I understand the effort you put into creating this thread, well not so much but at least well done for that. But we actually have the Word Club discussion thread going on already. It's been active since 2022 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5431360.7640. Might be better if discussions is to be continued over there rather than having multiple thread for the same conversation.

Thanks for pointing that out! I totally understand your concern and I appreciate you sharing the link to the ongoing world cup thread.

I actually created this thread with the intention to focus more specifically on  predictions, group stage analysis, betting-related insights, and to keep updates more organized and easy to track — especially for users interested in qualifiers to finals progression / real-time match stats / betting discussions.

 I’m open to adjusting things or contributing to the main thread if the community prefers to keep everything in one place.

Just wanted to try offering something a bit more focused.
