Who will win the 2018 World Cup? Poll

[pocketscience]

As requested by ska invita - the u75 prediction poll!!!!*

*never set up a poll before - hope the settings are right

eta: closes in one day (midday friday 15th) - would have closed it before the tournament began but seeing as the Russia vs S.Arabia game will have zero bearing on the outcome - gives people more time to analyse the data. Predicting after the Spain vs Portugal is a no-no imo.

Brazil just look in great form and they have been for a while. You should never bet against the Germans, especially as the tournament is in Europe but I just fancy Brazil.

What I'd really like to see is a Brazil v Germany match, what with what happened at the last WC it'd make for very interesting viewing.

 

[ska invita]

Thanks! Maybe instead of Poland have Other field? Comedy option England is in there though

Football Brian, football will be the winner.

I think exactly that too.... Though I think they shouldve taken Sané

Spain Portugal looks the best match up of the group stages or have I missed something?

Sure, by far - voting after that game is unfair especially as "Allow voters to change their votes" is switched off.
The next best match up game I'd say is England vs Belgium.

Croatia has featured heavily in my life this week so I thought why not?

 

[Riklet]

Belgium have a fighting chance.

Argentina? Germany? England could do very well too tbh. I doubt Brazil will get to finals.

Poll now closed.
So how do we see who voted which team? I thought i'd set it up to become transparent once it closed.

If the votes are correct, it's looking like a Germany/France final, knocking out England and Argentina in the semis

Germany - shite
Argentina - shite
France - shite
Brazil - shite
Spain - in disarray

The draw is opening up nicely for England, we must be near favourites now?

Was just thinking the same thing. Pretty much certain now I would think. About time for a tattoo I reckon.

Neymar left training due to injury

Might be a precaution but they have Costa Rica Friday
