World Cup 2014 quiz

ghost of ... · 2014-06-12 15:41:13

Here’s a quiz that’s a bit late, ideally I should have posted it about a week ago, but I’d rather still post it than not. Final deadline for answers could be today, before the first match starts, but then too few would participate, so it’ll be slightly atypical instead; the deadline will be at the end of round one of the group stage:

– - - June 17th, 21:00 CET - - -

This way it’ll also be easier to do estimates, since all 32 teams will have been in action once.

If you have good ideas for additional questions, hurry up and post, and they may get included.

You’re welcome to post your answers now and make unlimited edits up to June 17th, or just post at June 17th, 21:00 CET as the latest, your choice.

The winner will be the person who has the most right answers, which can be determined July 13th.

18:00 CET Colombia - Greece
21:00 CET Uruguay - Costa Rica
00:00 CET England - Italy

Ok people, let's hear it once for all ...

Ditch your pride and forget about what you said earlier - unless you haven't changed your mind 8-]

Who wins the world cup?

Black Mamba · 2014-06-27 04:20:23

France and Brazil in the Finals

Maybe Les Bleus can repeat the magic of '98. Too bad Ribery cannot play.

That's not possible :-)

The obvious and most likely choice is Brazil, but that'd be too easy, so I'll stick with Argentina, even though many aspects of their team seem quite weak :]

Millerke · 2014-06-27 07:52:22

I hope Costa Rica!
But the Costa Rica vs Holland next round will be very good!

tuia · 2014-06-27 09:42:00

Brazil wins facing Netherlands in the final.
Costa Rica will probably be knocked out against Greece.

So what are your predictions?

dary · 2014-06-27 19:21:22

It depends too much on the referee. Brazil will only reach the final with a referee on their side. They didn't convice me.

Chile - Columbia
France - Germany
Mexico (Played very good, they can beat the Nederlands for sure) - Costa Rica
Argentinia - USA (Belgium is better, but I think USA will make it)

Coco · 2014-06-27 19:49:09

I also think South American teams, which have been impressive during the group stage, are going to feel the effects of fatigue. As in 2010.
They played like mad and they pressed high up the pitch throughout the whole matches. That was particularly visible in the cases of Chile and Colombia.

tuia · 2014-07-02 10:04:30

Semi-finals prediction:
Brazil-Germany
Netherlands-Argentina

Qlimax · 2014-07-02 23:16:22

Agree with Tuia..
But I hope I'm wrong..
I hope to see Colombia - France and Netherlands - Belgium in semi-finals

ghost of ... · 2014-07-03 12:57:02

Colombia - France
Netherlands - Argentina

Arkos · 2014-07-03 18:52:16

I vote for Costa Rica ... Tu tuut

Coco · 2014-07-04 19:51:44

totally disgusting

nämeless · 2014-07-04 20:12:50

Move forward, Costa Rica!

HoOK · 2014-07-04 20:15:23

Germany !!

Arkos · 2014-07-04 20:57:28

Go, Costa Rica... Go for it....
