Great idea, never did this, will definitely submit an entry soon- Can i just check that the groups are correct- in particular Scotland group- u have haiti as 3rd ranked team? They are in 80s in fifa rankings, we are 40’s, just want to make sure 4 is definitely scotland in that group?

Hi chunky jag. You are correct. I took my starting group orders from wikipedia (which has a great page with lots of useful info). There are a few groups that are not in ranking order. Those with host nations, for example. I erroneously said they were in ranking order when I was in a hurry to get this thing started.

Anyone wishing more detail on rankings etc. can check out wikipedia here.

Regardless of that, you just need to have a guess at what the finishing position will be. Good luck. Look forward to welcoming you to the competition.

So far, (some of) you have used your skill to determine who will finish where in the group stage. Now it's time to introduce to the room Madame Chance.

Four bonus questions. Each worth 2 points. If you get all 4 right, I'll round it up to 10 big, fat points.

The bonus points will be added to your score after the World Cup Final and could be decisive.

Please answer A B C or D.

1. 79 matches will be played in USA, 12 in Canada & 13 in Mexico. Games played in which country will have the highest goals per game average? 
        A Canada
        B Mexico
        C USA

2. Which host nation will go the furthest in the tournament?
        A Canada
        B Mexico
        C USA

3. Will the winner of the Golden Boot score any of their goals in Canada or Mexico?
        A Yes
        B No

4. 16 countries will be eliminated at the Group stage. Which region will lose the most? 
        A Africa
        B Americas + Caribbean
        C Asia + Oceania
        D Europe
