Hey everyone! The biggest tournament of the world is here and this is what I have been working on these couple of days. Please have a look, even if you are not a football fanatic. I would love to hear some feedback on the site in general.

Play your way through the tournament
Make predictions for every match from the group stages to the final

Free.

Black text on a dark background is not terribly legible.

Registration is a chore. Demanding a username and my e-mail address and a new password twice is perhaps too much friction. Demanding I click a link in an e-mail that still hasn't arrived yet before I can do anything interesting on the site is a bit of a stumbling block.

Since I'm not a "football fanatic" i really need more info regarding how the whole system works before i click register.

Also a nice big call to action would be nice to have.

I'd put a call to action right below this text to potentially get more sign ups. To be honest though I would like to see what it is before signing up. I can't really tell what I can do on the site from the landing page.
