With my friends we wanted to have a nice friendly competition (no money involved) about the football worldcup by predicting the results.<p>I though this might interest other groups of friends so I coded a website just for that in 3 days.<p>Nothing ground breaking but I like the suscription system "Doodle" style with just links, no personal infos...<p>Tell me what you think !

Friendly spelling check: "No suscription process" has "subscription" spelled incorrectly.<p>Also: "That's why you're here, aren't you? Do your forecast until the day before the each game, look at the stats, have fun with your friends !" has an unecessary "the" between "before" and "game". I'd rewrite the whole thing as:<p>"That's why you're here, aren't you? Do your forecast until the day before each game, look at the stats, and have fun with your friends!"<p>Still kind of an awkward sentence though.
Brilliant! Loved the minimal interface. Awaiting graphs.<p>Would it be possible to provide a search bar to search for leagues on the homepage ?<p>"Keeping URLs safe" seems to be too geeky. I personally don't mind but my friends who join my league won't be so tech oriented.<p>EDIT: Also, you ask for the league name while creating it. might as well make it convenient for users to use that name. Separately, the URLs for the leagues could be simplified to contain the name instead of numbers.
This is great!
Every time the world cup, eurocup, american cup comes around, me and my friends start a "quiniela" as this friendly betting game is called here (and elsewhere in the spanish speaking regions).
I always think about coding something like this but never get around to it. We end up using a hacked up Excel spreadsheet.<p>One suggestion: make it so that each league can modify their rules. The one I'm currently playing gives 1 point for getting the goals of team A, 1 for getting team B, 1 for guessing the winner or a tie and an additional point for getting the exact score. Don't know why but we've always played it that way, and I know there are other quinielas around that have their own rules.<p>I love that I don't even need to sign up.
Great work! I would like to see how you made it (when you get the chance to make a write-up).
It's nice to have fun sport apps!!
I'm a soccer (football) fanatic myself. Using meteor and "Discover Meteor" I built a fun app to have between friends:<p>Same concept as Hacker News but with GOOOAALLS instead of news. POST GOALS from your favorite players and vote for the best of them.<p>I cannot say that the site is ready for production environment but any feedback is appreciated:

Hey. Nice job on the app.<p>I have a BIG concern:<p>Why don't you input our teams into the Round of 16???? Why wait until you have the REAL results to input them?<p>People who didn't predict the winners (those teams which will get into the round of 16) should be penalized for not getting the teams right!!!! So why let people make predictions on Round of 16 if they didn't even get the teams right!?
Can you explain the numbers on this page? I don't understand what they represent:

what's the numbers on the average predictions mean (they are all 1.x)? also you've forgotten to translate some countries from French (Cameroun, Chil)
