World Cup 2022 Predictions (Part 1)

World Cup time again, so here is the World Cup predictions competition.

 ⚽  🏆  ⚽  🏆  ⚽  🏆  ⚽  🏆  ⚽  🏆

Personal feeling I've never looked forward to a World Cup less, stupid time of the year.
In a country with no football tradition, sterile stadiums with only well off "well behaved fans".
England in a poor run of form, so at least we should hear less of every muppet saying "it's coming home"
 

Usual predictions rules - 3 Points for a correct score, 1 Point for a correct result.
Overall winner will be decided on the total points at the end of the competition (64 Games).

Extra rules for the knockout stages:
To stop all confusion and arguments the prediction will be the score at the end of normal time (90 minutes + injury time).
Extra time and Penalties will not count.
So if a game finishes 0-0 and goes into extra time and one team has 3 players sent off and lose 7-0 it will count as a 0-0 draw, Hopefully that makes sense 😁

All welcome to join in, plenty of time to catch up if you miss a few games.

Here's a list of the first round of games in the 2022 tournament.
Will post the rest in stages a few days before they are played.

These first round games are being played between Sunday 20th November to Saturday 26th November
Kicks off at 4pm on Sunday with a game between the 44th and 50th ranked teams in the world .. sigh!!

Qatar v Ecuador
England v Iran
Senegal v Netherlands
USA v Wales
Argentina v Saudi Arabia
Denmark v Tunisia
Mexico v Poland
France v Australia
Morocco v Croatia
Germany v Japan
Spain v Costa Rica
Belgium v Canada
Switzerland v Cameroon
Uruguay v South Korea
Portugal v Ghana
Brazil v Serbia

Good Luck All   😀

FPL Fantasy League (Top 10)

After a very poor start I'm up to 11th

 

 

TFF Fantasy League (Top 10)

Not a great season so far, but tons of transfers left.

 

Premier Predictions (Week 16)

Final set of games before the WC break.
With Ralph Rabbit-Hutch now gone David Moyes is the new favourite for the push (I want him to stay).
Man City should go top for 7 hours, Potter probably needs a win after some dodgy games.
All World cup bound players will be praying to get through this weekend.

Man City v Brentford
Bournemouth v Everton
Liverpool v Southampton
Nottm Forest v Crystal Palace
Tottenham v Leeds
West Ham v Leicester
Newcastle v Chelsea
Wolves v Arsenal

Brighton v Aston Villa
Fulham v Man Utd

Good Luck All  😀
