I've built this for friends only first, but it came around as a pretty cool app, so thought people might like it.

You can set up your own league with friends, or compete in a global one.

Implemented couple fun boosters like Joker card, Anytime Scorer, and more. Also bonus points for choosing correct winner, runner-up, top scorer and more

Joachim Klement / Panmure Liberum have released their 2026 World Cup prediction report.

What makes this interesting is that Klement’s model correctly predicted the last three World Cup winners:

2014: Germany
2018: France
2022: Argentina

For 2026, the model predicts a pretty surprising outcome:

Winner: Netherlands
Runner-up: Portugal
Semi-finals: Netherlands vs Spain, England vs Portugal
Final: Netherlands vs Portugal

Some other notable predictions:

Japan beats Brazil in the Round of 32 and reaches the quarter-finals.
France beats Germany in the Round of 16.
Portugal beats Argentina in the quarter-finals.
All four semi-finalists are European teams.

The report is also very self-aware and repeatedly says not to take the model too seriously, especially because knockout football has a huge luck/randomness factor. Still, after getting the last three winners right, I think it’s an interesting prediction to discuss.

What do you think? Netherlands finally winning it, or is the model going to fail this time?

Most World Cup predictions are basically gut feeling.

I wanted something a bit more structured, so I put together a simple prediction framework for World Cup 2026.

The idea is to evaluate teams using factors like:

• Recent form
• Squad depth
• Tournament experience
• Defensive strength
• Goal-scoring ability
• Injury risk

Then use those assumptions to build:

• Group stage forecasts
• Knockout projections
• Champion predictions

I turned it into a printable worksheet because I find it easier to compare assumptions before the tournament starts.

Curious what variables people here think are most predictive in international tournaments.

July 2 2010. 45th minute added time. Ghana one goal up. 36 minutes from becoming the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final. Muntari's strike from 39.1 yards hit 105 km/h — Fernando Muslera never moved.

The goal got lost in what happened afterwards. It deserved better.

Over the last few weeks I've been building a printable World Cup 2026 prediction and pool kit.

The original goal was simple: create something cleaner than the random spreadsheets, screenshots, and notes my friends and I always end up using during major tournaments.

Based on feedback I've received so far, I simplified a few things and lowered the launch price to $4.99.

Before I spend more time adding features, I'd genuinely like to know:

- What would make a World Cup pool kit worth paying for?

- What features would you expect?

- What would stop you from using something like this?

Looking for honest feedback, even if it's critical.

Every Men's FIFA World Cup always has a team that surprisingly tops their group (maybe USA in 2010 isn't as much of a surprise)
