So we have to choose the whole tournament now, not just the group stages?

It was the same last time, Bas: https://talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=14274

In it to win it after some pondering, AB. And stickied alongside End's sweepstake.

Just to add, that only in the event of a tie , the Third-Place Play-Off winner may be used for a bonus half-point , if you selected them as a
semi-finalist.

It reads OK and can be worked out, Jimmy, but you've put Portugal down for winning KO1 and KO4, and then twice in the quarters and semis. Even with a fading Ronaldo, doubt he could manage that.

I know, I'm playing the percentages so that whether they finish first or second in their group I'm still in with a shout of some points.
It makes sense to me, anyway, or rather, it did at the time :-)

I'm sure you can have another go , Jimmy. Just get a scrap of paper and a pencil. Would take no longer than posting in D and D.

Yeah, but then I'd sort of be like those people who phone Durham with their predicted line-up for England's first game, or sit for hours in the bookies studying form.
Let's face it, whatever I do I'll end up with about two points :-)

However, to avoid appearing churlish, here goes with my revised selection:

KO1: URUGUAY V SPAIN
KO2: FRANCE V ICELAND
KO3: ARGENTINA V PERU
KO4: PORTUGAL V RUSSIA
KO5: BRAZIL V MEXICO
KO6:TUNISIA V COLOMBIA
KO7: GERMANY V COSTA RICA
KO8: POLAND V BELGIUM

QF1: SPAIN V FRANCE
QF2: BRAZIL V TUNISIA
QF3: ARGENTINA V PORTUGAL
QF4: GERMANY V POLAND

sf1: SPAIN v BRAZIL
sf2: PORTUGAL V GERMANY

final:BRAZIL V GERMANY
winner:GERMANY
