What Nathan said in the WC thread really...

it would've been quite easy to tweet a load of "Germany will win 3-1" tweets for either realistic outcome (about 20 at most), and then two more for "Argentina/Germany will win in ET", two more for "Argentina/Germany will win on penalties", 15-20 "[NAME] will score" tweets and about ten "there will be a goal [TIME HERE]" tweets

Fewer than 100 tweets needed to make it look scarily accurate, really.

No.

Not much else to be said, really. Football isn't an accurate enough sport to be "fixed" with such accuracy... especially with Gotze coming on late. He could have missed every shot he had, and then what? "Fix" goes out the window...

They make loads and loads of accounts with loads and loads of different predictions then delete as applicable. Happens with practically every big match

That's why the URL is all gobbledygook. There's loads of them
