Prediction Contests Are Just-For-Fun Games

"There are things that are uncertain for us, things more or less probable,

and we seek to compensate for the impossibility of knowing them

by determining their different degrees of likelihood.

So it was that we owe to the weakness of the human mind one of the most delicate

and ingenious of mathematical theories, the science of chance or probability."

If your prediction is that Team 2 is going to score 1 goal, then type that number in appropriate Cell of T2 Column. From the Quarterfinals onward, result at the end of eventual overtime (BEFORE penalties/shoot out) will count as final result.
