Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

Team in picking players to field their best team and not their eleven best individuals shocker.

:thup: Love the fume when countries that nobody ever watches bar in international tournaments don't pick players that under perform for them

Has anyone seen any decent wallcharts either for sale or included with magazines/papers that are out/due out? Preferably one where you fill in the group standings?

 

This is by far the best I've seen, costs a tenner but goes to charity.

Decent, might invest. Cheers. :thup:

 

Get the papers at work so swiped the free one out of yesterday's Sunday Mirror but it doesn't have space for the final group standings.

Interesting.

 

The amount of international games they play in CONCACAF is mad.

 

Gold Cup every two years, plus each team has to play a minimum of 16 games each World Cup qualification cycle (even more if you start in the earlier rounds and don't get a bye).  Plus tack the usual BS friendlies on top and the Copa America invites that get handed out.

Got Portugal in the work sweepstake. Could be worse I guess

 

Could be equally as bad, that's about it.

 

Sweepstakes are a pet hate of mine. Pay £1 and hope you one of about 4 teams, if not the whole thing is pointless.

Isn't that the whole point of a sweepstake?  :lol: It's a gamble like any other.

 

Much better when envelopes are closed until the end though.

Yep - I'm in where we're doing that - meeting for the final and opening before! Our football team also have one which we opened the envelopes on Sunday - I picked two - Saudia Arabia and Panama  :lol: £20 in the bin!

Aye, we're doing that at the cricket club. Envelope draw and everyone gets together to watch the final and open envelopes.

 

Just come in this thread because I've got world cup excitement today for some reason.

A load of snooty nonsense from both of you. It's a squad, not a starting XI and it's Leroy Sane not Leroy Rosenior.
