    2018 FIFA World Cup Draw Prediction

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup

    Our main activity is to predict all 8 World Cup Group Stage Groups.

    Deadline: 30th November 2017

    Observe all 4 Pots and try to predict more teams than other competitors.

    Example 1 (it's not my official prediction)

    [​IMG]
    Group B
    1. Germany
    2. Spain
    3. Denmark
    4. Serbia

    Prediction possibilities:
    - you can predict all 8 groups
    - you can predict in which group will your team play (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)

    Every exactly predicted group brings 4 points.
    Every exactly predicted group (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) brings additional 1 point.

    It's possible to collect maximum of 40 points.

    If top three users have the same number of points, date of your prediction input will be the relevant factor.

    Very short competition, it lasts only 13 days.

    Good luck!

    They beat New Zealand in the confed cup. Same result to Portugal as France had in the final of euro'16. And just 2-1 to Mexico. Crazier things have happened. 2002 Korea, 2004 Greece, Denmark 1992, Portugal 2016.

    Shaun White losing to Ipod in the Olympics half pipe that was slushy. Home field advantage.

    If they play a Fast team... they gonna tear that field up beforehand

    That's some wacky analysis comparing Russia results vs Portugal against Portugal vs France in Euro and coming up to a conclusion. And Korea 2002 was just pure robbery vs Italy and Spain. I guess that's an angle.

    It's a bold prediction.

    Don´t know if it has been communicated yet,but the draw will definetly be pot 1-2-3-4 next Friday in that numerical order.
    This means for us(Sweden)different probabilities.
    Going on the highest ones it will be from pot 1 Brazil or Argentina.
    From pot 2 our highest probability is Mexico.
    From pot 4 it´s Nigeria or Morocco.

    Do you have a link to a trustworthy source? I'd expect FIFA to release the final draw procedure early next week. They could reverse the order, like in the EC final draw with only the top seeds being drawn first (pot 1-4-3-2), or stick to the same order as in WC2014.
