From Wikipedia
The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA, the International Federation of Association Football), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The reigning champions are France, who won their second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia.

3 Man Utd players, I'd be a worried England fan.

Should of had one Brentford player though.
Lucky one of the players is called Marcus.


2 groups decided and only Ghost and Dive with 4/4 correct so far.

Great free kick, thought Wales were disappointing. As they have been throughout the tournament.

Interesting match against Senegal coming up... Probably 0-0 then pens. Although Mendy is prone to the odd mistake or 4.

Foden should be starting imo, he might give away the ball a few to many times but he also might score a couple. Him and Rashford looked much better than Stirling and mount.

Difficult to judge the England performances due to lack of quality shown by Wales and Iran. Did Southgate only start flair players because Wales had had such a poor tournament? Will he revert to type against Senegal? If he does it has 0.0 written all over it, since Senegal's African Cup of Nations Journey was based around clean sheets even with Mane in the team.

Rashford and Foden seem to be hitting form at the right time, so I hope he sticks with them, but we didn't need to protect the defence by always choosing safe passes in midfield against Wales, so Senegal will probably be different given Southgate's cautious nature.

Being brutally honest Ward's position for the free kick helped Rashford. He seemed to cover the wall's half of the goal and leave his half wide open, but Rashford is definitely doing better.

Ward isn't great tbf. I don't think Rashford will start, he'll probably go back to Saka, but has to be Foden over Stirling. Senegal missing Mane, they're still good but attack then and it should be comfortable enough.

Unsurprisingly no one has Aus going through and somewhat surprisingly ghost and Dive are still tied with 7/8. Will do a proper taly after the groups have been decided.

Ghost jumps ahead with 10/12 correct.

I believe Ghost was the only one who picked Japan and I was the only one who picked Morocco to go through. One of my random darts had to stick 🤣
