I'm betting 30€ on the USA (!) today, for a quota of 1:11, which means I would win 300€ if the US beats Germany.

Tongue

Unlikely that this happens, but I can afford the risk.

Go USA ! USA ! USA !

And there's my sixth perfect match (Portugal-Ghana), even if it was a last-minute edit. Tongue

For the knockout stage, these rules require slight modifications:
We'll be predicting the score after 90 minutes, plus who'll advance in case that we predict a draw.
1 point per tendency (win/draw/loss)
1 point for getting the advancing team right
1 point per goal difference (not available in drawn games)
1 point each per team's scores
Still a total of up to 5.

And here comes the part I'm still very much open to suggestions on: The knockout stage provides only 1/4 of the games overall - should it be given higher weight? Say, double points? Double for the sweet 16 and triple after that? Or is that a bad idea?
Shouldn't that be at the end of playing time (regardless whether 90 or 120 minutes)? Games decided in extra time are not usually considered draws.

Despite being stuck at the bottom of the table (which apparently proves that I'm better at picking American Football than International Football), I soldier on, hoping for a miracle (which won't happen).

Round of Sixteen

June 28

Brazil 3 Chile 1

Columbia 1 Uruguay 0 (Suarez's suspension turned this once-even match, that may have even favored Uruguay into a Colombia win)

June 29

Netherlands 2 Mexico 0 (If you've seen Mexico during qualifying, they won't score against the Netherlands)

Costa Rica 1 Greece 0 (In Extra Time)

June 30

France 5 Nigeria 0 (The way France has been playing it's doable)

Germany 3 Algeria 0

July 1

Argentina 2 Switzerland 1 (In Extra Time)

USA 2 Belgium 1 (If the USA can make it out of the "Group of Death", they can beat Belgium)
