Before I go into designing the game, I want to gauge interest. So, if you're interested in a World cup Pick 'Em game, let me know!

Pick 'Em would predict the group winners as well as the winners of the knock-out rounds.

I like the women's game. Not yet ruined by money and far cleaner than the men's. Sweden are the European champions and are in with a chance for the World Cup, so yes I'm interested.
 
The Irish women have just qualified for their first ever World Cup, beating Scotland in a play-off. I’m in.
 
It is a big win for wahini (women) especially in new zealand which is hosting the cup along with australia.
But why design a game to see who will win when by past records the odds favour just one country.

Yes, it's football/soccer. I can see the reason for the confusion though. The World Cup of Rugby is played in 2023, too.

i'd be in
 
I'll play
 
Any interest in predicting the qualification playoffs (in February) as part of this game (World Cup is in October)?
 
Yo my fellow Sports Enthusiasts, please help @PoliSciPulse launch this Women’s Soccer game! He takes great joy in handling the bulk of the work.

I don’t follow Women’s Soccer enough to make predictions with any competence or confidence. My efforts to rely on luck in the past led to predictable results… hahaha

PoliSciPulse put together a 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Even with only two of us playing, I enjoyed it immensely!

@noonereal @mrjurrs @Decypher -

Hopefully sooner than later, @PoliSciPulse starts a related thread in the ‘Sports Talk’ section to drive interested members to the game.
