Ian vs Cory: World Cup Showdown

At the end of our World Cup Previews with Cory from Three Rivers Burgh Blog, we went head-to-head predicting the winners. We’ll be keeping a running tally of how both Ian and Cory had done as the World Cup progresses and teams are eliminated or move on in the tournament.

– Correctly predict a team reaches the knockout stage + 1 point
– Correctly predict finishing place in group +1 point
– Correctly predict group champion +1 point
– Correctly predict a team in the final 8 +2 points
– Correctly predict a team in the final 4 +4 points
– Correctly predict teams in championship game +6 points
– Correctly predict 3rd place team +8 points
– Correctly predict World Cup Champion +10 points

With that in place, the current standings are:
