@PikeStance: 10 points? Have I missed any new scoring rule in the playoffs? 10 more points I have now, in the absence of a match (COL-ENG).
TOTAL = 10

It isn't possible to earn +3 points.

If you predict the correct winner it is +1
If the game ended as you predicted that is +1
If you predicted the final score, then that is +3

There are only five possibilities
Incorrect prediction of winner = 0
Only predicting the correct winner= 1
Predicting the correct scoreline (and winner)= 4
Predicting the winner and how it ended: 2
Predicting all three correctly= 5

You can only earn the "Bonus" points if you correctly predict the winner.

Uruguay/ Portugal: you correctly predicted all components = 5
Spain/ Russia: You correctly predicted the winner, the scoreline, but not how it ended = 4
Croatia/ Denmark: You correctly predicted only the winner = 1
Belgium/Japan: You correctly predicted the winner and how it ended = 2
Brazil/ Mexico: You correctly predicted the winner and how it ended = 2
Sweden/Switzerland: You earn all five points: 5
That is actually 19 points. Colombia/ England you earn just 1 point for predicting the correct winner. That is a grand total of 20 points.

@PikeStance: Thank you very much for the clarification! Now I understand it correctly. Also the playoffs ones allow obtain more possibilities to get more points. There will be excitement until the final matches of the World Cup.

So I used the "round of 16" well to not lose options to win the predictions game

I know the feeling,... The third round there was at least 3 games in which I went from earning 4 to zero points, but I manage to recover.

Key: Total Points (perfect predictions. 1st number perfect prediction from group stage and knockout, the second number is perfect socreline but not how it ended in knockout stage, use for tie-breaking only) : {Rd1}{Rd2}{Rd3} | [Rd16][QF][SF&F]


There are only 10 points left, and I am unexpectantly in first place guaranteed a third-place finish. LOL and myself are on a hot streak, earning 15 and 17 points respectively in the last two rounds. There are 4 people still mathematically capable of placing, however only three mathematically alive to win first place. Miguel needs all ten points and hope I do not earn a single point. Second place is within reach.


The Finals
x - x : Belgium vs. England
x - x : France vs. Croatia


Good Luck!
