You can see the system of the competition below.

It is important for your predictions for;

1- DAY 6
2- WHICH TEAMS WILL PLAY IN THE FINAL ? ( REWARD : 30 POINTS )

Why for day 6 ?

Before last matches in the group stage every team will try to forecast against which team they may play in knock-out stage (16 teams ). So, we have to be ready for some surprise results in day 6.

Why for the prediction of finalists ?

After the group stage, you will know the 8 coming matches. If you can predict the winners, it is determined who will play with who in the next stage. This goes like that until the final.

If you have any questions pls. ask.

Btw, Vincent, Polson, PolskaDoll and King Sobieski, you have to send DAY 5 predictions until 15:00 PF time tomorrow. Do not forget pls.

I've predicted an upset in Angola beating Germany. Just a hunch but Germany got thumped by OZ by 35 points. Angola can take this.


reminds me of a charles barkley quote from 1992 regarding angola:

“I don't know anything about Angola, but I know they're in trouble.”

--Charles Barkley, a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic team, asked to handicap the mismatch of the Dream Team's first game in Barcelona against Angola

Thanks! By 4 will do, I was only 2 out but miles off on the no of points scored :(

Lithuania are trailing by 6. I'd rather they were trailing by more as they come back well but, as it stands, clawing it back to 3 would be ideal.

Slovenia are leading but Brazil are a class act that ran the US close so I expect a turnaround. I should've known that the US would go +30 on Iran but hey....

Rock, whatever the Turkish do to bring themselves luck, please do it. I've put you guys at +8 so I hope you lift your game. PR are strong but Turkey surely want to send out a message.

Croatia won by 20. I predicted by 18. NZ won by 10. I predicted by 11. I was well out with some of the others, though :(

Lack of concentration caused this score.
But team is more serious now.
We will finish it in Q4.

Yes, we decided to play 62-57 Turkey now :)

Not too fast now. Come on PR, keep it to 8 :) Lithuania are a dark horse for the tournament!

What on Earth are Argentina playing at? They were 19 up and now only 6. Come on guys, raise the game!

Well done Turkey! You were 9 up and should have stayed that way ;) Anyway, a win is a win. I think my score range was fine too :)

We played very bad but managed to win. This means we are a very good team.

If the winners do not change for the remaining matches I will make 11/12 :)

Brazil can still do sth but I doubt it. Argentina just need to hold on but I really thought they'd score much higher.

I did badly yet again so these need to be good. Angola were the surprise package. Could I ask for 5 upset points, Rock? Everyone else predicted Germany so it would seem to be an upset.

Mephias, I know you are the home team n'all but you can't assume a perfect prediction by writing nothing for your beloved team ;) ;)

Hımmmm... I am an empathic person but my answer is ''no'' :))

As I told before you deserve more points. It is too early for a disappointment. Maybe DAY 6 will change your faith :)

I can well imagine. Turkey didn't fail me today. I don't like predicting wins of 2 or 3 points so I stayed away from it in Turkey's case. You should be clearly ahead of China :)

We guaranteed the leadership in the group. So China match has no importance. But we will win.

If no surprise happens tomorrow, most probably we will play against New Zealand in next knock out stage.

I've taken a huge gamble here...partly due to Rock's cautious message about DAY 6. It could cost me dearly.

Rock, when i recount my points from yesterday, i come up with 304p rather than 298p. Could you double check that please. Thanks alot, i know u're doing such unenviable job. keep it up!
