All the models from Europe and Australia have been chosen through the European Models Tournament and Best Australian Model threads recently. I'd planned to do all the group matches on the same days as the actual matches in the World Cup, then carry on into the knockout stages; so - 13th June- 28th June - Group Matches (3 or 4 per day) 29th June - 3rd July - Round of 16 30/6 - 1st Group A v 2nd Group B and 1st Group C v 2nd Group D 1/7 - 1st Group B v 2nd Group A and 1st Group D v 2nd Group C 2/7 - 1st Group E v 2nd Group F and 1st Group G v 2nd Group H 3/7 - 1st Group F v 2nd Group E and 1st Group F v 2nd Group G 5th - 7th July - Quarter Finals 6/7 - Winner Match 1 v Winner Match 2 and Winner match 6 v Winner Match 5 7/7 - Winner Match 3 v Winner Match 4 and Winner Match 8 v Winner Match 7 9th July - 11th July - Semi Finals 10/7 - Winner Quarter Final 1 v Winner Quarter Final 2 11/7 - Winner Quarter Final 3 v Winner Quarter Final 4 13th July - 15th July - Finals 14/7 - Looser Semi Final 1 v Looser Semi Final 2 15/7 - Winner Semi Final 1 v Winner Semi Final 2 This way it completely mirrors the actual tournament. In the gaps between matches I could do some bonus rounds where models representing the actual football teams who make it to the finals play against each other.

Thanks!

I'm thinking of doing a model World Cup tournament to run alongside the real thing if anyone's interested? One model representing each country, same groups as the real thing, then knockout stages. I thought it might lead to a few different match ups than the usual. I'll try to use current models (ie. pictures from 2018), although obviously some countries are harder than others. I've used the European (and Australian) Models Tournament as a 'qualifier' to select some models and limit arguments (marked with *) Group A Russia – Tanya Mityushina* Saudi Arabia – Shanina Shaik Egypt – Imaan Hammam Uruguay – Carolina Sanchez Group B Portugal – Sara Sampiao* Spain – Clara Alonso* Morocco – Rania Benchegra Iran – Shermine Shahrivar Group C France- Agathe Teyssier* Australia – Sarah Stephens* Peru – Denise Schaefer Denmark – Josephine Skriver* Group D Argentina – Camila Morrone Iceland – Magdalena Leifsdottir Croatia – Meri Gulin* Nigeria – Mayowa Nicholas Group E Brazil – Lais Ribeiro (Winner of Bellazon's Top 100 Sexiest Women of 2017) Switzerland – Julie Ordon* Costa Rica – Juliana Herz Serbia – Zorana Kuzmanovic* Group F Germany – Toni Garrn* Mexico – Alejandra Guilmant Sweden – Elsa Hosk* South Korea – Ji Hye Park Group G Belguim – Rose Bertram* Panama – Katrina Troncoso Tunisia – Sonia Ben Ammar England – Niamh Adkins* Group H Poland- Sandra Kubicka* Senegal – Khoudia Diop Columbia – Daniella Lopez Osorio Japan – Tao Okamoto Any interest?
