I organized the sweepstake for the Rugby World Cup at work. An independent verifier (my mate) did the teams out of the hat, I was first up and legitimately drew New Zealand. My verifier mate went 2nd and legitimately got Australia (both finalists in the end).

Word got about and people didn't want to commit to the £5 joining fee knowing the 2 best teams were taken. So ended up with less prize money. Still won £35, people even expected to get a round in. I told them to **** off. <ok>

The whole scenario made me feel like @InBiscanWeTrust, except I wasn't actually corrupt.

You ****ed up because you're meant to get all money first then draw once you've got everyone signed up. Not draw teams as you go, or if you're left with Japan as the only team you're not gonna get anyone to buy it.

Yeah but time was running out. I did manage to convince an Iranian, an indian and a Turk to buy in. I used their lack of Rugby knowledge to gain participants. :emoticon-0116-evilg

when's this game actually on?

this **** french musci is going on a bit.

surely teams should be out for hand shakes and presentations to el presidente etc...
 
Loving that French song they've been playing on BBC, girl just singing it looked pretty good as well <whistle>
 
Got to give Portugal credit, they know how to show pride when it comes to the national anthem
 
It's only 3 or 4 Years ago that Clattenburg was getting slaughtered as a very young pro ref. He's just done the FA Cup, CL Final and now the Euros Final in the last seven weeks.

Bravo <applause>
 
Really surprised no one has taken a punt on William Carvalho, if it is £37m release clause you'd have thought one of the big clubs would have taken the chance.
