Is anyone else stupid enough to take part in a world cup result predicting game :)

Hi guys

I was stupid enough to enter a tipping group in my company to predict the right scores during the World cup.

Football is such a stupid and unpredictable game that really anything can happen and it always seems to be going against me!

I tipped Mexico to win 1-0. They had about 10 class chances, missed them all and were lucky not to loss.

I had Argentina to win 2-0. They had roughly 20 chances and scored only 1.

Green, Algerias goalie and the bloody Serb have cost me 25 points between them.

Please tell me I'm not the only one to get obsessed by tipping

I read the title and thought you were into some messy game with the contents of a toilet

To be quite honest, so did I - which is why I read the Thread. Otherwise Football/sports is not an area I look at.

I had a similar thought. Reminded me of the world's dirtiest toilet in Cairo airport, and the guy leaning on a mop with his hand out for a tip.

To answer the thread title, yes!
I got the 4-0 of Germany, clean and fair
Unfortunately tonight, Italy decided to make money with their own score ...
