The countdown to this summer's World Cup has just got even more exciting as BBC Sport unleashes its brand new predictor game, bringing armchair tacticians and football fanatics across the UK together in a battle of wits. Think you've got what it takes to outsmart the competition and get your predictions spot on? The challenge is now yours to take on – simply log onto the BBC Sport website or app to start playing.
It's not just about having a guess, though – participants need to make informed decisions and choose wisely for each of the 104 matches lined up. No changes can be made once a prediction is submitted, so think carefully before committing. But that's not all: a new 'streak' feature will keep you on your toes, rewarding those who maintain their consecutive win streak by logging in and making predictions every round – but be warned, missing just one match will reset the whole lot.
While bragging rights are at stake, there's also the tantalising prospect of winning one of three signed official World Cup footballs up for grabs. These treasured prizes come bearing the signatures of some of the biggest names in football, including former England internationals Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney, as well as BBC Sport presenter Kelly Cates.
Among the impressive list of signatories are also a host of other football legends: Micah Richards, Ellen White, Steph Houghton, and France's Gael Clichy. The prize draws will be held at strategic points throughout the tournament – during the group stage, last 32 and 16 rounds, and again for those who make it through to the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and grand final.
