2026 World Cup Competition

[malcolmw]

You can predict as many as you want, you may want to predict the first lot of matches each team plays.

It's up to you mate.

Was also wondering about that.
Given my finely tuned footballing mind, I think I'll wait and see how the games play out.
Rember the last one - when Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in the first round?
My theory on any world cup is that the teams that win easily in the first few games always seem to peak too early and then get knocked out when the pressure gets heavy

This theory has been proven many times by my South African cricket team

Thing is Malcolm, not to forget when your next set of matches start, if you decide to predict a few games at a time.

[1964white]

Only two sets of predictions in so far!

[Barlow Boy]

Only two sets of predictions in so far!

I’m definitely playing, give me some interest in the games I’m not bothered about.

It certainly does mate.

[White Riot]

WTF is a 'NAP'?

Maybe we should have a poll about this?

The match that you think is most likely to generate 40 winks

For the record, when these predictions flop, as they surely will, I want it known I would have predicted the other 36 games correctly.

[CUSSIE01]

The match that you think is most likely to generate 40 winks

All the England games then

[CUSSIE01]

Only two sets of predictions in so far!

I’ll be in, just need time to do them all at once or I’ll never remember the rest. Another good comp 64’

Thanks Cussie.

I'm in for a busy month with the World Cup, Royal Ascot, Holiday & Bowls season in full flow.

[White Riot]

All the England games then

We're gonna s**t house our way to the World Cup

Free kicks, penalties, corners, ploddyball, cheating like F, the lot of it

It's coming home

I have England to draw vs Croatia. I also think Semenyo could cause us problems when we play Ghana.

Panama who we always seem to draw should be comfortable victory,
