Will probably upload the first set of fixtures next Wednesday which will give you a week to predict. Still open for more to come in if they want to join....

Rather than overly confuse things, games will be listed in the order they are played, rather than alphabetically.

If anyone's interested there is a cracking Excel spreadsheet for the World Cup here: http://www.excely.com/football/2018-fifa-world-cup...

Despite not knowing anything about football I've agreed to take part in our work football prediction thingy this time round. We have a spreadsheet just like the one above.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any resources that would help me fill this out? Or would anyone who is really good at this be willing to share?

Thanks!

Can't help you with the spreadsheet, Alex, but you're more than welcome to join this one.

Don't worry about not knowing anything about football, it's a pre-qualifying condition for this competition. thumbup

Right, here goes!

Predictions must be in by midnight on Wednesday 13th June Remember the rules, a "no show" will mean you get zero points awarded for every match. Three strikes and you're out. Dem's da roolz, innit.

Here we go then for Round 1...

Thur 14 - Russia v Saudi Arabia
Fri 15 - Egypt v Uruguay
Fri 15 - Morocco v Iran
Fri 15 - Portugal v Spain
Sat 16 - France v Australia
Sat 16 - Argentina v Iceland
Sat 16 - Peru v Denmark
Sat 16 - Croatia v Nigeria

Sun 17 - Costa Rica v Serbia
Sun 17 - Germany v Mexico
Sun 17 - Brazil v Switzerland
Mon 18 - Sweden v Korea
Mon 18 - Belgium v Panama
Mon 18 - Tunisia v England
Tue 19 - Colombia v Japan
Tue 19 - Poland v Senegal

One difference from the Premier League Predictathon that I didn't mention, don't worry about hyphens as I'm not copying this across to a spreadsheet. And I've split the sixteen games into two groups of eight games just so it's easier on the eye rather than one gert long list.

Finally (I think), got room for four more people, will keep it to 20 if possible.

Good luck everyone.
