    I've run ours and pulled England so nobody can accuse me of fixing it.

    Who's everyone else got?

    I'm running one but haven't drawn them out yet. Mine has a booby prize though so still got a chance if you pull England.

    I've been running a sweepstake since 2002 for World Cups and the European Championships and I get accused of fixing it every time - I've won a prize once.

    This year I have drawn Croatia. I dont even stand a chance of winning the wooden spoon prize.

    You should do a wooden spoon prize to keep those who do draw the ***** interested and in with a chance of winning something.

    We do a top goal scoring midfielder for that 16 blokes all pick a player each we put um in a hat and pull um out most years quite a few people are still in with a chance come semis if it's a tie goes on assists then least minutes played

    I don't have much chance of winning of getting the booby prize as i've pulled out one of those mediocre sides who'll probably finish 3rd in their group.

    Japan.

    Not done ours yet, but I remember the other year (2002 I think) I ran one and pulled out - yes you've guessed it England. So I had another go and pulled out Croatia. Wife came home from work the very same afternoon and said "We've run a WC sweep at work and guess who I've got ...". Yes, you've guessed again - Croatia.

    You can't write it can ye?

    Yes, I backed them last time and that's what I thought. Fingers still tingling from that one...
