Anyone here is gonna watch the FIFA World Cup ? Are you rooting a team in particular ?
While the political aspects of the organization leave many doubts about the choice of Brazil as host country, when it comes to the game itself, it should be interesting!
Also, some of you may remember that four years ago, I organized a small prediction game among smashers in order to see who was the best at giving the right winner and score for each game. It had a fairly good success, with about 50 Smashers participating, including well known ones like Aniolas (3rd), Cyr (6th) or Armada (19th).
Well, this game is back, so prepare yourself!
The concept is simple : for each game, I will ask you to predict a score. If you find the right winner (or accurately predict a draw), you will earn points. And if you predict the right score you get bonus points !
Also, there are two more ways to get bonus points : first, by guessing the top 3 teams of the event. Getting them in the right order obviously gets you more points. And then, by guessing which team will make it out of each pool. Order doesn’t matter for this one.
How do I play ?
I will use Google forms to gather answers. To play, it’s simple : just fill the the form with your predictions, and voilà !
Obviously, you will need to fill the forms before the games begin. Make sure not to be late, every score received after the game started will not count.
NB : The forms are in both English and French, because as a member of the French Smash community, quite a few players from there are participating.

I don’t know anything about football !
It doesn’t matter, if can still be fun! Last time, Doraki decided to play, and the definitelyt doesn’t know anything about football. He used a statistic approach, and enter 1-0 for every single game. Including North Korea-Brazil, which was quite hilarious. And statistics got him far, as the managed to get 10th place out of 50 in the final ranking !
I missed the beginning, but I wanted to enter
That isn’t a problem, you’ll just play hard mode : all the games you missed will not count, but if your predictions are good, you can still rank well !
Where can I get more information about the squads and the pools ?
Wikepedia is fine.
I call that sport soccer!
Don’t worry, we still like you.
Good luck to everyone !
