World Cup 2014 Tournament Predicta

This is separate to the World Cup 2014 Game Predicta which (I believe) Andy will be running.

I would like you to predict the following:

Predict for 8 Groups
Winners (5 Pts correct, 2 if finish as group runners up)
Runners Up (5 Pts correct, 2 if finish as group winners)

Group A

Brazil

Croatia

Mexico

Cameroon

Group B

Spain

Netherlands

Chile

Australia

Group C

Columbia

Greece

Ivory Coast

Japan

Group D

Uruguay

Costa Rica

England

Italy

Group E

Switzerland

Ecuador

France

Honduras

Group F

Argentina

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Iran

Nigeria

Group G

Germany

Portugal

Ghana

USA

Group H

Belgium

Algeria

Russia

South Korea

Then predict the following where you can score a maximum:

World Cup Winner (If correct score 100 pts)
Runner Up (If correct score 70 Pts)
Two Losing Semi Finalists (40 Pts if win 3rd Place Play Off, 35 Pts if lose 3rd Place Play Off)
Four Losing Quarter Finalists (20 Pts)
(10 Pts if side goes out in Last 16 Knock out)

I.E. If you predict Brazil to win the world cup but they go out in the Quarter Finals then you score 20 Pts; likewise if you predict the Netherlands to be a losing Quarter Finalists but they go on to win the World Cup, then you score 20 Pts as that is the points ceiling of that prediction

In addition there are the following Bonus Prediction Questions:

Predict The Top Goalscorer (1 Point per goal scored + 5 Pts if that player Top Goal Scorer)
Predict Total Goals Scored By Top Goal Scorer (5 Points if correct, 2 if one goal either way, 1 if two goals either way)
Total Red Cards in Tournament (10 Points if correct with one point deducted for each red card prediction away, down to 0 Pts for being 10 or more red cards away)
Total Goals in Group Stage of Tournament (48 Matches) (20 Points if correct with one point deducted for each goal prediction away, down to 0 Pts for being 20 or more goals away)
Total Goals in Knock Out phase of Tournament (16 Matches) (10 Points if correct with one point deducted for each goal prediction away, down to 0 Pts for being 10 or more goals away)
Total number of Matches Going to Penalty Shoot Outs (5 Points if correct, 2 if one match either way, 1 if two matches either way)

Note: Successful penalties in Penalty Shoot outs DON'T count as goals

and four Yes/No Questions (5 Points awarded for each correct prediction)

Will More Than One Hat-Trick Be Scored?
Will a Goal be Scored within the first minute of any Game?
Will England score more than 5 goals during the Tournament?
Will a goal be awarded using goal line technology?

You have and to before the kick off of the first Game of the Tournament (Thursday 12th June 21:00 Hrs UK time) to post your predictions in this thread:

If you are not sure what is required I will post a template with semi-mock Predictions in the next post for you to use.

^ You beat me too this:

1. Thomas Muller v Portugal, at this rate (after 15 of 64 games) there will be 4 hat-tricks.
2. Clint Dempsey (USA) 30 second goal against Ghana
3. If they carry on at this rate: just 3 goals and group stage elimination.
4. Yes, France's 2nd goal v Honduras


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.

Whilst there have been 47 goals in the first 15 matches which extrapolates to 150 goals for the group phase (48 games) of the Tournament.
