Based on current group standings, this will be the knock-out stages. Remember: it will probably chance.

Thought? Especially the chances for Argentina, Netherlands and Belgium are really good.

Google should also say that it's Chile, not Chili.

Come on now. Was that whole Chili thing a running gag or did you really think that it's Chili all this time?

But it would make it easier to update when Nikkom does it.

That's assuming that participants of the prediction league would always post in the correct thread. This community has proven time and time again that it is composed of idiots; it's bad enough when they are sober, now imagine the chaos when you add beer to the mix.

Making it into two parts would make it worse.. people quoting themself "Look! I was right! loooll" now people don't bother to do that cause they have to search back through hunderds of posts...

To be honest I didn't expect that this thread would grow this big... our Euro 2012 thread had only 1600 posts...

Crap 7 changes from Spain and they are definitely looking to score. Carzola, Torres and Villa all starting. No more of this BS endless passing?

If I may sugest something, maybe for future World Cups and other sporting events where a prediction league is gona be held here on Vgchartz there should be a separate thread for the predictions and one for coments cause Id not like to be the guys running this prediction league, in between each prediction there are like 500 coments its not easy at all to know whos comenting whos predicting.

The only real problem here is that the Netherlands are winning, and subsequently beer. A seperate thread for predictions wouldn't result in more up to date standings.

But it would make it easier to update when Nikkom does it.

It ahs nothing to do with up to date standings, it has a lot more to do with keeping things organised for the guys running the show.
