World Cup Sweepstake

[fred.]

Phew, thought I was out of the sweepstake their.

My work 'team' Mexico went out earlier this afternoon, so I could have been out twice in one afternoon!

[d_Guy]

And Japan out - who led 2 nil for over fifty min.  Bye bye Pendraken swag 

[lowlylowlycook]

Well, that was the last way to go out that I expect for my Colombia!

England actually win a penalty shootout 

That must be a late addition to the script 

[Last Hussar]

To be fair, for the 93 minutes before the Columbian goal England were on top.

France well on it's way to start earning me some credit

We have at least a fiver coming now! Let's go for the full 20 quid!

I'm happy with 5 already. Never won anything before!(although i won't say no to twenty )

It's going to be difficult to work out what to spend it on though. Now if they made it a nice round 200 quid instead...

I think Belgium will go down against Brazil though.we had some bad first halves already.

If they go through however, they will face France. Don't know who i will root for then!

[Genom]

I'm still surprised to find i'm still in with a chance on this. Though being Scottish, its weighing up whether goodies or never hearing the end of it is the better option.

Oof. That is a nasty one. Better to have them throw a wobbler and lose rather than deny France their rightful win, I'd say. After all, the French are part of the Auld Alliance with the Scots.
