Football World Cup 2018 Prediction Contest

driv4r is right. I made a small mistake in the logic and it was passed on to the algorithm. I checked the algorithm properly according to the instructions and the result should be as follows: 1. naitleja 101 2. striibu 95 3. jēmpsikas 80 (15 points from the 1/8 finals) 4. taavataavi 80 (12 points from the 1/8 finals) These are unofficial results. Sten90 and Meikop confirm. If I have time this evening, I will try to add the entire table.

The summary results should be: 1. naitleja 101 2. striibu 95 3. jämpsikas 80 (15 points from the 1/8 finals) 4. taavaavi 80 (12 points from the 1/8 finals) 5. ken112, Snickers 75 7. kallur 74 8.

Although France (19 times) and Croatia (twice) were offered to the finals, no Croatia-France final pairing was predicted. This time, a maximum of 3 teams that advanced from the quarter-finals were correctly predicted, and 6 from the round of 16. The World Cup showed that the ball is round. Reaching the quarter-finals could be expected without much risk from Spain, Argentina, and also the reigning European champion Portugal. However - that was not the case. Instead, we saw Sweden, whom no one predicted to reach the quarter-finals. Perhaps Sweden was the biggest surprise of the major competition?

Unfortunately, it took 12 minutes to put this prediction together. It was done using the copy/paste method, but I don't remember who did it from. Of course, I managed to change some, Japan and Poland probably also failed, and Argentina of course. I believe it was the strangest World Cup ever: Iceland's continuing phenomenon; Sweden of course too; the proportion of penalty shootouts; WAR; the number of goals scored in the playoffs and the final - start or become a football fan! :)

First of all, congratulations to the actor, who won with such a powerful score of 101! (y) Your knowledge of world football and your ability to predict are impressive, especially for an actor. Congratulations of course also to the stripe - 95 points is an excellent result - and to the brat for 2nd and 3rd place respectively, well done! A bit of bad luck for the brat, equal points with the brat, but the latter takes 3rd place thanks to the better prediction of the round of 16... 10th place for me this time, which is quite good, although not quite that... However, considering my position after the group stage, when I was in 50th place (if that was correct), the rise was of course great, mainly thanks to being matched with the world champion. The group stage predictions were of course pretty bad, although I predicted 5 winners correctly. This is also proven by the fact that even 1 person finished ahead of me, who beat the title winner, Snickers, and only 2 of those who predicted France would win finished behind me. But this should still be my best result so far in the Vindi prediction competitions :)

Since no claims have been received, I handed over the prizes. It was great to see that there were 67 guessers! Congratulations to the best and thanks to all guessers!
