PREDICT-A-WORLD-CUP!

Post by tubeguru »

Yes folks, it's quiz time again!

But this time there are no monetary prizes.

It's time to see how good you are at predicting stuff, so all you have to do is post a reply saying which team or teams will satisfy the following criteria.

Boring ones first:

Which team will win the World Cup?
Which teams will win each of the eight groups?
Who will score the most goals in the tournament?

OK, I'm bored of the boring ones:

Which African team will go the furthest in the competition?
Who will knock England out?
How many players will be sent off in the whole tournament?
How many people on this forum will moan when their teams don't win them any money?
How many goals will Brazil win the final by?
How many England supporters will be arrested by the police?
Which teams (if any) will fail to score a single goal and lose all of their group games?

That'll do for now. What do we all think?
