Day Twenty Update
Admin: as SS didn't tip the Dutch/Brazilian game he gets the lowest score achieved in it, -3 by most of us.
The Orange victory eluded most prognostications, with the honourable exceptions of Steulen & bi, who both get 4s for the one goal margin and GIMH & fatt who get big 5s for 2-1 nailed on.
Most call the Uruguayan win, with Noble One getting a 4 for the draw and penalty victory and Meridio the maximum 5 for a 1-1 with a spot kick win. Exceptions are fred, GIMH, Adam & fatt. Particularly harsh on mr fertang who was the width of a crossbar from nailing 2-1 to Ghana for a 5 but ends with -3 for his troubles.
No tips from ripper who gets the day's lowest, fred's & Adam's -6s.

Daily bonuses for their 7s to Stuelen and bi then, with the former climbing to 12th and the latter finally creeping into a postive score.
Other big movers are southwards with Adam slipping from 5th to 11th and fred down to 21st thanks to their minus half-dozens.

Day Twenty-One Update
Housekeeping: dav didn't tip the first game, so get's the lowest achieved, minus 3 by everyone who backed Argentina.
Quite a few baked the Germany victory, but no one went for 4-0. Everyone bar tozz backed the Spanish win with ripper, SS, Vimes & Adam bagging maximums for the 1-0 win.

Daily bonuses then to our top boys Adam, Samuel & ripper. No score from either of our leaders which allows Matteh todraw level on 43 with Pothas, but the latter's bonuses keep him in front.

Scoring changes for Semi Finals & semi fixtures
Again, largely as you were but with extra points on offer/at risk to reflect the level of competition.
Also, as there are only two games, there will not be a daily bonus on offer, but a bonus for the round's top scorer worth .02 rather than the usual .01.
- A correct outcome scores 4 points
- A correct margin of victory scores 5 points
- A spot-on scoreline scores 7 points
- An incorrect prediction scores -4 points
