I've created a yacf group on www.topofthegroup.com for predicting scores in the Brazil World Cup games (the closer you are to the right score the more points you get). Register (if you haven't already) and enter the group token:-

whbozr4y

and you'll get into the yacf group. Feel free to create your own groups for friends/colleagues/etc.

( Disclaimer: I help run this site. It's free, there are no adverts, we won't sell or give away any of your personal information [we ask for very little anyway] and we keep emails to a minimum [ especially once the tournament has ended ]. We also do other football [ Premiership, Champions League, the lower divisions ] and rugby [ Six Nations and we'll do the Rugby World Cup ] )

Any questions/comments let me know, we welcome feedback, either here or to the feedback email address (see the contact link on the site).

I predict that every game will have several players from both sides falling over, as if hit by a sledgehammer.

I'm in

Me too. I like the scoring system.

Joined - let the fun begin. OK, apart from watching England...

Jaded · « **Reply #5 on:** 12 June, 2014, 10:35:17 pm »

If it stays this score I get 10 points

andyoxon · « **Reply #6 on:** 12 June, 2014, 10:36:48 pm »

Come on Brazil - one more please...

andyoxon · « **Reply #7 on:** 12 June, 2014, 10:51:02 pm »

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!

ARRRSEEEE!!!!

Is it too late to join this, now that the first match has been played?

Jaded · « **Reply #10 on:** 12 June, 2014, 11:35:24 pm »

I would doubt it.

I think it just tots up your scores across the whole tournament, regardless of how many matches you predict.

Greenbank's your man for questions.

Basil · « **Reply #11 on:** 12 June, 2014, 11:52:55 pm »

S'ok. I've joined. Obviously I get nil points for today's game.

Basil · « **Reply #12 on:** 13 June, 2014, 08:25:57 am »

Right. I've entered a few week's worth of predictions. Let's see how I, with absolutely zero knowledge of footy, do against the experts.

Shame there are only 6 players in the yacf group.

Dang !! But for the pesky meddling ref I would have got away with it. (My prediction was 2-1.)

andyoxon · « **Reply #14 on:** 13 June, 2014, 05:59:46 pm »

Like Mexico, I'm being robbed by a match official...

You think it's all over..

Bugger.

Jaded · « **Reply #17 on:** 13 June, 2014, 07:38:26 pm »

At least you got a point!

Basil · « **Reply #18 on:** 13 June, 2014, 10:10:56 pm »

Blimey!

It's never too late! You can make (or edit) your prediction for a game right up until the scheduled kick-off of that game.

Given that people only have a few points (Euro 2012 was won by someone scoring 212 points, and the WC is a similar setup) then being a few games behind isn't that much of a problem at all.

Basil · « **Reply #20 on:** 17 June, 2014, 07:43:43 pm »

As you can see, I only joined to save Jaded from coming last.

Jaded · « **Reply #21 on:** 18 June, 2014, 09:28:04 am »

I think you are a bot, though

andyoxon · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 June, 2014, 08:03:54 pm »

Four of us on England to win 2:1. C'mon England.

edit... well, looking a tad iffy now.

Jaded · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 June, 2014, 10:11:16 pm »

I predicted 2-1

Wrong sides though.

andyoxon · « **Reply #24 on:** 20 June, 2014, 11:51:42 am »

Case of heart ruling head for me. I thought Uruguay may win, but hoped England would... Now we're left with England and the good ol 'mathematical chance' of getting out of the gp stages...
