Rounds 1-4

R1: England may have only won 6 of their opening World Cup games across 15 tournaments, but Iran provides a superb opportunity for a winning start!

R2: Denmark only conceded 3 goals in 10 qualifying games and take on Tunisia. The African outfit have never made it past the Group Stage…

R3: Belgium could be the play...they face Canada, who are at the World Cup for the first time since 1986.

R4: Portugal ace Cristinao Ronaldo is aiming to become the first man to score in 5 different World Cups...watch out Ghana!

Rounds 5-8

R5: Senegal reached the QF in 2002 and this squad is packed full of talent, but mainly we have picked them here because they’re playing Qatar 😂

R6: Poland have previous in the WC, finishing 3rd in ‘74 + ‘82 but haven’t progressed past the group stage in the last 3 attempts...surely Robert Lewandowski bags vs Saudi Arabia!

R7: Croatia broke English hearts in 2018...Ivan Perisic scored that evening and if he nets against Canada in Round 7, he will be the nation’s joint-highest WC scorer.

R8: Brazil have the most WC titles, wins, participations and are 1 of 2 countries to defend their crown - Switzerland mightn’t be able to handle Neymar & Co…

Rounds 9-12

R9: Netherlands have forever been the WC bridesmaid, finishing runners-up 3 times, but a win over Qatar should ensure they don’t meet England in the last-16.

R10: France boss Didier Deschamps has only lost 16% of matches since taking over in 2012...we don’t see Tunisia troubling that statistic!

R11: Germany take on Costa Rica, who’ve lost 8 of 18 games at the World Cup and have a goal difference of -9…

R12: Uruguay play Ghana in a rematch of THAT infamous Luis Suarez handball...the South American’s have made it out of their group in 5 of their last 6 appearances.

You’ve made it to the Knockouts (hopefully)...we didn’t even use Argentina or Spain but you can…you’re in control!
