1. What is this?
    Now in it's 7th season, the football prediction game is a game where we predict the results of competitive domestic and international football fixtures. Every week we post a few fixtures (suggestions always welcome in our general football/soccer thread) and then anyone can predict the results before the first match starts. After the weekend (usually) your scores will be published.
