Well, the round of 16 is over now. Congratulations to montadhar for taking the lead once again! Although the difference is quite small!

Thanks I wouldn't celebrate that yet though, it will be very easy for me to move to the 3rd place today, and it's possible to go as far as the fifth.

This was my thought process when I chose the predictions of today's match:
"I will take the calculated risk and vote for Colombia" *looks at the predictions by other members* "OK, I will take the calculated risk and vote for Brazil"

, it will be very easy for me to move to the 3rd place today, and it's possible to go as far as the fifth.

Really fun, eh?
And you and I may lose a lot of (overall) potential points if Germany loses today .
If Germany loses, and those who voted Germany as winner place new winners today/tomorrow,
the following potential points will be lost:

montadhar: 16 - 4 = 12 potential points
Logger: 16 - 4 = 12 potential points
PhysicsGente: 10 - 4 = 6 potential points
DennisN: 10 - 4 = 6 potential points

This contest is mighty fun .

Also fun to see that cristo and me had Brazil as overall winner, but now voted for Colombia to win

That's somewhat closer, though

Can we please follow the FIFA order? It is

Netherlands - Argentina

This makes it a lot easier for me.

Prediction for the winner:
Posted on 6 June (16 points):
micromass - Brazil

Brazil - Germany: 0 - 2

Are you using a complementary strategy? (I don't know if "complementary" is the right term, but you probably understand what I mean)

EDIT: I haven't decided for the semi-finals yet. I have to think it through properly. Some tough decisions...

Hey, I get points anyway, no matter who wins

 

[DennisN]

Semi-finals:
Brazil - Germany: 1 - 2
Netherlands - Argentina: 2 - 1
(gosh, these results were hard for me to decide on )

 

[Intrastellar]

Brazil - Germany: 2 - 1

 

[Intrastellar]

That was a tough prediction to make!

 

[Matterwave]

Not if Brazil wins the semis and loses the final... :)

 

[Intrastellar]

Not if Brazil wins the semis and loses the final... :)

Yes he will, he will get half the points of the winner prediction.

 

[micromass]

Winner prediction: Germany

 

[Intrastellar]

Netherlands - Argentina: 1 - 2

Winner prediction: Germany

I'm withholding judgment until tomorrow and the Netherlands v Argentina game. Today, tomorrow, the day after, it doesn't matter: It's still a paltry two points that those of us who stuck with Brazil can possibly win.

 

[Intrastellar]

Netherlands - Argentina: 1 - 2

It seems that I was 2 minutes too late Which is fine by me.
I am more interested in what would the leader-board look like had everyone's votes counted.
