2018 World Cup Sweeps

[StannyCFCJET]

Good old World Cup sweeps, where a good 26/32 people wondered why they bothered immediately after the draw lol

Too late now as it sounds like sour grapes, but I’d love to see it done in stages. The 16 people who make it out of the group all get drawn again for the remaining 16 teams, and a redraw happens after every knockout round. That way I could actually root for Peru to get out of the group and still have a chance of winning the thing. As it stands, I’ve got Buckley’s lol

You wouldnt say this if you had a big team

As Australians, we never really care about winning the thing anyway. It's just never going to happen.

So really you're getting the actual world cup experience as it should be, rather than the farce that the guy who drew the inevitable winner would have experienced.

Really the entire point of the world cup is just waiting for England to be knocked out to watch the media implode/explode/sideplode as usual over there and be thankful that we are truly useless rather than only useless when it hits crunch time.

Yeah nah, sweep is fine how it is.

Probably not. But it’s also like Sydney saying there shouldn’t be a final series lol they’re possibly right but the finals made things far more interesting.

I don’t really care, I was just throwing it up for discussion.

This is one of my favourite things about international tournaments.

It gives 31/32 of us even more interest to watch a different team

Much more fun getting a team that is poo.

You immerse yourself as a short term fanboi in a new culture.

Will enjoy wearing a towel on my head for the "Petro Derby" on opening night.

Happy with Uruguay and expect them to go well provided their stars can stay disciplined throughout the campaign. But with loose cannon Suarez it could turn to poo very quickly.

First game tonight..
butcher in some of Brem's high-waisted jeans, vs Jetmaster and his towel...

I am so damn excited to watch Suarez & Cavani face that KSA team.

Touche my friend...seriously hope Saudi style retribution is pending for these imposters.

[Frodo]

I can handle the Aussies losing. But not my Super Eagles. Stupid Modric and his stupid greatness.
