World Cup Sweepstake

First topic message reminder :

Thought I could organize a World Cup sweepstake for everyone on here for everyone to get behind a nation and for rivalries to emerge between people as matches take place in a month's time. Basically I need 32 people to put their name down, everyone will then be randomly drawn a nation in the World Cup and let battle commence, no prizes except pride etc. So stick your name down if you want in!

Woot come on the girl-stealers! (don't think that's Nigeria's official nickname).

Fantastic.

Come on Dzeko

Can Duty bring himself to cheer on the Spanish?

Messi abuse

I got my long time second team

Russia, not bad - could make the quarters, but iv'e got those frigging long names ahhhhhhhhhh

I love Putin. Sorry Ukraine   Glad they never made it now  

Honduras - eek. some bookies have them at 4000/1

Yes..are swapsies allowed?

Although I probably venture that Freek's gently going to gloat that he's got the most treasured of treasured lands.

Bloody Spanish.

I'm Ghana enjoy this.

Thanks Hero and Nando.

Honduras! Jesus wept. Thanks for nothing guys  

Iran.

In the bag baby.

Chile v Iran final...calling it now!

Chile v Iran final?! Very optimistic I think...given Algeria are in it   

Shame were not in Group D or E we would definitely have nabbed 2nd place ahead of England or France!!

Looks like we will just have to settle for beating the Russians instead!

belgium!

Cameroon eh? Might have to changey forecast of them being hopeless this time round!

Ah well. Can't win em all.

I can see a solid showing from Ecuador.

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!

Not bad at all.

Peut-on converser en Français pendant que la Côté D'ivoire reste au Brazil pour La Coupe du Monde?

Allez les Côtoises (?) !

Hmm South Korea, doubt they'll get out of the group oh well can only hope....

Portugal. Hope Ronaldo plays a blinder!

Columbia - Hope they drag Valderrama and Tino Asprilla out of retirement!

Hope no one scores an own goal   

I expected more bang for my buck   

In a group with Spain and Holland and my sweepstake team are still alive and kicking!

What are the chances?   

We'll get em next time Dutser...

An Olly-Samo Final would be great but I still have hopes for Marky to be there at the business end of things.

Then again, it may well be that monty junior springs a surprise if he can get by MtotheC in the semi.

Deep down though I'm hoping xviperx can make fools of us all.

Ecuador with a solid 4 points. They were less than a minute away from a draw against the Swiss which would've seen them through.
