Once again there will be events where two teams of 11 players will go to grassfields build inside structures and run after a ball shaped object, while millions of people are watching and cheering them to do so. We will bet on how many times both teams gets the ball shaped object over the other teams white line before the ball catching net thingy(???). The game is hard to describe as it makes no sense what so ever but it's going to be excititing and all the glory is there for the taking! Basically what I'm trying to say is LET THE BETTING AND OFF TOPIC BANTER BEGIN! Mostly the banter.

Wait, it actually starts in a couple of days, June 12 to be exact. As the competition takes place in a country where it will cause starvation and other serious stuff, some of the matches will take place at abysmal hours.

All times are GMT:

* How about 17:00?
* How about 20:00?
* How about 21:00?
* How about 23:00?
* How about 02:00? Hahahaha. (Only Ivory Coast - Japan as far as I can tell.)

I know what you're thinking: "Holy Batman! Look at my sleeping rhytmn go!".

What else? Oh yes, the rules, if only I could remember them:

* 1 Point for getting either score right?
* 3 Points for getting the outcome right?
* 5 Points for getting the whole thing right?
* There's no 4 point option?
* Incase a match ends a draw, it's a draw?
* Bet must be placed before the match is on?
* No editing of the reply that includes your bet?
* After the group stage, the points are doubled?

I hate rules.

Lastly and least importantly: let your boys know about this thread. And anyone that knows anyone that knows girls, let them to inform them. That would be über.

edit: Match times edited. Lost a bit of zing. Square wants this link to be in the first post for some reason: Square's bizarre link.

Thank you for that wonderful introduction, you should be on TV! At any rate you are better dialogue than the prats on ITV coverage.

I am in this year. Streaming illegally from my computer/laptop, as I don't have cable or TV license. Hoorah. So any one have a pre-tournament analysis? Or to make things tighter than a scotsman's wallet... predictions or tips?

You're too kind. I'd flash for you if I was scottish.

Over here they've replaced the TV license scheme with something called media tax. It's mandatory and everybody pays up whether they own a TV or not mwahahahahaha! Yeah, the government owns us :''''(

I can't really provide any pro tips (yet) but after a few rounds we oughta know more. To be honest, personally I can't wait to see some busty brazilian shapes in the crowd. In the meanwhile I suggest these: https://www.youtube.com/user/assnfurious/videos. It feels like such a long wait now.

Starting the predictions seems like a good idea, so naturally I didn't think of it.

Undoubtedly Crotia has some fine ladies but I'm still gonna go with the exotic brazilians. Just because they're exotic.

Perhaps we need a link to a reliable network. Like matches to be played listings and results. Lovejoy: I know you enjoy masocisticly typing - but could you embed an upcoming games widget or at least some linkage?

Call me lazy. I haven't settled yet.

You lazy fucker.

Is that really necessary? After each game day I'll count the points as well as announce next game days matches. It just works.

All info is available everywhere. I got info for the first post from Wiki.

Because I'm quite shit at games like this, I decided to do a little experiment. I'm rolling two virtual 'dice' (0-6, so not really a die/dice) for every match, one for each team. Let's hope no-one scores 7 or more goals!

Brazil 1 - 6 Croatia

Have you written it so that it's just something between 0 and 6 or so that for example getting 2 instead of 1 is exponentially more difficult? It's football afterall.

Even though I considered doing the latter, i.e. weighted random numbers/different probability distribution, experts command me to be ultra lazy at the moment. So, I'm afraid I'm just rolling the 'dice' as is.

Excellent gifs by the way.

They are excellent. Such emoting.

Zosma personally you have it easy with the predictions. And you are so going to lose ;)

I think I'll go 3-1 with a brazilian early flop.

Not sure what to think of the opening match. Croatia had a great start and got even a present goal for it from Marcelo, whom went into tears after scoring it. Probably thinking he was pretty much dead if they would loose. Anyways, Brazil was strong on Croatia's turf and overall Croatia was just weaker. Altho Brazil's defense wasn't really tested, it seemed a bit weak when Croatia managed to get an attack. Atleast I wasn't too impressed with Brazil yet. What's most troubling about team Brazil is that is Luiz Gustavo really a pimp? That 'tache certainly says so.

Thursday 12.6 result
Brazil 3 - 1 Croatia

Code:
Lovejoy    3
Dennis     3
Sandman    3
Zomg       3
Raverdave  3
Zosma      0
Square     0
Rincewind  0


I think Sandman was playing with the idea of allowing 4 point results. Or then he wasn't. I'm not sure. I kind of like the current scoring scheme but if you girls would want that, then I'd increase the score for getting everything right to 6. It needs to be spectacular when it happens.

Friday the 13th
Mexico 2 - 1 Camerun
Spain 2 - 4 Dtuchland
Chile 1 - 0 Australia

Everyone' seen the tabloid headlines about chaos inside team Dtuchland? I hate tabloid headlines.
