So, who did you get in your World Cup sweepstake?

I missed the NSC one so I did a work sweepstake , I feel pretty confident as eventually I got all 32 teams !

 

[Scunner]

Australia - bugger...

 

[darters74]

I've run one since 2002 every 2 years for World Cup and Euros. For World Cup, 32 people pay £5 a month plus £15 entry, so pay £135 in total. There is £4320 in the pot. 1st round losers get £50 back, winner gets a grand.

Ok, they're not going to win the cup but they can be such a good team to watch.

Thanks to the genius of their former manager (Marcelo Bielsa) they transformed from no-ones into arguably the third best South American team, playing a high pressure game focused on quick attacking...if it wasn't for actually being English I'd probably be supporting them.

I absolutely adore Chile - their football is just a joy to watch.

On the assumption you're being serious, you're my new best friend.

When their style clicks properly during a match (which is admittedly sporadic) they're just so smooth it's unreal.

I work for a small company so we draw 2 or 3 each - I managed to get Iran, England & Colombia.

 

[Seagull97]

Almost £100 coming my way if Brazil win

 

[surrey jim]

England.

Now to be doubly disappointed when we are knocked out.

And after the whole 'missing ball' controversy forced a re-draw from my original pick of Ecuador, I got Columbia.....

Completely serious! They were amazing in 2010 and I want more of the same this year...
