Will you watch the World Cup?
I don't understand how predictions work if it goes to penalties. Is that just treated as a draw for purposes of getting 0, 5, or 10 points, regardless of who wins on penalty kicks?
[Edit: I guess it would have to be. I don't see any other interpretation.]

Hmmm... My interpretation is that draws always get 0 points from now on. I mean, look at the example from second-to-last line. The person there guessed 0-0, but the game went into Penalties... And the person gets 0 points anyway, even if he/she guessed the draw correctly.
So, as I just said above, casual attire only. I think.

"second-to-last line" of what?
So if "draws always get 0 points from now on," I guess we should never pick a draw?

Indeed, predicting draws is pointless now just for the benefit of being able to guess a penalty shooting correctly, which pretty much never ever happens. I actually told him about this weeks ago, but ...
I also don't get why predicting the WC winner in advance isn't worth any more than vaguely predicting the result for a generic match: 5 points.

I read that, and didn't understand it fully. That's why I posted.
If it's 1-1 and Team A wins 5-3 on PKs, then do you get 10 points for 1-1, 5 points for a draw, and zero points for anything else?
Or do you get 0 points for picking a draw, or Team B to win, but 5 points for picking Team A to win, but there's no way to get 10 points?
Maybe I don't truly understand the nuances of the word "result." I thought a result was win, draw, or loss. So if you lose on PK's, that would seem to be a loss. So if it's 1-1, then Team A wins on PK's, do you get 5 points for picking Team A to win 10-0? Is there any way to get 10 points in that scenario?

I looked at the "Examples" table in the OP. I understand that if it is 1-1 + 5-3, you should read the score as 6-4 for Team A. If you predicted 1-1, you get zero points. In other words, there is no point in writing in a draw anymore. The only way to get 10 points would be if you actually guessed 6-4.
Ha, see what I did there? There is no point in writing a draw! :D :D :D
And I am so disappointed no one got my jokes about "no ties!" Well, my wife does tell me I have a peculiar sense of humor... She uses the word shitty, but surely she means peculiar. :D :D :D
Er, ok, I will see myself out. :D

Okay, makes sense now...that's kinda weird IMO. If it goes to penalties, probably nobody will get 10pts.
Oh well-- thanks for the explanation and for re-directing my attention to the OP, not the website!

No offense taken. I just didn't understand the site rules-- the examples Moony provided were clear, though. I guess I just never considered that winning 1-1 (5-3 PK) would count as winning 6-4!

It's pretty simple system - you guess the winner right - you get 5 points. You guess winner right with the correct score - you get 10 pts, 0 pts if predicted winner was uncorrect. If you guess 1:1 and after 90 minutes and then after 120 minutes it's 1:1 - the game is still not over yet, so pick either one side or another in knockout stages.

GG Brazil. Second goal was painful tho. Soccer analysts will eat them up on that one.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would support Brazil, if Neymar wouldnΒ΄t be part of the Team. HeΒ΄s not a fair sportsman and a bad Actor and bad example for the Kids out there. So go Belgium go :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's the only thing I don't like about him. But he knows It works well and takes advantage of It. Maybe in a couple of years he leaves that behind.
Comment has been collapsed.
Advantage? Idk, how many times he calls his Opponent "butana" (at least I saw it 5 times) and Things like that vs. Costa Rica and it was on every camera. For what do they have the videoassisant at the World Cup? IΒ΄m sure 15 years ago he would get a Lifetime Suspension for Fifa for that.I got a different understanding what Fairplay is

Because he drives them mad with his skills and his dirty mouth, then they hit him and he acts. I'm not saying It's ok, he's just likes that, he likes to provoke and yes, the ref should keep an eye on him.

Totally agree. Hope Belgium will win, i don't wanna to see teams with players like Neymar

Ah Colombia, Colombia....so close. It's sad to see great teams leave.
Comment has been collapsed.
great teams? was even 1 neutral fan who sympathised with Columbia after all the unfair, aggressive, unsporting thing they done on the pitch? The biggest question of the day: How managed Columbia to end this match with 11 players? I dont have favourite team, i watch all matches in hope for a good match and i must say after what i seen i happy that Columbia is out. They can now go to K-1 world championship, especially Barritos.

Good job, Belgium. But lots of players cry-- almost all of them it seems! But Neymar's roll against Mexico was hilarious.

Well played and I'm always glad when "our" Pavard is successful. And I really liked the result. ;)

Allez les Bleus!
I actually wasn't sure if France would defeat Belgium...I thought the win over Brazil was more impressive than the win over an Uruguay team sans Cavani.
Will it be the battle for the English Channel? Or a rematch of the 1998 semi-final?
Either way, let's hope the result matches 1998 and not 2006.

The French team spirit is outstanding and they haven't been that way for years. They make quite a few mistakes but it's a very strong and tight team as a whole and this might be what will make the difference in the last game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope so! I had the great pleasure and good fortune to be in France (Toulouse) in 1998 when they won the cup. And I was in Paris when they won the Euro in 2000! I will not be in France on Sunday but I will be there in spirit. ;-)

Thank you so much, Moony1986, for setting up this game for us! It was a lot of fun to participate!

Wait, what happened? Did I win?!?! No one calling the VAR on this? Woohoo!!!
One hundred thousand dollars!
Women! Motorcars! Yachts! Mansions!

Wait, what do you mean "just for fun?!?!"...
But, yeah, seriously, thank you Moony1986 for organizing this, it made the World Cup a lot more fun!

Congrats! Third place for me, I considered predicting a 2 - 0 for Belgium but then changed it to 2 - 1. :(
I don't wanna complain though, never thought that I would have the luck to end up in the Top 10.
Thanks for organizing, Moony. :)

Thanks! I kept an eye on you until the very end... Then I saw you ended up predicting the same score for the final as I did, so I was able to I relax even before the final (and you probably said "noooooooo, that bastard!")... :D :D
I never did well in these prediction games.. . it seems the spartan approach (1-0 on everything) paid off. :D
Cheers!

At the moment the default setting for when a match ends for the prediction is active which is after penalty shoot.
Furthermore there are some questions you have to answer up to 5 minutes before the first match starts on 14th June.
