Hi, I've been asked if i'm doing a world cup thread this time around, so i have come up with the following idea... From all the World Cup games below, simply predict the winners of each game, all correct outcomes receive one point. You can select your choices all at once or if you want to make it more fun, make individual choices just before the game once you get to know the teams better. There are 48 games to start with so 48 points available in the first stage. Remember to predict before a game. I will apply the same rules throughout the competition unless i state otherwise, so don't wait for me to prompt people to pick the teams in the latter stages, if i'm not around continue to make your selections. As i say it's up to you when you make your selections, if you arrive to the competition late you can still participate as there is plenty of points up for grabs; WORLD CUP 2018 FIXTURE LIST & RESULTS GROUPS - http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/groups/ Thursday 14th June Russia vs. Saudi Arabia 5-0 Friday 15th June Egypt vs. Uruguay 0-1 Morocco vs. Iran 0-1 Portugal vs. Spain 3-3 Saturday 16th June France vs. Australia 2-1 Argentina vs. Iceland 1-1 Peru vs. Denmark 0-1 Croatia vs. Nigeria 2-0 Sunday 17th June Costa Rica vs. Serbia 0-1 Germany vs. Mexico 0-1 Brazil vs. Switzerland 1-1 Monday 18th June Sweden vs. South Korea 1-0 Belgium vs. Panama 3-0 Tunisia vs. England 1-2 Tuesday 19th June Colombia vs. Japan 1-2 Poland vs. Senegal 1-2 Russia vs. Egypt 3-1 Wednesday 20th June Portugal vs. Morocco 1-0 Uruguay vs. Saudi Arabia 1-0 Iran vs. Spain 0-1 Thursday 21st June Denmark vs. Australia 1-1 France vs. Peru 1-0 Argentina vs. Croatia 0-3 Friday 22nd June Brazil vs. Costa Rica 2-0 Nigeria vs. Iceland 2-0 Serbia vs. Switzerland 1-2 Saturday 23rd June Belgium vs. Tunisia 5-2 South Korea vs. Mexico 1-2 Germany vs. Sweden 2-1 Sunday 24th June England vs. Panama 6-1 Japan vs. Senegal 2-2 Poland vs. Colombia 0-3 Monday 25th June Uruguay vs. Russia 3-0 Saudi Arabia vs. Egypt 2-1 Spain vs. Morocco 2-2 Iran vs. Portugal 1-1 Tuesday 26th June Denmark vs. France 0-0 Australia vs. Peru 0-2 Iceland vs. Croatia 1-2 Argentina vs. Nigeria 2-1 Wednesday 27th June South Korea vs. Germany 2-0 Mexico vs. Sweden 0-3 Serbia vs. Brazil 0-2 Switzerland vs. Costa Rica 2-2 Thursday 28th June Senegal vs. Colombia 0-1 Japan vs. Poland 0-1 England vs. Belgium 0-1 Panama vs. Tunisia 1-2 Final Group Standings - http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/groups/ KNOCK OUT PHASE The Round of 16 games take place from the 30th of June up until the 3rd of July, with two games taking place on each day.

Well that was a very predictable first game! brb 1 grumpygit 1 pegleg 1 Dozens of games to go, so anyone can participate.
Friday 15th June Uruguay Morocco Portugal grumpygit you seriously think Eygpt will turn over the South American giants, interesting and good luck!
Certainly are, ive been brain washed by the affects of modern domestic cup competitions not allowing draws anymore!
You know me brb, I like to play the outsider, not only that there were only 3 of us in the competition, so I was guaranteed to finish in 3rd place.
DebbieA 2 brb 2 pegleg 2 Resurgam 1 grumpygit 1 So grumpy is bottom already Resurgam was robbed of a point by a brilliant own goal in the 95th minute which saw Iran pull off the first shock of the tournament. Big game of the day, Portugal v Spain next.
You have to admit Egypt came close to upsetting the big boys. Saturday 16th June France. Argentina. Denmark. Nigeria...….…………..my long shot for this round, well you have to make it interesting.
Resurgam 2 DebbieA 2 brb 2 pegleg 2 grumpygit 1 Good shout by Resurgam with the Portugal/Spain draw could well have been a full house for him... #Iran
No change after France and Argentina the latter tripping us all up... Resurgam 3 DebbieA 3 brb 3 pegleg 3 grumpygit 2 Two evening matches to go still for today.
Pegleg 4 Resurgam 3 DebbieA 3 brb 3 grumpygit 3 Peru were unlucky. Despite grumpygit getting the correct outcome in that game, the point has been applied but VAR says he stays bottom Last of todays game to go Croatia v Nigeria tonight.
