Make your match predictions and challenge our experts (and a dog)

Can you out-predict our expert writers, our data algorithm… or a dog? Well, now is your chance to have a go by picking the winners of every World Cup game this summer.

By playing our soccer pick’em game you can make your daily picks and compete to build the longest Streak across 104 games.

How does it work?

Build your best Streak by picking as many correct tournament matches in a row as you can.

Your Streak will end when you get one wrong. You can then start again and build a new Streak.

What else?

In our pick’em hub you will be able to see how your stats rank against The Athletic’s resident soccer experts, journalists Elias Burke and Andy Jones. They’ll be predicting every single game, and explaining their logic in a daily article.

You’re also competing against our special guests: Wilf (a soccer-mad six-year-old), Stanley the dog, “The Algo” prediction machine, and a rotating team of fellow subscribers. Check the leaderboard anytime to see the longest streak in the game.
