Helloes u there, the FIFA WorldCup is right ahead us and there for id like to play a game with you.
In the next weeks we are going to guess the exact outcome of every single match in the WC in weekly period.

In the first week of the WC (11.06-17.06) we have 20 games, so this makes twenty guesses for this week.

But first the rules of the game:

Everyone who wants to play, guesses the outcome of every match in the CC.
Lets take the opening match S.Africa - Mexico as an example.
Player A guesses the outcome will be 3:2, Player B bets on 4:2, C on 0:1 and D on 2:0 and so on.
The outcome is on friday is 2:0.
Now, Player D gets 3 points for guessing completely right on the outcome.
Player B receives 2 points for guessing the right team winning and the right goal difference.
Player A wins 1 point for the right winning team guess but wrong goal difference.
Player C does not get points for this match.

After all matches in this CC we our Escchat scoreboard of best guessers, this scoreboeard will be updated weekly till the last day of the CC , so very exciting till the end

All I know is I will go be in S.Africa from 6 to 12 July
P.S. I'm still wondering how long the journey takes

I bet New Zealand will win the whole thing.

I was going to take part in this, but it looks too complicated.

guessing the outcome of the first twnty matches of the WC shoudnt be that complicated, the scoreboard update is my job so nothing complicated to do for you ...

and cmon, u cant watch !ESC! and say these are complicated rules, pls

Yeah, but the thing is I follow ESC, I have no idea about Algeria or Slovenia's abilities to play soccer, now if it was merely guessing the winner, I'd give it a go, but guessing the scores too? It'd take too long and I have no idea about the abilities of the respective countries at all.

South Africa : Mexico - 1:3
Uruguay : France - 2:1
Korea Republic : Greece - 1:1
Argentina : Nigeria - 3:1
England : United States - 2:3
Algeria : Slovenia - 1:2
Serbia : Ghana - 3:0
Germany : Australia - 4:1
Holland : Denmark - 1:1
Japan : Cameroon - 2:1
Italy : Paraguay - 1:1
New Zealand : Slovakia - 1:2
Côte d'Ivoire : Portugal - 0:3
Brazil : Korea DPR - 2:0
Honduras : Chile - 2:2
Spain : Switzerland - 2:0
South Africa : Uruguay - 2:1
France : Mexico - 3:1
Argentina : Korea Republic - 2:0
Greece : Nigeria - 1:2

LET THE SUMMER PARTY FREAKING BEGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN GOOD LUCK TO SOUTH AFRICA AND MEXICO NOW.
