[NSC] NSC World Cup 2022 Prediction Competition (Main Thread)

[SeagullsoverLondon]

My thanks as well to @Theatre of Trees, it's been a mammoth task for you.

Also, congratulations to @hart's shirt , I was well beaten in the end.

I will be following your progress and hope to have the consolidation of being knocked out by the winner!

@Theatre of Trees one suggestion for the next tournament (euros 24?), would be to have another category for total amount of injury time played in the game (first half plus second combined) Some big numbers this year!

 

[Jim D]

Well done ToT, you were much better with your predictions. Also, thanks for organising, it must have been a lot of hard work. Good luck for the next round.

Thanks for the kind words @SeagullsoverLondon - it was a good contest and you got a very decent score.

Playing your joker on a 3-1 France v Poland prediction and watching it come to pass with Lewandowski's retaken penalty on the last kick of the game almost cost me a new television. Fair play to you!

Thanks for organising @Theatre of Trees and congratulations to @Tom Hark Preston Park. That early 12 point lead proved to be too much in the end.

Cheers mate, grand bit of sport

Betway are paying 8/1 for Croatia to beat Brazil, that seems ridiculously high for this stage.

Would be interesting but would need to have the information easily available, particularly on matches I don't watch.

I've got to hand it to you, @Theatre of Trees . I'm not sure I'd have been quite so thorough!

Epic match-up. Nothing between us. And I'd have been quite happy to have lost with a different outcome of the last game.
