World Cup sweepstake thread

LOL. Just saw Suarez getting confused about the difference between a defender and a kebab. What a bellend.
 
He's an enigma, completely nuts. The great Columbian's are about to hand Japan's asses to them, already qualified, but about to finish it off in style
 
OK the group stage is over, and now there are 16 left

28th= (last place) these 5 knocked out after 2 games: CAM (total 0 points), AUS (0), ENG (1), SPA (3), BOS (3)
17th= (group stage), these 11 knocked out after 3 games: HON (0), GHA (1), JAP (1), IRA (1), KOR (1), RUS (2), CRO (3), ITA (3), IVO (3), ECU (4), POR (4)

everyone up there ^^^ we're all losers, though i feel sorry for the ones that got 4 points, as several of the qualifiers only got 4 themselves. ah well, that's sport. feel free to post up what you're offering as a prize, losers.

shown above are the odds at the start and middle of the group stages then finally the latest odds (all for winning the tournament, nothing to do with the next match)

i know England are out but still it's the best World Cup i can remember watching so far, and NL are still my tip for the crown. any further thoughts from anyone?

if anyone wants to run a separate book, or introduce any new fun rules, please go ahead. a worldcup-virtual-pingolf perhaps? There will be goals, penalties, red and yellow cards, hopefully also some more controversies, so cmon fellas what have you?

I think my Belgium actually stand half a chance!

Good World Cup so far. Englands performance being a low point. But Spain, Italy, Portugal and England all out in the first round is just bonkers!


Come on Belgium!!!
 
Well, I'm not surprised I'm out. I know next to f*** all about football and I didn't even know South Korea fielded a team good enough to make it to the World Cup. England though... what a pile of s***. Even Korea made it one stage further. The shame of it. And to complete the embarrassment even the USA have made it to the 2nd Stage. And I always thought they were supposed to be truly awful at "soccer".

As a reminder I'll be donating 4 brand new unused Super-Bands: 2 x black, 1 x mini yellow and 1 x mini orange (I fitted a black pair to VECTOR).

Alright you coffee making drug lords, can't wait to sink our teeth into you Colombians haha!
If you can't beat em, eat em....etc etc, OK I'll get my coat.

To celebrate my team making the final 16 and to help my lack of football knowledge I've treated myself to a WCS :clap:.
 
I'm absolutely loving my Colombian side, what about James Rodriguez! Seriously think we could do Brasil and even maybe be an outside shout at the whole thing!
 
Hmmmmm. I agree that extra time was fantastic, but c'mon fellas, I'm listening to Lineker, Shearer, Ferdinand and the other one all waxing lyrical about it too, but I remember watching 90 minutes of crap followed by a good 30.

Anyway, 8 teams left

You're wrong :cool: It was an epic tussle from start to finish.
