Many questions will be raised in this thread, like:

+ Will this be the first time an African nation reaches the last 4 - or even win the tournament?

+ Will this be first time the English win the cup, so they can stop banging on about '66? Or will it be another 'x' years of hurt? (Try not qualifying for a major tournanment for 50 odd years, that's hurt)

+ Will this be the defining moment for Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney on the world stage?

AND most importantly...

Which games will Callum be seeing with his World Cup tickets already bought? Go on.. get North Korea and Slovenia....

WC2010 Draw - DISCUSS!

Would anyone fancy having a bet on the World Cup, teams would be drawn at random out of a hat

For Instance:

16 players - £2 each would give you two picks out of the hat for two teams and whoevers team wins gets 100% of winnings which would be £32 or maybe £20 for winner and £12 for runner up?

Just a thought

Yeah I'm doing a similar thing with work. So if one of you wants to do it with us lot, that'd be great. I say £2 a team. £35 for winner, £15 for runner up, £10 for third and £4 for fourth?

Well, maybe not exactly those prizes, but similar!

P.S. I don't think Brazil's group is the only group of death, check out Group D, and possibly Group E as well!

Amazing.. my football talk raises no interest, then it turns into betting convo and it's all happening! Gotta speak in odds next time...

EDIT

Needless to say I'd be interested, but knowing my luck on world cup sweepstakes I'd get North Korea.

£2 seems ok I'd be in.

Not for me, i don't want to end up with a team that i don't want to win.

I''m not even slightly interested in this.

Regards

Chris
