trophy The winner, despite getting both of the final games wrong, the IFFA Supremo — that’s never happened before, ArgentIAN!

Tuchel/Scaloni Award for the least effective tactics in a major game — Centre Holds It (Emma).

Thanks for playing along, especially the kids (and some adults) who got involved, even if they lost interest part of the way through!

Tuchel/Scaloni Award

How it Works

  • Pick the team you think will win each match.
  • The numbers in brackets after is team is the current world ranking. This may change slightly when it is updated just before the World Cup starts.
  • In the groups stages you can choose a draw as a possible result.
  • You score 3 points if you are correct.
  • Come back to this page each day to check the Leaderboard.
  • There will also be a Kids Leaderboard. Adults performing poorly may not ask to be added to this. Kids will be included in both leaderboards for the purposes of humiliation.
  • There are a lot of games! After every eight games it's time to put in your next set of tips.
  • Certain behaviours, as yet undefined, may result in a player receiving a yellow card Yellow Card. There are no red cards red_card.
  • The person with the most yellow cards at the end of the competition will be required to video themselves singing a goodly sample of one of these songs:
    • Three Lions (It's Coming Home)
    • Waltzing Matilda
    • Any song by Shakira

Rules - not many!

  • Your tips must be in before the first game in each set kicks off. I'll post reminders on WhatsApp.
  • You must use the same name each time you submit tips. You can change your alias.
    • Note: If you change your mind you can resubmit your selections, as long as you do it before the first game in that set kicks off.
  • The game is "Football" any use of the "S" word will result in an immediate yellow card Yellow Card.
