Uhhh man, thanks for the reminder, im sick and i cant see so many games of the WC, but seeing the results we have so far, i dont know what can we expect this second round.

Japan always plays good football but never ends winning something big, i wish they can this time go to 16- round. For Germany..... can you imagine two times out in group stage?


Good luck to all.

Brazil vs. Serbia is another analysis, Serbia is a superior team to Japan and Saudi Arabia, we already had perhaps the best (for now) with Portugal vs. Ghana, the match of Bra vs. SRB can bring us a good game too, but in this case it would not be the big surprise. (OxO):FT. Bra vs. Srb.

Brasil is better than us, but it will not be a surprise if we finish with draw, or even a win, it is a much closer call, than Saudi Arabia
Japan is also a solid team, they are much better than Arabia IMO

so far, so good, Brasil attacking, we defend, but doing that good, back to second half

It looks like Brazil was better or at least they managed to score two goals. Serbia had their chances but couldn't score. The second goal by Richarlison was a real beauty. Just perfect!

Thanks for the reminder  I just sent my answers! Good luck guys

The second goal by Richarlison was a really beauty. Just perfect!

That's definitely the best goal of the first of round and the tournament so far, and it to be honest it's not even close.

Brazil showed absolute class, and despite Serbia's resistance for a long period and the first half in general. Brazil just have so many options in attack, and even 80% of their bench players would be starters in most of the teams in this world cup.

I just wish that was nothing but a knock that Neymar picked up in the closing minutes of the game, it would be such a shame to see him ruled of the tournament just this early.


@Trofo @Cryptofrka I also didn't find the textbox to enter my Username, I'll wait for a few hours more before submitting my picks incase that wasn't intentional, or putting in my "btt username:" just along the "betslip id:", in the textbox provided for Betslip ID.

It never crossed my mind that the field for the username is missing, but I don't remember entering my username anywhere in the form (I already sent my answers). I'll see what the dynamic duo (Trofo and cryptofrka) will say when they read the comments.

[LTU_btc]

I also just sent my answers and I only realized that there was no field for username after reading this thread. I hope that everything is ok. I think it's possible to identify user through bet ID, but offcourse, it's extra work for Sportsbet and you guys.
BTW, you made great questions for 2nd round. It was interesting to think a bit trying to answer it.

Good job on catching that one, I was about to finalize my picks and then saw your post. I guess I'll have to wait as well and see if they have some extra instructions.

Japan always plays good football but never ends winning something big, i wish they can this time go to 16- round. For Germany..... can you imagine two times out in group stage?

It's definitely doable for Japan as the bookies have them as favorites for the second round vs Costa Rica and a second win should guarantee them a playoff spot.

[notblox1]

Brazil was much better in second half and they deserved to win.
What are your predictions for tomorrow matches in world cup?
It was not easy for me to see outcome of Wales vs Iran match, but I expect Netherlans, England and Senegal to win easier.

[darxiaomi]

What a pleasure its always see Brasil playing their football, its something like no other country have, that dance, that speed, that flow to play its only of  Brasil, and i say this being from Argentina.

They dance, they dont play football.

And yes what a GOLAZO by Richarlison in that second one, another thing about Brasil its, they are playing with a lot of forwards.

I dont know who can end second in that group, i choose Serbia, but..... its gonna be a tought one.

Sorry about that guys, we were traveling whole day and didn't have opportunity to check stuff before. Our mistake.

Placing your username next to ID should work fine and for those that did not do that we will find a way to do. It is now 3 AM and we drove for more than 10 hours straight so we will take care of it tomorrow with clear head.

Just make sure to submit answers to questions and we will find a way to take care of the rest. If you did not submit already place username along with your bet id. Can't hurt

Got that, you guys should your take time, thanks.

I just submitted my picks and placed my username right before the betslip id.

[buwaytress]

It's already a wrap for those 5 users who predicted Spain to score the most goals, as I don't see Brazil scoring more than 7. I've been fighting my spirit for changing my first response (England) to Belgium, but I'm at peace now since Spain dropped us that classic performance yesterday, this dudds are running riot and all eyes must be on them.

Yeah, yet another reminder of the failings of Argentina... think those who picked England would be kicking themselves but hey, credit to Spain, I did not see that coming. Worse, I didn't even watch that game...

Will we send the answer to the questions without providing our username? I noticed that you did not check the boxes for it!!!

It did ask for our Google accounts though, so they should have been able to tie that to our previous submissions I didn't even realise this but I don't mind sharing my bet in PM again!

100% agreed my man. I had my doubts about Richarlison, but his goal has lit up the tournament. Sure, Spain did their job too but this was how you encapsulated everything about Brasil in one move. The only thing I felt missing was some kind of dance celebration, but I guess we needed Neymar to score to see that!

[boltz]

Fortunate or not , that 2nd goal of Richarlison was the only one I caught live yesterday but I was left without words and without movement when I saw that beauty! What a masterpiece!

Today I have a feeling that Iran might score against Wales ...they've played good 2nd half against England so I do expect at least 1 goal from them.

[cryptofrka]

Hey fellas, sorry about the f**kup. The last few days have really been hectic.

Trofo already replied yesterday and I checked the spreadsheets just now, some of you helped a lot with submitting the usernames next to your bet ID.

Those that did not, please just drop me your ID number and your username in PM and send it just to me so that Trofo does not kill me

There is half an hour left to go and 5 people still did not submit answers. Hopefully you make it guys.

Points have been checked, we will probably send the groups leaderboards as text around noon and then make nicer graphics once we get back home (Sunday).

Regarding the Brazil question - it was posted before we could watch the actual game. It surprised us, because they played with 4 offensive players - they don't do that often.
If they start with 4 again in their next game, we will accept any 3 picks that will be correct.

That question would have been modified a bit ofc - but things like these are bound to happen when we have to put questions in advance so I hope you guys don't mind.

Cheers and enjoy the 2nd round!

[Trofo]

Here are preliminary results of MD1, proper graphics will become available in a couple of days when we get back home
Each of you is in charge to check his own results, if mistakes have been made, send me a PM. But we all know we don't make mistakes so that is just pro forma 


2 participants have not sent their answers for MD 2, you can send them whenever you feel like it but games that already started will be credited as 0 points of course.

[hakan2217]

I sent my sportsbet Username and bet id to you sir and what was the question about wales ıran game? Was that Who is ganna lead the position %?

tough competition in first round, group C is a death group obviously, all with same score
looking at stats, 7 is maximum (kudos to slackovic), 1 is minimum

on to next round, Wales kept the ball, and Iran scored goals, brought my parlay down

[jayce]

That's definitely the best goal of the first of round and the tournament so far, and it to be honest it's not even close.

Very solid points but for the best goal in the first round, I'll go with Asano's goal with that an impossible angle against Neuer as one of the best goalkeepers in current generation.

Those that did not, please just drop me your ID number and your username in PM and send it just to me so that Trofo does not kill me

You guys doing a great work. My ID and username pmed.

[ajochems]

Brazil was the top most team in the league. Their game was always special as compared to the other team. They always made the first half goal as compared to other nations. It was their signature game as compared to other team. Iran going to make their best on the upcoming match Vs Wales. Walves game was good, put their game need to improve against the Iran. But it’s not an impossible to them on tomorrow match. Iran had a good game as compared to the Walves. The first offensive team will win most of the season.

[notblox1]

Catastrophic predictions for me today with World Cup matches
I got only Senegal to win correct, but I really didn't expect to see Netherland and England both drawing their matches.
Iran is not going to be easy nut to break for team USA, and we know it's more than sports in this match, so best bet could be many yellow cards.
