    World Cup Sweeps

    I was thinking of organising a forum World Cup Sweeps for anyone that is keen..
    Probably going to be too much trouble to get it sorted for money/beer/hookers or whatever form of currency people would normally use, but perhaps just as a good competitive bragging point (along the same lines of the Sheep Quiz)

    Would anyone be keen if I got it sorted and ran it? Or put it in the infuriatingly slow, yet capable, hands of WLG?
    Or alternatively, is it a waste of time and I should actually just get back to doing the work I'm supposed to be?

    Sounds good Bon, hook a brother up.
    Our club runs one where it's 16 people per pool, you get one top 16 team, one bottom 16 team (as per FIFA rankings). Keeps more people interested longer.
    Just a suggestion.

    Ahhhh great idea!!!
    Ok, if noone else objects I'll make it that.. 16 people, each gets a top 16 team and a bottom 16..
    So since you are in plague, that leaves spots for 3 more people..

    Ok, so going by this official FIFA page: http://www.fifa.com/worldranking/rankingtable/

    The teams in the World Cup Sweeps will be in these two groups according to their world ranking:

    Spain - 1
    Germany - 2
    Portugal - 3
    Brazil - 4
    Colombia - 5
    Uruguay - 6
    Argentina - 7
    Switzerland - 8
    Italy - 9
    Greece - 10
    England - 11
    Belgium - 12
    Chile - 13
    USA - 14
    Netherlands - 15
    France - 16

    AND

    Russia - 18
    Mexico - 19
    Croatia - 20
    Cote d'Ivoire - 21
    Bosnia & Herzegovina - =25
    Algeria - =25
    Ecuador - 28
    Honduras - 30
    Costa Rica - 34
    Iran - 37
    Ghana - 38
    Nigeria - 44
    Japan - 47
    Cameroon - 50
    South Korea - 55
    Australia - 59

    So each player will have one team randomly drawn from each group for them.
    (It actually quite interesting seeing where everyone is ranked.. I didn't realise that we were easily the lowest ranked there.. hahaha)
