusses predictions for the outcomes of matches in the 2014 World Cup, inviting participants to compare their forecasting abilities against Paul the Octopus. The scope includes voting on overall winners, runner-ups, and individual match outcomes, with a focus on points awarded for correct predictions.
There is no consensus on which team will win the World Cup, as multiple competing views are presented. Participants have differing predictions for individual matches as well.
Participants' predictions depend on personal assessments of team strengths and weaknesses, and the discussion reflects a variety of assumptions about match outcomes without resolving these uncertainties.

Me too, congratulations, montadhar!micromass said:Every team has played at least once now. I want to congratulate montadhar for being in the lead!
I think I've been pretty luckymontadhar said:DennisN is rising very quickly though, considering that he didn't vote for some games.
I hope there will be competition! I really like this thread, the idea, setup and point system is very good and fun, I think.montadhar said:I predict that he will be a good first by the time each team has played their second matches.
(only kidding, of course)D H said:Uruguay v England: 0-1
I took the weather into account this time. Had I done that last time I would have predicted a loss for England. England trained to lose against Italy in Manaus. Tomorrow will be wet, dreary, and cool in Sao Paulo. Perfect English weather!cristo said:Yaaay! :)
