Photobucket had recently changed their policy and now all the images from my 650+ blog posts are disabled. I am slowly editing them by moving my images to my own server at AWS, but it will take time. In case there is a particular old post you want to see the images of, kindly drop me a mail at mizohican@gmail.com and I'll keep that at a high priority. Thank you.

Chp 512. World Cup: So how did I fare?


Now that the group stages are finally over, lemme take a look at how I fared on who won which match…

Like I said in my earlier post “World Cup 2014”, here’s a list of the teams I wanted to see winning. And as I mentioned in that same post - “This is in no way a prediction of course, because we know Argentina and Brazil are going to win most of their matches.” Yes, this is not about me predicting. It’s just me wanting to see such teams win.

Well, here’s my result…

25 nays, 14 yays, 9 draws.


Well, that is actually not a bad outcome, considering I was rooting for all the underdog teams, including any teams that powerhouse teams like Brazil, Argentina and Netherlands were playing against.

Now that the round of 16 is about to start, let’s hope I fare better :)
