World Cup Sweepstakes
Amongst the madness of the Expo Quiz there was a draw for a world cup (the soccer one in SA next month – you may have heard of it) sweepstakes. The following coughed up some cash and this is the teams they got assigned. They’re all in line to win some Just beer! I see some fierce rivalry coming up at the camel over this but it’s nice to see how this may help sooth some cross-tasman tensions.
STOP PRESS! MORE BEER!

I'll be in the next sweepstake. Don't give me New Zealand, Swahili will have a shiite!
Statsie - just a reminder that i fronted and bought your ticket. It'll now cost you 200 to get it back ;) oh, and i'm in for the next one if you guys are
Carn you Danes!
If any team dares to beat North Korea beware of missles, which of course i will deny even if "Pothole" is clearly written on the side...!
Enjoy your pursuit of second fellas. I've already started drinking Spain's winnings!
SLOVAKIA??? WTF!!!
We are putting together a second draw for this. We're about half way with entries so get amongst it if you missed out or have a second bite. Sinbad - not happy with having to cheer against NZ? go again! 100rmb per team - just make a comment here and give me the money when you see me.
so far for draw 2 we have the jaguar, Pusher, BS, The Korean, Golden Shears (twice), Made In, Parrot, Queen Mary, Camel Steve and yet to pay: Glit Glit, Mrs BS, Katie & Inquisition...
put me down for two ( I forgot to get in on the first one)
Mrs Pusher and Mini Pusher #1 (Ali) will take one each. Pushers be heading off to South Africa in a couple of weeks to take in some games and support any team that plays England. Another Maradona "Hand of God" type goal against them would be ideal.
Maradona has said he will run naked through the streets of Buenos Aires if Argentina win - let's hope we don't get any similar pledges here...
I'm up - waiting for a team to be assigned :)
..Also - can someone please approve my Avatar!
count me in
BS, put me in. As requested at the top of the comment page here.
BS I'm good for another... my Frogs are starting to smell.
Put me in if there is still room...will be at training Thirsday to pay up !
you're all in. i'll call in the draw live from beijing while you're all at the camel after training thursday. still a few spots left, if we don't fill them then maybe nobody will get north korea and that would be a shame.
I'll be in for another even though I've already picked the winner. I also have Grooverider's cash for his team as he mentioned above. Also have his 250 for raffle tickets. Guess I'll sort all that Thursday?
Ok fine I'm in for another... I better get a good team this time or u mite find me runnin naked thru the camel! And nobody wants that... unless!!!
I'm in for another. this time I'll get a team that has a chance of winning the cup e.g. New Zealand
Go ahead and post my pick on here, I'm not going to be in on Thursday, out of town...will be back the following week and definitely up for the game on the weekend (June 19/20)
Hey Birdshit - I do believe I coughed up a hundy the arvo you thought of the sweepstakes - you wrote it down in your gay little book... just chuck me in draw 2 ... peace love and mung beans .. The Queen Mary
Yep - just read your post - sorry I was busy turning around TQM
in for another
Five spots left, will be drawn at about 8:30pm tonight. Last minute entries - ring me - i'm in transit...
Nanjing is loose and rural...
I'm in!
Two Pushers drawn against Swahali and the English. The Algeian captain Majid plays in Scotland for Glasgow Rangers. I can sense an English humiliation. Mini Pusher has already downloaded the Algerian national athem. Looking forward to the Septics repeating their result in the 1950 World Cup. Rooney to get sent off early doors, Lampard to miss a crucial penalty and Terry to shag Cappelo's mistress at half-time in the toilets....England to collapse.
I heard the gay community has adopted the Scottish national anthem ....they were told all the men wear skirts have a bare arse and sing about a flower in scotland! Come on you Sassenachs!!
Conspiracy announcement! Italy cheated out of world cup!
What exactly are the rules and rewards for this whole sweepstakes extravaganza
if your team has made the quarter finals then you've already won a six pack. the further your team goes from there the more beer you get (up to two cases for the winners)
tonight: Mrs Cranky & Filthy vs Sinbad & Katie followed by Stats & Brokeback vs Cranky & Inquisition huh the President playing with himself again
even though my sweepstakes team is slovakia im rootin for my ORANJE!!! Go dutch!
good to see brokeback beating cranky... proof that wearing a stetson and falling in love with cowboys is much more successful than being angry
The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning. " It felt good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling and facing the impossible" said Jamal Umboto, aged 6
hahaha.... (GO DUTCH!!!)
and so on to the semis and the following fighting it out for serious beer booty: Omega & Swoop vs Mrs Cranky & Filthy Cranky & The Korean vs Filthy & Sir Dick
C'mon Uruguay . I need more beer !!!!!
Holland/Germany final means lots of beers for the Cranky's
