Just to add a little bit of interest into the marathon that is the 2026 World Cup Finals.... ..a simple predictions game....
...Donald J Trumps "Last Country Standing!".
Just pick a winning team in each of the eight rounds of the tournament. If your predicted team draws or loses (in the round you've predicted them to win) you're out. The only other parameter is you have to pick eight different teams and you have to make your predictions before the tournament starts.
My predictions:
1st Group Game: Austria
2nd Group Game: Portugal
3rd Group Game: Belgium
Last 32: Argentina
Last 16: Brazil
Quarter Finals: France
Semi Finals: Spain
Final: Netherlands
The person(s) whose predictions avoid defeat or a draw for the longest are the "Last Country Standing!" winner(s).
