champers Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 2 days to go, so it might be a bit of fun to see who can predict the top 4 in correct order. I'll kick it off: 1 Brazil 2 Belgium 3 Croatia 4 Germany I think VAR and travel distances will be important factors this time around. Let's hope for a good one.

Bluespunk Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 After the debacle of the BBC's best ever world cup shirt poll [1970's Peru should have won by a country mile] anything could happen. So, I'm going for Costa Rica to beat Saudi Arabia in the final. Australia to beat England in the third/fourth place playoff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMuddle Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Obviously Scotland would have won it if we'd qualified, but as it's only the lesser teams, I'll go for : 1 Germany 2 Argentina 3 France 4 Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point. Totally passed us by this time as normally it's a right ol merry go round concerning the WAGS.

mrbojangles Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 On another note. I arranged a sweep with work mates last night but wanted to give it a twist and make it interesting for those who pick out rubbish teams. So I made the prize breakdown for the team to get the first red card, first team to miss a penalty and the first team to officially be named as unable to qualify. Then the world cup winner, runners up and the third place play off winner. I got England (so a chance for the missed penalty!!) and Spain. The Mrs got Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
federico Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 1 France 2 Brazil 3 Germany (no Gary, they don't always win at the end of the game) 4 Argentina (Sorry my Spanish fellows but I am tired to see Nadal Barça and Real and Atletico Madrid always win everything everywhere) A remake of the 1998's final would suit me well...
