There used to be another football thread, this one turned into the default one in Brazil 2014

Maybe another one can start with Russia 2018?

Of course another thread can be started. The all-important question is who will take on the responsibility.

It won't be me, that's for sure. But anyone who is up to the task, should explicitly say so in this thread. If there are multiple people who are willing to do make a new thread, they should lay out what plans they have for the World Cup and beyond, and then we vote on the best combination of idea and reliability of the forum member (we shouldn't pick someone who appears to be prone to abandon the thread on a whim).

I suppose it would be good to say what our expectations are. Personally, I want some kind of prediction league for the World Cup, but I don't have any notable wishes beyond that. If there's not much more than the occasional poll every now and then, then that's fine by me.

Others might want to see a prediction league for the next Champions League season or even the English Premier League. As far as other leagues are concerned, I have not noticed high enough interest in them, so the overall expectations toward the person who sets up a new thread are unlikely to be anything huge. The one thing that is agreed on is that it should be a step up from what we currently have which is essentially nothing.

Agree, hope someone has is willing to do it (I won't either )

Still, I remember the older one had lots of posting at the beginning and when this one was created the other one had been dead for a while(Like same 3 users posting and no one responding, couldn't find it though). World cup hype could give a boost for a new one like it did before, I hope this time it's like what you describe
