World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread

Post by Count Steer »

This one is for the fun of it...although I will think about some sort of prize(s) from the trophy cupboard. :D

Reply to subsequent posts with your name alongside your chosen number*. Any spare numbers will be available to the group losers - until the numbers run out.

The list follows in the next post.

*I've randomised them, made a list and taken a dated pic in case there's a stewards enquiry. :lol:

No. 25 as it's me 25th wedding anniversary on Sunday. :thumbup:

Fucking Switzerland? More chance if I go over to Qatar, chop my dominant leg off and play their games for them... :lol:

Ah...but...if they get knocked out in the group stage and all the numbers haven't gone by kick-off on Sunday, you may well have played a tactical blinder. :thumbup:

Just to prove it's not. Since 636Mick has gone walkabout, YOU can pick a random number (from what's left) for me. Can't very well pick my own. :lol:

Ace - I got Japan.

I don't know much about football but the Japanese are great at industry, sushi, motorbikes etc. so they're probably great at football too!
