Here's an important question:

Let's say I predict a game to end 1-1
It ends 0-0

This means I get 2 points for predicting the goal difference right? So draws always get you at least 2 points because the goal difference is always zero?

Of course, it goes this way in all prediction games I've ever seen (not only Hungarian ones)...

Here are my tips for first round of group stage and my podium candidates.

Podium candidates:

1. Netherlands
2. Germany
3. Spain
4. England

Round 1:

Poland - Greece 1-0
Russia - Czech Republic 1-1

Netherlands - Denmark 3-1
Germany - Portugal 2-1

Spain - Italy 1-1
Ireland - Croatia 0-1

France - England 2-2
Ukraine-Sweden 1-1


Maybe we could tip for top scorer too? Even if no points are awarded for this, my bet is on Van Persie.

[BonzaiJoe]

Okay, I'm guessing Benzema.

Impressing start by Russia. Or is the Czech Republic that weak? Even Hungary beat them a few days ago...

I was sleeping during the first match today...

Really impressive. I was doubtful wether to bet on a draw or a Russian victory in my tips, but I never thought this would be the result... Maybe Czech is really that weak, I have problems tipping on their games because I have a personal love for them. Actually, I loved Nedved back when he was active and was very happy when they won Eurocup. I even use Czech Republic in every football game I play...

Won? You mean CZE finished 2nd in 1996.

Yes, sorry. I meant 3rd place in 2004 (Greece won that)

Football mafia exists... boring match, NED did not fight... the result is known...

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Today Chulk earned 2 points, while Bonzai Joe and Duplode 1 each.

Standings:

1 CTG 4
2 Akoss Poo 3
3 Duplode 2
3 Chulk 2
5 Usrin 1
5 Bonzai Joe 1

Pre-arranged win for DEN, lucky win for GER.

For tomorrow:

Spain-Italy 3-0
Ireland-Croatia 0-0

About top scorer bet... how is CTG's bet counting? He gets the 2 points only if both Van Persie and Rooney finish atop the top scorer table? Let's clarify this now before it's too late: If he gets points by any of them, then it would be fair if the rest could add a second bet...

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

It's like he had two halves of bet. If he has a 100% correct bet, he earns 2 points (while those who only tipped one of the scorers as top scorer, earns only 1 point). If only one of his bets is correct (someone wins it alone), then he earns 1 point (while those who tipped him as top scorer alone, earns 2 points). I think this is the most correct scoring method.

[CTG]

It's like he had two halves of bet.

Yes.
