Ash, are you running a draft like for Euro 2016?

Not at this point. I have a big personal project on at the moment so been too busy for that sorry.

Welcome to take idea and run with it if you like.

Hey guys I have a good idea of what questions but I'd like to know how to collect money. I'm happy for people to send me twenty quid on PayPal but would some people prefer other payment options?

I'm in.

£20 fine for me. Paypal is also fine for me.

PayPal is perfect

I'm in for random WC gambling.

Read this in today's NY Post...for those of you who think the draws in major football tournaments are fixed...have a field day!

https://nypost.com/2018/05/18/former...raw-was-fixed/

Belgium must have a good squad if Nainggolan can't get in it.

or the more likely explanation that roberto martinez is a cretin

So Radja can't even get in a 28 man squad let alone the final 23. Places for Chadli and Januzaj though.

actively rooting against teams that publish their squads in alphabetical order instead of playing position

the draw was fixed by putting the hosts (france) and the holders (brazil) in group a and d or whatever before the draw so if both won their groups they couldnt meet until the final

they were open about it. it wasn't drawing hot and cold balls or something

Yeah they’re going to be quite good. Cesc morata Alonso and bellerin all left out.

At this stage I don't know why Spain are 7.6 to win when Germany and Brazil are 5.x.

Just like France, Spain's omissions better than our first squad

Naming your squad with Panini stickers is the goat method

French XI who play for countries other than France. Who is missing?

Aubameyang Higuain

Mahrez Bentaleb Khazri Feghouli

Ghoulam Benatia Koulibaly Nyom

Bounou

Raphaël Guerreiro and Adrien Silva in Portugal

Yacine Brahimi

Pretty sure I will be betting Spain. That team is unreal. Even if some of their GOATs have aged I’m still gonna be glued to every one of their matches.

God that squad is dreadful.

Forwards are class though, Messi going to have to be immense throughout.

yeah its not looking good. apparently mascherano is completely done so hopefully he doesnt start.

------- keeper
mercado - fazio - otamendi - tagliafico/rojo
banega - lo celso/meza
