The Football Blog World Cup prediction game: are you ready to make your picks?

The World Cup kick off is now just two weeks away, as managers fine tune their squads and players from the 32 nations hope to avoid that freak training ground injury which could jeopardise their place at the tournament. As teams continue their warm up schedule, we’re starting to get a better idea of who’s in form and who still needs their play their way into it. How well do think you can predict events in South Africa?

The World Cup prediction game at our sister site, SportGuru, is now up and running and ready for your predictions. Let’s face it, you won’t be immediately excited about every game being played (Switzerland vs. Honduras anybody?) so why not make it a bit more interesting by pitting your wits against fellow fans and enter The Football Blog league? Here are the simple steps you need to follow:

1. Head over to SportGuru and, if you haven’t already done so, register to play
2. Join the World Cup tournament
3. Under ‘Pools’, click on ‘Join a pool’ and enter the following code: zetagirt.
4. You are now part of The Football Blog league and are ready to start making your predictions.

Of course, there are those who will still be undecided by the outcome of some of the opening games and will want to hold off until the last minute – once you have made your predictions, they can’t be changed – but there is always the risk of over-analysis and excessive procrastination. So if you’re feeling ready for the challenge, why not sign up today and let your predictions do the talking? Good luck!
