FIFA World Cup 2018 - GROUP G [Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England - 18/23/24/28 June] **spoilers**

[Jimbeam3678]

Kane could walk into virtually any team in the world, he's world class in my eyes. There's only Lewandowski who runs him close for the best 9 in the world imo.

We beat Tunisia and Panama unconvincingly then draw with Belgium (hopefully).

This 100%, last player to really step was Rooney wasn't it when he broke his foot?

0-0 first game, 1-1 second then need to beat Belgium to qualify. And get humped 4-1.

 

[fez]

We will qualify in second place. If Belgium turn up even a little we will get a pasting. Luckily they are the Man Utd of international teams. Brilliant squad on paper but play to about 60% of their potential.

I’m just glad I don’t have to watch shrek anymore, never turned up for the big games.

3 sweepstakes running at work.. I've got Belgium in the big one, England and Tunisia in smaller ones. What are the bloody chances of drawing 3 teams from the same group

 

[McBain]

Those odds would be pretty long I would think, at least you'll have minimum one team through to the knock out stages

 

[el_dazza]

Quite incredibly, my girlfriend's drawn Panama in her work sweepstake..

 

[Martynt74]

That's insane!

No sweepstake here but my mates organised a competition where you have to guess the following and whoever has most points wins

8 Qtr Finalists
4 Semi Finalists
Finalists
Winner

3 x Golden Boot

Golden Ball

Golden Glove

Total number of goals

 

[el_dazza]

Total number of goals

Could be in the 140-160 range I'd say.

I ran one of our work sweeps, plenty of booby prizes in there: team with the worst GD and a prize for the team that knockd England out

 

[Martynt74]

I went for 187 before i thought about how that'd beat the record by 16! Ended up with 162 i think.

The England group fixtures are awful for pubs/drinkers aren't they, Monday, Sunday and Thursday usually wouldn't bother me as I work from home the majority of the time but it just so happens I've got long drives the day after each game

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

We’ve drawn our team in the work sweepstakes but haven’t opened said envelopes yet.

I quite like a Thursday pint or five

 

[Dan103]

going to be optimistic and say WWL.

Not sure if we will get past the last 16 though.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

I got Russia in my sweepstake but thankfully I put some spot prizes in the big pot.

Total Prize Pot = £320


Winner = £100

Runner Up = £50

3rd Place Winner = £30

First team to have a player sent off (2 yellows or a straight red) = £20

Team with the highest number of goals conceded in the tournament = £20

First team to score a penalty (open play not penalty shootout) = £20

Highest number of goals scored = £20

Team who has the player with the golden boot = £15

Team with highest number of yellow cards = £15 (if equal teams it will be based on most number of fouls committed)

Team with lowest number of yellow cards = £15 (if equal teams it will be based on least number of fouls committed)

First team to concede an own goal = £15 (if there is no own goal scored in the tournament the money will go to Marie Curie charity)

[glenimp617]

If we can't beat Tunisia and Panama we really are rubbish

 

[Maundie]

I agree but history has shown that the England team are highly adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!!

Yep, we will go 1 up, then a minute later let a goal in..........it's always the same
