The Ref Stop

world cup prediction league

only three people opted for anything other than a German victory, tho' no-one was able to guess the margin of the victory

Steve C retakes the outright lead but just seven points separate top from bottom.

Hullref, jojo and tealeaf each take a point as iran and nigeria play out the first draw of the tournament. So much for not losing the first game

Svenny moves up to equal third as he correctly predicts a u.s. victory and a 2-1 scoreline.

Tealeaf also grabs a point tho he seems to have disappeared in north lincolnshire without making his new predictions so, hopefully, it's not his last

@HullRef - the accent and dialect are so much softer this side of the river! Amused my family however that 3 hours after arriving I had slipped back into it.

For the unintiated here's a brief guide:

Durt - Don't
Wurt - Won't
Cart - Can't
Nerz Kern - The pointed end of a rocket :p

As for brazil, the rest of us go from heroes to zeroes as we all predicted a brazilian victory

5 people predicted the draw between russia and south korea with jojo, hattersfan and haywain guessing the correct scoreline. Mike and owenwebster both went for a 2-2 draw

Hattersfan becomes the fourth player to top the table whilst just 4 points separate the top seven.

I bet you eight this competition, Alex :)

(Did you see what I did then)

.....actually, how wierd is it that svenny 7(+) 6 has 13 points and alex7(+) 1 has 8 points
 
Hate/eight (your amusing less than a point a game comment / the fact that you have eight points)

A work in progress, admittedly :)

Is HATTERSAN worth 16 points in scrabble ..? .... (spooky)
 
Everyone predicting a netherlands win, all but one, svenny, going for a croatia win and 7 out of eleven opting for spain and one, tom, choosing chile in today's matches
 
That scrabble thing was spooky, alex.

So holland squeak through against the socceroos and we're all in the points. One or two came close to predicting the correct score but no cigars.

Tom-Henderson......take a bow

Just a pity that Spain couldn't find a late consolation goal to give you the full three points

Still at the bottom, alphabetically, mind ;)
