YOU could win some football prizes in the News’ World Cup Fantasy League where we are asking YOU to predict the scores of the World Cup group stage matches between June 12 and 26.

We also want you to pick which team you think will win the competition and four players who you think will score the most goals.

Chief reporter Daniel Milligan’s predictions are printed here – but you will have your own ideas.

Daniel said: “The more you get right, the more points you will earn.”

First prize is a choice of either a replica World Cup football donated by Top Togs, of Chard, or a pair of Hi-Tec football boots, donated by Phillip Cook, the South-West manager for Hi- Tec. The other prize will go to the person with the second highest points tally.

Fill in the spaces next to Dan’s predictions in the panel, right, and return it to us at the Chard and Ilminster News offices, St James Street, Taunton, TA1 1JR, by noon on Thursday, June 12. Don't forget to add your name and contact details.

You can also email your predictions to newsdesk @chardandilminsternews.co .uk and the list of fixtures will be online at chardand ilminsternews.co.uk from today (Wednesday).

HOW IT WORKS

  • Correctly predict the overall winner to score 10pts l A correct scoreline is 5pts l If you get the scoreline wrong but correctly predict the result, ie choosing the right team to win or rightly predicting a draw, you get 2pts instead.
  • Choose four star players from four different countries.
  • Each will get 1pt for every goal they score between June 12 and 26 but will lose all of their points from a match if sent-off.

The winner of the competition will be the entrant with the most points.

If there is a points tie at the end of the competition, the winner will be decided on the number of correct scorelines they have given. If it is still a tie, it will be down to the number of correct results and after that, it will go down to goals scored by the entrants’ four star players.
