I realise that there is little interest in football on the forum but am just polling for interest in a sweep for the World Cup
As is normal there is no requirement to enjoy or even watch the matches but weve always had a bit of fun with it before, hence this e mail
If there are only a few interested parties we can wait until the later stages of the competition to hand out teams, there is no need to comment if you you dont want to join in and nobody will be thought of any the less for it
Anyway just let me know if its of interest, but I imagine it will be pointless with less than 8 participants
Readers waiting for the early football reviews will have to wait till later - I was about to do them but Yorko was so excited about the World Cup (as we all are) that she posted this thread up on a Saturday afternoon, and if I do the results this thread will be hidden.
The good news is Maddison's injury was not serious and he will be OK for Qatar.
Frazz, any right minded person would feel the same about Qatar, what with the LGBTQ+ issues and human rights in general, and not forgetting the weather there is unbearable. But this is not about Qatar, we are stuck with them as hosts whatever their archaic morals so should concentrate on the issue in hand which is football. Many England fans (and Harry Kane) will be wearing rainbow armbands and in some cases shirts, as a protest against Qatar's laws which should be enough for the point to be made without being martyrs.
