Today's predictions: Germany 0 Portugal 1, Iran 3 Nigeria 4 and Ghana 0 USA 1.
Amongst those stickers revealed is the England team group which is just a composite of head shots rather than a picture taken before a match, giving the impression that it's not officially sanctioned by the FA.
So the first prediction goes spectacularly wrong as Germany run out 4-0 winners against a lack lustre Portugal who were a man light after a sending off. And to top it all off the one sticker I do get, Josue, failed to make the Portuguese squad. Portugal bring on Eder as substitute and every time he gets mentioned I want to sing this.
I wish the Iran v Nigeria game had matched my prediction instead of the borefest it turned out to be. Partly responsible for the nil-nil draw are Iran's Khosro Heydari and Nigeria's John Obi Wan Kenobi Mikel and Ogenyi Onazi who play, relatively blameless are Hashem Beikzadeh of Iran and Elderson Echiejile and Azubuike Egwuikwe of Nigeria who are on the bench, totally blameless is Iranian Mojtaba Jabbari who failed to make their squad and has retired from international football.
A bizarre result of sorts from the USA v Ghana game: the one sticker I get Matt Besler, is the player replaced by the scorer of the winning goal John Brooks University. It finished 2-1 to the Stars and Stripe.
Swaps have now reached 30.
