PSA: I am @commish but I am NOT Goodell.
I am the commish of a fantasy league and I'm building a free pickem app called https://t.co/ijmeD23BA6 that launches with the 2026 World Cup.
tag me on the wrong things, I'll collect them.
the most stressful 90 minutes of any tournament is not the final, it is the last group stage match when your country is alive but only if three other results all break right
how this works:
1. score every group match (1 point per right result, 3 for exact score)
2. fill the bracket (bigger points for deeper rounds)
3. watch your friends realize they should have just trusted Brazil
8 days until leagues open.
the move where someone in your league picks the underdog in every match because "I'm just having fun" and then somehow finishes top 3 is a personality disorder
unpopular world cup take: the group stage is more fun than the knockouts.
knockouts have stakes. groups have chaos.
tell me which country gets knocked out by goal differential on matchday 3 and you are basically nostradamus.
every league has The Guy who texts at 11:58pm asking "are picks locked at midnight or kickoff" when the first match is in the morning.
you know who you are.
