Hello there! I was wondering if anyone could help me. Im debating with my friend the answer to a puzzle we are trying to work out the answer to! If reagrds soccer macthes. Basically, we are trying to work out how many different accumlative result combinations there are for 8 games of soccer. For example, :  Obviously one combination is that every home team wins. Another combinaiton would be that every away team wins. Another being that all 8 games finish in a tie.

Then for exapmle 7 of the home teams could win but the 8th home team could either lose or tie!! And this could happen with any 8 of the games. I imagine there must be hundreds of combination. Could anyonecome up with an easy way to find the solution to this problem!!!!???

Thanks!!
