I guess I missed the deadline for general prediction, right?

Yeah me too I guess

I really tried to start doing it but the thing about the best 3rd place teams also qualifying for the knockout stage was such a turn off

and I love prediction games

Yes. But i make separate standings for day to day. At this rate you are guaranteed a top 5
