The Actual World Cup 2022 Thread
Limited to four Budweiser units per person. 
Thatās at least four too many.
Shame you canāt kitchen sink it up in Doha as thatās a steady enough line up.

Someone from our JC fam should fill their suitcase with a mountain of gear and head over to punt it at that rave, theyād make a killing and the profits could pay the bar bill at the JC xmas do.
Is there anyone whoās bank balance has already been boosted by contributions from many of the JC fam, someone close enough to the UKās largest airports, allowing them to get on a last min cheap flight, someone who lives in a capital city with obvious access to purveyors of the finest chemicals?
Any suggestions, anyone?
Lolās for Si and Amps!

Franceās problems are internal. Pogba (who isnāt going) tried to have someone cast a spell on Mbappe 
Everyone apparently hates Benzema. Rabiot is supposedly a massive bellend.
They have by some distance the best squad but this is France, who are known to implode. They went into 2002 with the strongest squad too, having won the previous World Cup and Euros, and got dumped out in the group stage without even a win, as I recall.

Our work sweepstake is really decent. The equivalent of a tenner in, each, but the prizes are for overall winner, the team who ends 17th (i.e. doesnāt get out of the group but is the best 3rd place team) and the wooden spoon. Therefore, not shit if you draw a crap team. Iāve got Japan so could grab that 17th spot prize. Keeps it very interesting.
Winner gets 160 quid, the other two prizes are 80 quid.
Just drawn Argentina in our sweep, could be worse
