I was hoping to have a bit of a look at most of the teams in action first


Midnight UK time before the first match of the round is played, which I think is Tuesday 19th.

Results

Russia v Saudi Arabia 5-0
Egypt v Uruguay 0-1
Morocco v Iran 0-1
Portugal v Spain 3-3
France v Australia 2-1
Argentina v Iceland 1-1
Peru v Denmark 0-1
Croatia v Nigeria 2-0
Costa Rica v Serbia 0-1
Germany v Mexico 0-1
Brazil v Switzerland 1-1
Sweden v South Korea 1-0
Belgium v Panama 3-0
Tunisia v England 1-2
Poland v Senegal 1-2
Colombia v Japan 1-2

And the player scores after round 1:

ianp1970 38

Gingerfinch 36
GG-Amir Solail 36
durhamfootman 31
sussexpob 30
andy 28
Diligent defence 21
mikesiva 19

TheProfessor 12

ian takes an early lead, but it's very close at the top of the leaderboard, with all to play for.

A few notes, which I may or may not continue with in future rounds:

Upset of the round: A five-way tie. Nobody correctly called the result of Morocco v Iran, Argentina v Iceland, Germany v Mexico, Brazil v Switzerland or Colombia v Japan.

Prediction of the round: mikesiva, who got Senegal's defeat of Poland 2-1 spot on, while no other player correctly predicted the result, let alone the exact score. Honourable mention to Gingerfinch for being the only player to correctly call a draw as the result of Spain v Portugal (which surprised me - I thought that was a reasonably likely outcome).

Most predictable game of the round: Belgium's defeat of Panama, correctly called by every player, with two perfect scores. Interestingly, Sweden's defeat of South Korea had five perfect scores, but not everyone predicted a Sweden victory.

Do you get points for predicting the right score line in reverse, as per your last comment? So if I say Sweden 1-0, and its Korea 1-0, I get points?

No, you have to get the result right too. Sorry, I see where that was ambiguous. Five people predicted Sweden 1 Korea 0, but I didn't call it the 'most predictable' game, because some others predicted a draw or a Korea win.
