Just for fun pick who you think will come 1st and 2nd in each group and then the winners in the knockout stages to see who you think will win this year's tournament. I have Germany beating Belgium in the final. I predicted England to come 2nd in their group, beating Poland in the last 16 and losing to Germany in the quarter final. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/world-cup-2018-wallchart-predictor/
Spain to beat Brazil in the final. Also had England losing a QF to Germany and that was after kindly predicting a win against Colombia.
France to beat Brazil and Germany to beat Spain in the semis. Germany to beat France in the final. England beaten by Brazil in the quarter final.
If Germany and Brazil win their groups (almost certain), then England cant avoid either of these in the next two rounds. I did it twice: Germany beat Brazil in the final. England beat Germany in the final. I like the look of the second choice better!
Spain to beat Brazil in the final England to lose to Spain in the semis (I couldn't bring myself to give the Germans a win over us in the quarters)
I predict Vladimir will poison everybody and he will beat Russia in both semis and then beat himself in the final to win it outright forever.......................... In reality I think it’s the most open WC in ages and I think it will be England 3rd, beating France in play off for 3rd having beaten Germany in quarters with Belgium losing to Spain in final, having said that with my prediction record just lately you’ll probably find Panama beating Russia in the final is a more realistic outcome !!!
England beat brazil in the finals. England also beat germans in the quarters and argentina in the semis...true story.
