Tables coming soon... (Excel at work won't let me copy and paste the tables from my spreadsheet to the forums).
Official World Cup Tipping Competition
I feel like Argentina. Substandard performance, but still got a result. (although I had 21-17 margin - I will check & confirm later).
Not entirely sure, but did I get 27, not 24?
When will we know our second round opponents?
Thanks Patrick, for organising the tipping.

Thanks Patrick, for organising the tipping.
Second round opponents will come out when Australia vs Netherlands kicks off in the morning, since not all of the tips are in for it yet.
cheers for the match Jono
I'm pleased we were able to equalise with the last kick of the match ;-)
tight group

Yeah, a very competitive group.
That TAB bloke looks like he's going to be difficult to beat.

Cheers to you too, was an excellent fight, in the end I was just cheering for another goal in the Korea vs Russia game, didn't care who scored.
:D Only one to pick Chile whoop whoop!

Me neither. No way in hell are they getting anything out of that game.
Ah bugger. Forgot to update my last three. If I am allowed to add, I'd add Belgium 2, Algeria 1 and Portugal 1. If not, no sweat.

Yup, I'll allow it since I was also and because the games are aaaaaages away. Any objections?

I expect a bounce back after the disappointment of the first game. Mind you, I expected that from Spain as well...

had the same problem
Cheers for all this Patrick it's quite interesting to follow. In the first round my tips and detoxins were very different but we ended up with a tight match, in this round they're all very similar to Energy24.7's.
Appreciate the effort you put in to run it so just wanted to say cheers.

I think its my option to complain as Im your direct opponent this round, so I will... but thats because you are already winning 5-4!
I do trust you had these locked into a spreadsheet somewhere before the round started. If not, you are an evil mastermind to still have some incorrect tips to make it believable!
Heh, I did have them saved in the spreadsheet, obviously there's no way I can prove it so I just hope you trust me. If you would prefer that my late tips don't count that's fine by me, considering I did break my own rules.
I think we're talking free kick and a stern talking to; not red card territory Patrick.
Updated to include otagofans tips.
Round One results:
I have done my absolute best to make sure that all the scores are correct, however due to the large amount of calculations and data entry that has been made, there may be a mistake somewhere. If you feel like the score in your game isn't correct, please tell me and I will double check it and correct it if I need to.

Is there a tie break?

No tie break, a draw is a draw in the group stage (1 point for both players).

Hey patrick, just FYI TAB & detoxin aren't through yet as the teams on 3pts aren't playing each other meaning there can be a three-way tie on 6pts and it comes down to GD. This also means joseph isn't actually eliminated yet either as he can win and TAB win and technically make up his goal difference in a 3 way tie on 3pts :D
