World Cup Quiz (taken from the 11Freunde Newsletter): You’ve watched two weeks of World Cup matches already… Do you know which of these countries did not take part in the 2026 FIFA World Cup? The answer will be revealed when the Group Stage Results are published Saturday evening.

Our Game

Dear players,

I trust everyone has been staying up to date on the Prediction Challenge at the web site as we’re now well into the deciding games of the Group Stage.

The Group Stage will end Saturday evening, and I will be posting the standings through the Group Stage some time between 21:00-22:00.

Round of 32 Prediction Form (due 11:00 PDT Sunday)

The Round of 32 begins at noon Sunday (Pacific Daylight Time); players will have to submit their predictions for the round by 11 AM PDT Sunday morning. This is not a very long window between the Group Stage completing and the Round of 32 beginning, so I will ask players to be prepared to submit their predictions on time. Players not submitting predictions be scored as 0 for the Round.

If you expect you will have a challenge in submitting predictions by 11:00 Sunday morning, please contact me beforehand regarding how to avoid any disappointment.

The Form is already up at FIFA World Cup Round of 32 Prediction Form to view and submit; matchups will be updated, as soon as I’m able, as the teams become known.

If you submit the Form more than once, the last one submitted will be accepted.

In the meantime, enjoy the remaining games of the Group Stage!

Michael
