World cup prediction results

[April madness]

Congratulations to our quarterfinal predictions round winner....

ParklifeRicky!

The bonus point for predicting total number of goals correctly (16 goals including penalties scored on shootouts) is awarded to daveinaustria!

Lots of ties in this round, so had to work a bit to give places for each - first by most correct answers, then by closest prediction to total goals scored, and then by earliest date and time of posting predictions.

The semifinal round predictions were very close - and almost impossible to avoid ties because predictions were very similar. Nobody predicted both games correctly, no bonus points awarded this time either. After checking closest predictions of total goals scored to the actual number (3), I could find out the three predictors that took joint first place in this round and they are:

tenisscot, ParklifeRicky and murdock_101
Congratulations!

Don't miss your chance of winning the last two prediction rounds - see the predictions thread!

Another round of predictions completed - this time we have 3 winners again who predicted the outcome and scoreline of the third round match correctly.

Congratulations to

[berolina]

I'm so glad I took part!

[April madness]

hi berolina, how was it in Germany during the Cup?

[berolina]

Didn't notice very much
Still crying 'cos Portugal lost.
Seriously, the general atmosphere during the World Cup seemed somewhat friendlier (does that word exist?) than usual (mind: Berlin is famous for its non-existent friendliness).
