The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar begins this Sunday - so, let's see if we can predict the winners!

In the first round, the 32 teams are split into eight groups of four (which you can see here). The top two teams from each group advance - so, I'd like you to predict which teams those will be. Guesses must be in by Saturday (at 11:59pm GMT), and you get 20 Coffee Credits for each answer!

My guesses:

Group A: Ecuador Ecuador and Netherlands Netherlands
Group B: England England and United States USA
Group C: Argentina Argentina and Mexico Mexico
Group D: France France and Denmark Denmark
Group E: Spain Spain and Germany Germany
Group F: Belgium Belgium and Morocco Morocco
Group G: Brazil Brazil and Cameroon Cameroon
Group H: Portugal Portugal and Ghana Ghana

We'll do more predictions for each round of the tournament (up to and including the final) - and at the end, a Rosettered Red Ribbon will be given to the winner, as long as they win at least 800 Coffee Credits, and win at least 100 Coffee Credits more than the runner-up.

Good luck :) !

Oh wow, I forgot all about that :O !

But I certainly won't rule it out - because France always seem to be either title contenders, or absolutely nowhere, with not very much in between :lol: .
I won't lie, I'm mainly doing it so that my predictions are at least different to yours in some way. :P
Group A: Senegal 🇸🇳 and Ecuador 🇪🇨 
Group B: Iran 🇮🇷 and United States 🇺🇸 
Group C: Argentina 🇦🇷 and Mexico 🇲🇽 
Group D: Australia 🇦🇺 and Denmark 🇩🇰 
Group E: Germany 🇩🇪 and Japan 🇯🇵 
Group F: Canada 🇨🇦 and Morocco 🇲🇦 
Group G: Brazil 🇧🇷 and Cameroon 🇨🇲 
Group H: Uruguay 🇺🇾 and South Korea 🇰🇷
Group A : Senegal and Netherlands
Group B : England and Wales
Group C : Argentina and Mexico
Group D : France and Denmark
Group E : Spain and Germany
Group F : Belgium and Croatia
Group G : Brazil and Cameroon
Group H : Portugal and Uruguay
Group A : Qatar and Netherlands
Group B : England and Wales
Group C : Argentina and Poland
Group D : France and Denmark
Group E : Spain and Germany
Group F : Belgium and Croatia
Group G : Brazil and Serbia
Group H : Portugal and Uruguay
Group A : Netherlands and Senegal.
Group B : England and USA.
Group C : Argentina and Mexico.
Group D : France and Denmark.
Group E : Spain and Germany.
Group F : Croatia and Belgium.
Group G : Brazil and Cameroon.
Group H : Portugal and Ghana.

(EDIT By Kyng: J-Ster sent me the following prediction for the first second-round match, since TCH wasn't loading for him):

Australia vs. Argentina: Argentina wins
Group A : Netherlands and Senegal.
Group B : England and USA.
Group C : Argentina and Mexico.
Group D : France and Denmark.
Group E : Spain and Germany.
Group F : Croatia and Belgium.
Group G : Brazil and Cameroon.
Group H : Portugal and Ghana.


I wouldn't normally tag everyone in a thread, but... I've discovered a problem. The group stage ends on 2nd December (i.e. tomorrow), and the knockout stage begins on 3rd December - with no break in between them. That means we'd have less than a day to set up the second round and get everyone's predictions in... and it just isn't enough time :( .

So, what I'm going to do is: I'll post the first four second-round matches now. These will be played on 3rd and 4th December, so we'll have two days to get everyone's entries in. Then, on 3rd December, I'll post the last set of four second-round matches (which will be played on 5th and 6th December, so we'll again have two days to get everyone's entries in). It's not ideal, but I don't write the schedule for the tournament.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the first four second-round matches:

Netherlands Netherlands vs. United States USA
Argentina Argentina vs. Australia Australia
England England vs. Senegal Senegal
France France vs. Poland Poland

Simply predict who will win each match, and you'll win 50 Coffee Credits for each correct answer. My predictions are:

Netherlands vs. USA: USA wins
Argentina vs. Australia: Argentina wins
England vs. Senegal: England wins
France vs. Poland: France wins

Good luck, everyone :) !
