With the 16th Game just kicking off, there has just been two red cards (Wilson Palacios (Honduras), Pepe (Portugal) so at the moment that projects to just 8 Red Cards all Tournament. 3 - Pereira against Costa Rica

If I had to lose the points for a goal in the first minute then I'm happy it was Clint Attachment Deleted

With Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland) scoring the second hat-trick of the tournament, we now have all the answers to the 4 Yes / No questions.
I will post a Leaderboard score update, after the group phase has been completed.
But at the moment it is a case of "game in play Nooowwwww .... USA, USA" in the lead ahead of us useless Brits!

So for a bit of fun I've predicted/projected the final results based on the following:
We've all had the best case scenario with our remaining Quarter Final & better predictions.
The Total Goals in Knock Phase (18), and Matches going to Penalty shoot outs (2) are doubled (to 36 & 4) as we've had 8 of those 16 matches.
The Top Goalscorer remains Rodriguez with 5 goals, and none of our predictions for Top goalscorer scores any more goals which (with 11 of the 14 of us going for Messi or Neymar) is far from certain to not change.
I've multiplied the current (10) Red Cards per game played to round to the nearest whole number (= 11 Red Cards in total)
So if all of the above happen (which is obviously highly unlikely) then the Final Result will be a ridiculously tight finish:
1 (2) wonderwall 333 2 (1) smokeyb 330 2 (2) frag 330 4 (6) Maximo Mark 328 5 (4) raliverpool 321 6 (9) suedehead 313 7 (10) Andy 310 8 (11) shireblogger 308 9 (7) misterhamster 306 10 (13) Robin 297 11 (5) Earl Purple 293 11 (14) dazthehammer 293 13 (11) Paddy 267 14 (8) rewardman 264
rewardman suffers in this scenario because he is the only player left whom has had two of his Semi Final or better predictions knocked out of the tournament (for this games perspective he & Paddy needs Belgium to KO Argentina in their QF tie, to bring down all the other players who have predicted Argentina to reach at least the Semi Finals or better); etc.
So hopefully we will get to the Final and a number of different players can still win dependent on the outcome.

Looks like most of us overestimated the number of red cards. Let's hope it stays that way.

With the points given for the current "live" situations:
All surviving Semi Finalists = 35 Pts each Top Goalscorer Name = Rodriguez (Col) Total Goals Scored By Top Goal Scorer = 6 Red Cards in Tournament = 10 Total Goals in Knock Out phase = 19 Matches going to Pens Shootout = 3
With 4 Games left to played on separate nights (Tues, Wed, Sat, & Sun) I plan to post daily updates (the following early evening) to reflect the change to the scores and the Leaderboard.

With the points given for the current "live" situations:
All surviving Semi Finalists = 35 Pts each (only Suedehead predicted Germany would reach the Final (as losing Finalists to Brazil) so banking 70 points; the rest of us who predicted Germany would be losing Semi Finalists bank 40 points). Top Goalscorer Name = Rodriguez (Col) Total Goals Scored By Top Goal Scorer = 6 Red Cards in Tournament = 10 Total Goals in Knock Out phase = 31 Matches going to Pens Shootout = 3
Suedehead needs Argentina to be defeated by the Netherlands tomorrow to make things very interesting, the rest of the leading contenders do not want that to occur.

Apologies I got this all prepped on my excel spreadsheet doc, then forgot I had not posted this!:
Leaderboard Update (After First 2nd Semi Final result)
Current # (Grp #) Player Pts
1 (3) wonderwall 265* 2 (4) frag 264 3 (6) raliverpool 258 4 (7) Andy 248 5 (8) Maximo Mark 243* 5 (1) suedehead 243 7 (9) misterhamster 241* 8 (10) shireblogger 240* 9 (5) Earl Purple 236 10 (2) smokeyb 235 11 (11) dazthehammer 233* 12 (14) Robin 228 13 (12) rewardman 194 14 (13) Paddy 189
With the points given for the current "live" situations:
All surviving Semi Finalists = 35 Pts each; and whoever predicted Argentina or Germany would reach the Final banks 70 points. Top Goalscorer Name = Rodriguez (Col) Total Goals Scored By Top Goal Scorer = 6 Red Cards in Tournament = 10 Total Goals in Knock Out phase = 31 Matches going to Pens Shootout = 4
If Argentina win the World Cup Final they will score an additional 30 points which would delight those with an * by their score, which will almost certainly guarantee wonderwall wins this prediction game.
None of us predicted Germany would win the World Cup. As all of us predicted Brazil would reach at least the Semi Finals, and none of us predicted the Netherlands would reach the Semi Final, then it makes little difference if Brazil win the 3rd place play off banking another 5 points.
If Germany win the world cup, then it will probably come down to a two horse race between wonderwall v frag on these variables:
Top Goalscorer Name: Messi (4) v Neymar (4) Total Goals Scored By Top Goal Scorer: 8 v 6 Red Cards in Tournament: 10 v 20 Total Goals in Knock Out phase: 40 v 35

Top Goalscorer Name = Rodriguez (Col) Total Goals Scored By Top Goal Scorer = 6 Red Cards in Tournament = 10 Total Goals in Knock Out phase = 35 Matches going to Pens Shootout = 4
In the end a German victory ensured the places there would be no dramatic changes, with the top 3 remaining unchanged.
Congratulations to wonderwall for winning, with frag just one point behind in runners up spot.
