Hmm. Beats me. I'd have thought predicting the correct winner would still net you a point. Although, I will admit to struggling with the points system ever since my nice, simple idea of 90-minute-only predictions was canned.
Not that I'm complaining. I understand how I got my 13 points in the past two days, which is good enough for me.
Regarding goal-line technology: while it would prevent what happened to England today, I don't think it would help those teams who have suffered from having onside goals disallowed, or offside goals allowed against them. That would require a far more comprehensive system of video review. Easy enough to implement in the major tournaments and rich domestic leagues, but not so much so across the board.
I'm in favour of the introduction of technology to aid officials in decision-making, but I can see there being problems with
that, too.
Anyway, I haven't fully decided what I think the scores will be in Tuesday's games, yet, so I'll just give the results for tomorrow, now:
Mon 28th
Netherlands 2 - 0 Slovakia
Brazil 3 - 1 Chile
