    3 points for each correct result -if correct score predicted the 3 points won't be awarded, instead it will be ... 7 points for each correct score
    For group placings points are as follows after last group match played.
    10 points for each correct 1st place in each group
    7 points for each correct 2nd place in each group
    5 points for each correct 3rd place in each group
    3 points for each correct 4th place in each group


    So if one poster picks correct results but not correct scores then they will get 3 points for each match.
    It will depend on how many correct results that poster picks even if each poster gets correct group placings.

    I am not entering comp but if say i picked correct group placings i would get 25 points.
    A) If i picked one correct score and 3 correct results but not correct scores i would get 16 points
    B) If however i picked one correct result and 3 correct scores i would get 24 points

    So if i picked correct group placings plus scenario A i would have total of 41 points
    If i had picked correct group placings plus scenario B i would get a total of 49 points

    That would be for just one group. The winner would be the one who picked scenario B

    The FIFA rankings don't mean anything. They are complete rubbish, just look at Greece (10), Switzerland (8) or the USA (14). Plus, you have only ever won one World Cup game ever.

    So, you have a guy who is part of a horrific Fulham team that got relegated. A old guy who is past it and a guy who plays for a lower Championship side. Looking at your defence, it seems a major chunk of it is made up from a mid table Pro League team - Persepolis. I can see the three other sides in your group, all attack minded, ripping that apart.

    This is quite poor when compared to Nigeria, for example, who have a proven Champions League goalscorer in Emmanuel Emenike, world class mid-fielders in John Obi Mikel and Onazi and fast attackers in Moses and Ahmed Musa, among others.

    I hope you do well but I think you have gone well by just getting to the World Cup.

    So, just to clarify, do I need to predict the scores as well?
