Hi all, so now that the World Cup 2026 tournament has concluded we can publish the final standings of our Predictor Competition!

 As a reminder, we had 185 entrants in total, meaning we have £925 in the Prize fund to be distributed amongst the top 3 places.

There were still 150 pts left to play for going into the final on Sunday night.
 
 * Tournament Winner (50pts), 56 people correctly predicted Spain to win.

* Golden Boot Winner (50pts), Messi (8 goals, 4 assists) was leading the way going into the final weekend with just 2 people having selected him for the Golden Boot. However, in the end, Kylian Mbappe won the accolade with 10 goals and 4 assists as a result of scoring two goals in the bronze medal playoff game. 49 entrants had picked Mbappe, the bookies favourite, for the golden boot.

* Total Tournament Goals (50pts), 308 goals were scored at World Cup 2026, at an average of 2.96 per match. Just one person (congratulations Gemma Masterson!) correctly predicted 308 goals and secured the 50 pts.

 
Now we have finalised the scores, the winners are as follows;
 
In joint first place with 310 pts are Sinead Silcock  & Claire Shaughnessy  who will share the 1st and 2nd place winnings equally and receive £375 each. In third place with 300 pts is Patrick O'Donoghue who will receive £175.
