OK this isn't for every game, I'll leave that to the mighty Strolls as my heart would pack up doing every game ! Just pick your winner, your runner up and tournament top scorer ! 20 points for winning team, 10 points for runner up and 20 points for top scorer. If there's a tie then whoever has the goalscorer with the most goals will win. I'll give a bottle of wine or equivalent to the winner ! Good luck. I'll go for Brazil as winners, France as runners up and Martinez as top scorer !
I hope that includes shipping and handling HB, because I predict it's coming down under. So, ... who's playing again?
Well, if Bob Cousy smokes it, I'm converted. Just looked him up. He was born in 1928 and still going strong. Not fit for general consumption.
Going out on a limb here, I predict that just like the only other time we ever qualified for the finals, we will score 0 goals over the three matches and then just come back home and watch on TV. We open against Belgium (what are they, #2 in the world?). John Herdman has been a genius with our national team but it bears remembering that yes, we beat the US and Mex, but both were on nearly frozen pitches which I suspect will be in short supply in Qatar I know that in the other predictor league I have not, and will not pick against my club - but I am not optimistic about Canada's chances against Belgium and I don't anticipate that Morocco or Croatia will fall over for us either
Positivity Maple, you never know pal. Yeah Belgium will be tough, but I think you'll put up a decent showing overall and I fancy you to score a couple of goals in the group and get something against Morocco !
Can't see past Brazil & Argentina, both been in awesome form and with so many of Europe's big guns showing indifferent form, the heat of the desert and the stupid timing of the Tournament it'll take something extraordinary to get past those two. England likely to meet France and make their exit before the Quarters...
The Qatari Royal Family - Winners Corruption, Hypocrisy and Greed - Joint runners up Harry Kanes Mrs - Top Scorer
Winners - Australia Runners Up - Kazakhstan Top Scorer - Anyone of the Australian fullbacks, possibly the keeper to be precise. …… Ok, if l must. England ( if they play attacking football and not shut up shop and go all defensive) Best form of defence is attack.
What l don’t get is how any manager in any World Cup can think about winning anything by playing defensive mode. The winner of the World Cup is the most attacking country.
