Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted June 13, 2018 Here we go again. I'll try to post the games, but due to some work commitments, I might not be able to do them all. Maybe MSC or YW can help. Basically, I'll (try to) put up the games and you have to predict the scores before the games. Nice and simple. No prizes, but you will have the bragging rights. Have a good WC and I hope you do well. Not as good as me though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted June 13, 2018 By the magic of the random number generator from 1 - 5, it tells me that the score of Russia vs Saudi Arabia is 2 - 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,054 Posted June 13, 2018 I'll go with a blind technique. This result will go with the number of letters in the country in the first half of the alphabet. Russia (A, I) - 2 Saudi Arabia (A, B, D, I) - 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,617 Posted June 13, 2018 I predict that after a very cagey first half Russia will score early in the second half, with Saudis surprisingly pulling one back minutes later, then the Russians scoring late in the game to take it 2-1. At least that's what my Malaysian mates are telling me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219 Posted June 13, 2018 The Saudis are going to be a bit fucked before they kick a ball. They won't be winning many games wearing that kit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted June 14, 2018 By now, all of the people who actually give a toss about the score have picked one. I'm claiming the most simple score which hasn't been taken yet. Russia 0-1 Saudi Arabia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
