Only 8 people at my work wanted to do a sweepstake :roll: . We are having to do it so we get a group each, so at least all of us will have teams when it actually matters.

Oh yeah I know, but it's always fun to laugh at the person who gets the lowest ranked team :simper:

Sorry, just saw the mention of H and felt compelled to go with it.

It was like a chain reaction.

The guy who got Group A wasn't too pleased :slol: . I got E. A good chance, but don't think Brazil will win it.

I nearly said A as well to be honest.

Cant be disappointed if you’ve got Brazil to be fair.

For my office sweepstake there's 16 of us in my team, which works out nicely as we get 2 picks each.

However, in a bid to 'make it fun' we've been asked to each bring in foods to represent the countries we draw. I'm dreading this. We haven't done the draw yet - think that's happening tomorrow - but just looking through the list of teams I've no idea what to do for most of them. Maybe I'll make a cake and have the icing as the flags or something.

I got Argentina in my work sweepstake. It's been broken up so there are a bunch of sub prizes rather than a winner takes all system. So best performing bottom pot team, worst performing top pot team, quickest goal conceded by a winning team, etc. I think there are eight prizes in all.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

I just pulled out Sweden in our sweepstake.

I might have another go later. :lol:

What do we think the worst match of the tournament will be? There are some potentially awful matches in there, and I look forward to being proven wrong when they all turn out to be 3-3 thrillers. Panama vs. Tunisia is my pick.

It's weird though, I'm still looking forward to fixtures I'd never normally seek out. :lol:

Iran v Russia in the semi-finals is going to be awful.

But it will be worth it to see Putin crying when Panama win the final.
