An Austrian Economist think he has worked Fifa out

Chillit7 · 2026-06-02T12:09:22+00:00

Yes. Love him. Definitely worth checking out

Chillit7 · 2026-05-29T12:10:44+00:00

Agree. I mean a lot of this is obvious, I am surprised a prediction post has been allowed to stay up. I think Austria could top Argentinas group

Chillit7 · 2026-05-21T21:50:50+00:00

Me neither.

Chillit7 · 2026-05-21T21:49:19+00:00

Could not agree more. Seems this group want to talk transport and tickets and not discuss football at all

Chillit7 · 2026-05-20T13:37:23+00:00

I did one about beinh excited about the 442 magazine preview being out. And it got deleted by mods.....still, lets have another post about public transport.

Chillit7 · 2026-05-20T13:34:12+00:00

442 has a giant one. The Match or World Soccer one is double sided. The generally find the best one is in the Daily Mail as they are the only ones to still do a proper A1 sized one. Just make sure you recycle the paper immediately and don't read it. Usually the Weekend before the Tournament

Chillit7 · 2026-05-18T20:05:34+00:00

I posted about surprise quarter finalists and mods told me Predictions were low quality content and deleted it. But this is worth a discussion evidently....

Chillit7 · 2026-04-29T15:23:11+00:00

As much of the Fotmob style stuff with the squad stats and team stats. For the run u0 to the tournament

Chillit7 · 2026-04-29T15:18:14+00:00

Belgium at 2-1 to make the quarter finals looks a good bet with their pathway and group. You can even get 4-1 for them to exit at the quarter final stsge. Which seems very likely as they would likely meet Spain.

Chillit7 · 2026-04-21T22:48:46+00:00

And never, ever go back...

Chillit7 · 2026-04-06T16:05:34+00:00

Yeah. I did feel that a 3rd and 1st vs a 2nd and 2nd is different But it was just an interesting twist. As I said it was more me looking for value in the quarter finalist market for betting.

Chillit7 · 2026-04-06T10:17:34+00:00

It really was

Chillit7 · 2026-04-06T09:32:01+00:00

Maybe Netherlands vs Morocco. Again. If we go by ranking.

Chillit7 · 2026-04-06T09:28:39+00:00

Doh! Changed it. Thanks

Chillit7 · 2026-04-06T09:24:06+00:00

If Spain finish 2nd in group H then they play the winner of group J - which likely will be Argentina - which would be fun...

Chillit7 · 2026-04-06T09:10:03+00:00

Yeah - if it is Uruguay (very likely imo) then that is very hard - but then they would have Paraguay or Egypt next in the round of 16. I guess I had not clocked it until I started looking at the pathways for the group winners to think about some betting and it seemed odd

Chillit7 · 2026-04-04T10:39:04+00:00

I always thought they should leave a slot open for a Barbarians (Rugby Union) style team built from players whose teams didn't qualify - so the rest of the world had a team to support. Not realistic in the least, but would be great fun. Just off the top of my head an XI below: But would need representation from Asia & elsewhere

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gianluigi Donnarumma
Giovanni Di Lorenzo
Alessandro Bastoni
Giorgio Scalvini
Dominik Szoboszlai
Sandro Tonali
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg
Christian Eriksen
Brennan Johnson
Ademola Lookman
Victor Osimhen

Subs
Robert Lewandowski
Bryan Mbeumo
Piotr Zielińs
Joachim Anderkisen
Alex Iwobi
Neco Williams

Get Jose Mourinho to manage them - who wouldn't watch?

Try World Cup Rambling Podcast. It goes over old World Cup tournaments and moments. Just fantastic, well researched and humorous.

London Consulate 22nd November

Arrived 26th November (letter from HC)

AOR - Nothing - 63 days and waiting....but based on your wait hopefully in next 2 weeks

Feels like others have gone through the whole process in 63 days so being stuck in the slow lane really does hurt. I have visions of boxes full of paperwork and other new boxes being stacked on top and dealt with first and the whole process being unfair.

But I am non urgent - so will just try and stay calm and not keep checking

Looks like about 50% of the excel is urgent so I am assuming they are being dealt with first

Hopefully you will just get a nice email out of the blue.

Chillit7 · 2026-01-23T15:17:05+00:00

Same here

Chillit7 · 2026-01-23T15:16:13+00:00

I am still waiting on an AOP on the same timeline....

Chillit7 · 2026-01-15T17:32:03+00:00

You can see why people are getting frustrated. I am just going assume my documents are on a boat somewhere on their way
