Please read the rules closely, as this will explain the points scoring in each round and the predictions required at the various stages. I will attempt to update this on a daily basis once the group stage reaches its conclusion.
You can either post your predictions in this thread, or send me a PM to keep them secret.
Basic Rules:
*You do not need to complete all the stages at the start however you can provide predictions for any stage of the competition at any time before that deadline. (i.e. complete the group stage predictions by the group stage deadline, the quarter final predictions by the quarter final deadline and so on...)
*Once you've have made your choice these cannot be edited. Therefore please do not edit any of your posts.
