End of Day 1 Summary

The most psychic team of the tournament so far:

1= 100% (1/1): Mexico, Peru, Saudi Arabia
4. 83.33% (5/6): Team Mathematics
5. 75% (3/4): Australia
6. 50% (2/4): Germany
7= 50% (1/2): Denmark, Egypt, Russian Federation
10. 42.86 (3/7) Belgium
11. 35.29% (6/17) England
12. 33.33 (1/3) Argentina
13. 0% (0/1) Brazil, Spain, France, Croatia, Poland, Sweden, Senegal, USA(DNQ)
A further 13 teams made no predictions on the first match of the torunament, including Japan, where one pet made two opposite predictions on the same match, and thus was disregarded. One team (Morocco) has no pet supporters as yet.

What the average prediction would have been for game 1

There were 58 predictions made for game 1 which were split in the following way:
26 Russian Federation win
19 Saudia Arabian win
13 Draw

The most predictions were therefore made for a Russian Federation win, which was the actual result.

If we instead award +1 for each prediction of a Russian Federation win, -1 for each prediction of a Saudi Arabian win, and 0 for each prediction of a draw, then divide by the total number of predictions, to compute an average prediction, we get a prediction of 0.0862...... which is tipped a little towards the Russian Federation, but is really virtually a draw.
