Would it be all right for me to amend my knock out predictions?


Knock out stage has a fresh start (too few members predicted the entire tournament from the start) you still get bonuspoins for the second round qualifers.. (I do still need to search back your results...)


On Page 2 of this thread for me.



Weird day in my footballing world, 1 saint gone, young and up and coming, and one looking to go before becoming a legend, a shame.

This said, I am really looking forward to the football from now on. I'm routing against Messi and for Germany. Good luck to all teams.



Hmm, pie.

Worst fans so far: Algeria

Why do you think that? What did they do?

Or is this because of the laser?

One of the best developments in the last decades in world football imo is the increase of women/girls and whole families attending the matches which reduced the fanatism and violence. The Algerian fans at Brazil seem to be 99% male and seemed the most fanatic in a negative way to me (besides maybe the Mexican fans). The asshole with the laser pointer was just one, the other Algerians could have stopped him but they looked and acted like a fanatic mob to me.

By the way: The russian goalie Akinfeev made a simple mistake imo. He should have complained much more clearly about that laser pointer (his anger about the pointer made him miss the ball imo). He should not have just waved one hand almost timidly, right before the corner he should have refused to continue until the referee realized what happened and ordered the Algerian fan block via stadium announcer to stop using laser pointers.

Neymar, who licks his lips, wants to grab Robben's balls but the quick dutchman blocks him.. Muller gets what he wants.. but thats because Benzema's arm is like really wierd..
