Can You Outpredict Paul the Octopus in the 2014 PF World Cup League?

[Intrastellar]

Brazil - Germany: 2 - 1

 

[Intrastellar]

That was a tough prediction to make!

 

[Matterwave]

Hey, I get points anyway, no matter who wins

Not if Brazil wins the semis and loses the final... :)

Yes he will, he will get half the points of the winner prediction.

 

[micromass]

Winner prediction: Germany

 

[Intrastellar]

Netherlands - Argentina: 1 - 2

Winner prediction: Germany

I'm withholding judgment until tomorrow and the Netherlands v Argentina game. Today, tomorrow, the day after, it doesn't matter: It's still a paltry two points that those of us who stuck with Brazil can possibly win.

 

[Intrastellar]

Netherlands - Argentina: 1 - 2

It seems that I was 2 minutes too late Which is fine by me.
I am more interested in what would the leader-board look like had everyone's votes counted.

Brazil - Netherlands (12 July): 0 - 1 Netherlands win

Germany - Argentina (13 July): 2 - 0 Germany win

Winner: Argentina

 

[trollcast]

Brazil v Netherlands: 1-3

 

[Matterwave]

These 2 matches are the hardest for me to predict of all the previous matches...

Final:
Argentina-Germany: 3-2 GO FOR BROKE!

Semi-final:
Brazil-Netherlands: 1-0

I think Brazil still has something to prove, while the Netherlands doesn't really care about 3rd place.

Germany-Argentina: 2-1. Ger. wins.

 

[trollcast]

Germany vs Argentina: 1-2

 

[lisab]

Germany-Argentina: 2-1. Ger. wins.

Wait a minute - aren't you in Argentina?

 

[Intrastellar]

Question: can I vote for Argentina in the match prediction and still have Germany in the main winner prediction ?

Yes.

 

[micromass]

Brazil - Netherlands: 0 - 5
Germany - Argentina: 2 - 0

 

[DennisN]

Brazil - Netherlands: 1 - 3
Germany - Argentina: 2 - 0

Brazil - Netherlands: 0 - 5

Ouch, if that happens it will be very painful to watch... EDIT: And if Argentina should win the final, it would be extra painful for me to watch this entry :

Yes I am. But I want to sleep that night... I'm dead serious :)
No party please. I've had enough of the 2 previous games of Argentina. Almost impossible to go out and buy food...
Go Germany!

I definitely had a lot of fun! I know DennisN had a lot of fun too
Thanks micromass for the massive effort you put into the league! You will have a lot of free time now

Is it possible to have the statistics for the predictions ? And if possible, the ones had the deadlines not been considered.

 

[cristo]

Thank you Götzilla!

I just wonder one thing, since I don't know much about the rules of football. At minute 57 Neuer clattered Higuain in the goal keeper zone, did that deserve a penalty like the Argentinian people are claiming?
I doubt it because Neuer played the ball (and removed it) while Higuain didn't even touch the ball.

I think it was a foul. Although he got the ball, he clearly leapt into Higuain - if Neuer was an outfield player it would certainly have been given against him, but goalies get too much protection.

Thanks for running the competition, micro. I shall come back fighting in two years ;)

Thank you! And thanks to everyone for making this into a very fun and addictive thread!
I definitely had a lot of fun! It is more than a month since this thread started, a long game! I think it was exciting even until the end.

And a special, big thanks to micromass for his huge effort in managing the contest and the thread, great work!
