World Cup 2026 Pots Competition

Post by morganb »

Welcome to a just-for-fun World Cup 2026 competition

Rules:

1. Simply select 1 team from each of the Pots below

2. Guess the total number of goals your set of 6 teams will score (including penalty shoot-outs)


Pot 1

France
Spain
Argentina
England
Portugal
Brazil
Netherlands
Morocco

Pot 2

Uruguay
USA 
Mexico 
Senegal
Belgium
Croatia
Colombia
Germany

Pot 3

Japan
Switzerland
IR Iran
Turkey 
Austria
Ecuador
Korea Republic
Australia

Pot 4

Paraguay
Sweden
Cote D'Ivoire
Canada 
Norway
Algeria
Egypt
Panama


Pot 5

Czech Republic 
Scotland
Tunisia
DR Congo 
Qatar
Uzbekistan
Iraq
South Africa


Pot 6

New Zealand
Curacao
Haiti
Cape Verde
Ghana
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Jordan
Saudi Arabia


Your 6 teams need to make up a unique selection - no entrant can have the exact same set of 6 teams


Scoring

Your teams will score 3 points per win (including after extra time or pens), 1 point per draw (group stage only), 0 for a loss

Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament wins!

The total number of goals will be used as a tie-break. The nearest (plus or minus) wins



Entries need to be submitted by the time the tournament kicks off

The competition runs until the tournament finished

Good luck!
