The 2nd round games are as follows: (deadlines for predictions in brackets)
Sat 24th - Germany vs Sweden (3pm)
Argentina vs Mexico (7pm)
Sun 25th- England vs Ecuador (3pm)
Portugal vs Netherlands (7pm)
Mon 26th- Italy vs Australia (3pm)
Switzerland vs Ukraine (7pm)
Tue 27th- Brazil vs Ghana (3pm)
Spain vs France (7pm)
Rules are as before. Basically if you predict the correct results you get 1 point. If you predict the correct score you get 3 points.
With Extra time and Penalties being implemented at this stage the rules will be as follows. If you predict the correct score you will get 3 points; e.g. England vs Ecuador goes to penalties after a 2-2 draw, and England score 5 goals in comparison to Ecuadors 3 goals in the penalty shootout. If you predicted a score of 7-5 to England you get 3 points. If not, you get 1 or 0 points depending on what you predicted the result to be.
For the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, 3rd Place Play-off and Final, predictions will be needed in THIS thread, by an hour before kickoff. I will try to post the fixtures as soon as they are known, but please do not rely on this and try to post of your own accord once you know what the fixtures will be.

I got confused with the penalties bit so I'm saying they will all be results after 90 mins
Originally posted by Freddie2006Okay, Freddie, before I go to something else, like actually playing chess, I want to make sure what I've posted is acceptable in format. It is what I think the final scores will be when a winner is actually declared and a loser is declared. I've included goals I think might be scored in penalty time. It is not necessary to state them separately, is it?

Originally posted by DelmerNo, the score you post should be the total, including goals scored in normal time, extra time and penalties. So, if Portugal beat Holland 5-3 in normal time, your prediction would still count and you would get 3 points.

I just posted the extra bit on mine so that I can show that I planned for the scores to pan out exactly how the did!
Hmmm... Well I think the rules suck and it should be the score after 90 mins, but I suppose it's the same for everyone, so here goes...
Argentina v Mexico 2 - 0
Germany v Sweden 2 - 1
England v Ecuador 1 - 0
Portugal v Holland 5 - 3
Italy v Australia 1 - 0
Switzerland v Ukraine 2 - 4
Brazil v Ghana 2 - 0
Spain v France 4 - 3
