Summary of all the predictions

The tips collected for the 2006 World Cup were compiled to produce the following picture of how 89 people thought the tournament would pan out.

For those interested here is the same info from 1998 and here is the same info from 2002.



So here's what happens, here I have the summaries for each match
and the predicted group positions based on everyones tip-the-score
predictions as well as the summary of the final placing predictions.

What appears here should be quite self-explanatory, feel free to ask
questions if you wish.
