Excel Gold Cup 2021 Predictor
We present the new “Excel Gold Cup 2021 Sweepstake Spreadsheet”. Our next fixture of a national team tournament. This summer comes together with editions of the Copa América 2021 (in spanish) and also with Euro 2021, of which we had already taken editions in other years, but with the Gold Cup we make our debut with this spreadsheet.
There is a tradition that already exists in some places and in others it’s growing little by little, which is to organize some sweepstakes of national team tournaments (also known as predictor, pool, simulator, “quiniela”, etc). People use them in the workplace as a way to create a kind of gaming between colleagues or departments, in bars, with a group of friends, and in various communities. The purpose of this excel is varied: it serves both as a fixture to follow the Gold Cup and it also serves as a pool, predictor, simulator in excel of the Gold Cup 2021 Sweepstake.
Not all the teams that will participate in the final stage are yet known yet, as there are several teams that have to play the preliminary to qualify. In this excel file you can also fill in the preliminary phase (although in this case the predictor game does not include this preliminar stage).

The Gold Cup tournament is special this year: it begins by the end of the 2021 Eurocup and the 2021 America Cup, so for football lovers, we are happy this summer. In addition, the opening match of the 2021 Gold Cup is played on the same day of the Euro and the Copa América finals.
The competition format starts with a 4-group stage. The first 2 teams of each group qualify for the quarterfinals. The winners of the quarterfinal round advance to the semifinals and the winners of this stage compete for the title in the final match.
SandruskDesign helped us again in the spreadsheet design. From here, we want to thank you again for your advice and your valuable time.
Excel Gold Cup Simulator

Working with the excel file is very simple: in the preliminary phase you can write down the results that are given to see which teams qualify for the final group stage.
In the group stage you just have to fill in the grey boxes with the results that you think will be given. In case of a draw in the group standings between two or more teams, you can select the order of those national teams.
From quarterfinals onwards, the matches are placed automatically and the grey cells must be filled in. In case that the result entered is a draw, two other grey cells will be opened on the sides, to undo the draw and select wich team advances to the next stage. At the end you have to write who you think will be the best player, the best goalkeeper and the top scorer. In the download file there is also a file with the instructions.
The file can serve as a predictor, fixture, simulator, sweeptstake (you can try differente results to see who would be classified according to the results).
