In the absence of Steve who is having a break from the predictor league( great job by the way)

This is the the thread for the World Cup predictor league, slight tweak to the format in the first round of games. Second round and through to the final will follow Steve’s template.

So here goes, 8 groups A-H. Pick the winner and runner up of each group. 5 points for the Group Winner, 3 points for the runner up in each group. Select and record them in the correct order, 1 point will be given to teams selected but not in the correct position ( so a 1 point for say England if they come second in the group when you had them down as first)

Good luck everyone.
