Exactly. thumbsup

It was never my intention to suggest changing the rules midgame. I just noticed that while with a certain bit of knowledge it is possible to predict a tendency, the exact result depends a lot on luck and may ultimately decide the competition. But as Gaspar said, this may not even be a problem (it's not like we are competing for a 500$ prize wink ).
Just in case we do this again in 2018 we could have a chat about the scoring system then. lol

Games:

Argentina 2-0 Iran
Germany 3-1 Ghana
Nigeria 0-2 Bosnia

Ok I'm glad I was misreading the situation, I was thinking there were plenty of people unhappy with how this is going and having a few people quit was worrying me.

It seems we are fine as we are so no need for changes. I will remember this for the next time though so there's some time to discuss rules etc.

Anyhoo my predictions for today:

Argentina 4-0 Iran
Nigeria 0-3 Bosnia
Germany 3-1 Ghana

Wait ... what? We aren't? This sucks.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

I'm going to be very bold and copy Gaspar for today's results.

My guesses wouldn't have been too different.
