Once the team draw is completed it'll be posted the same way and we'll know who we've got.

Ghana would be the obvious choice for me if I could pick but I'll settle for Iran or Bosnia as very distant second and third selections lol

Good luck us

[mugsy]

bit of a farce of a draw this eh mdoug or who ever could match a team to who they want now they see the order.

you could have just used something like this http://www.noporkpies.com/worldcup/

but carry on doesnt matter to me.

Yeah was honestly thinking that myself. I honestly replied asap to RG which he can confirm and just logged back in now to see he wants me to post on here instead of via pm. I honestly hadn't looked at the Dice's list above as I just went to the pm and ordered them randomly myself(not even excel) but work away with whatever ye want. I just wanted to help ye move things along If there is any consolation I hate all the people on the list equally so have no bias whatsoever

Belgium
Nigeria
Bosnia & H
Ghana
England
Chile
South Korea
Cameroon
Argentina
Algeria
Mexico
USA
Holland
Columbia
Japan
Uruguay
Greece
Germany
France
Ecuador
Spain
Honduras
Ivory Coast
Switzerland
Costa Rica
Iran
Croatia
Portugal
Brazil
Italy

Attached the pic here to prove the timestamp I did the draw

[Flushdraw]

Yeah nobody should see either list, that's why i suggested this...

Randomise the names of the people involved and send them on to an independent observer (ArmaniJeans or so) and then ask someone in the BBV to randomise the 32 teams and just match them up to give the draw.

If you randomised the names and sent them to AJ or someone not in the draw just to hold, then ask someone in the BBV to randomise the teams, then either you or AJ post the PM and that's your draw done. Simple, and takes 2 minutes.

I'm sure there's no issues though the way it's done.

[Jibzzzz]

So whats going on then? Flushdraw and AJ gonna do their usual and sort this out or?

Well the draw was done legit before i posted that, so you can't change it now imo. Would have been better done blindly, but mdoug's PM seems above board. Plus, i got a good team for a change!

Guess I have Mexico then!

SPOILER

[Megatron]

There are only 30 Teams in MDougs list though? What am I missing?

[dobby]

As far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with the draw. The draw stands and those are the picks, best of luck to all.

Except for what Megatron correctly pointed out.

So does it stand or not then? Not having a go at you, just want to know is that final so I can get my Croatia jersey

[Flushdraw]

Cant stand if there's only 32 players and 30 teams now! Needs to be done again.

Do we have 32 players or not?

[RG67]

It unfortunately does not stand as Russia and Australia were left out of the draw.

Can somebody please get a Random List of the 32 teams done.

Thanks mdoug for doing it anyway.

Ray, you need to make sure it's all sorted before we go again.

No point randomising the teams we don't know what's it's for?

[Flushdraw]

Ray, you send a list of the 32 players in a random order to Megatron.
Post here when done.
I'll post the 32 countries randomised.
Match them up.

[mdoug]

My bad! copied and pasted what was on my notepad page but never scrolled down for Australia
Russia

On the plus side ye can do it legit via bbv and nobody can be suspicious

[PEACEBROTHER]

So I still have a chance of getting Iran

Get in !!!!

[Flushdraw]

Do you want to do this Ray?

Ray, you send a list of the 32 players in a random order to Megatron.

You just send the players to anyone by PM, i'll (or anyone you want) will use random.org to post the 32 teams, then your PM guy will post the names and we'll have our draw in less than 5 minutes? Nobody will have any ideas or influence over the draw that way.

[Donk Magnet]

I can help if you need someone. Not involved so don't care who wins.

[TheDrunkenOne]

[PEACEBROTHER]

Does anyone know whats going on with this ?

[dobby]

I think Flushdraw is taking over. Starting to turn into a bit of a disaster now.

Nah leaving it to Ray, it's his baby. I offered him a couple of fool proof ways of doing it to make sure it was done quickly without any ambiguity, or without any raised eyebrows, but he didn't go for it. It should take no longer than 5 mins to do.

My bad, thought you were doing the "draw". I just want to know who I will be cheering for tbh. Already have Mexico, Honduras and USA in other sweeps so can't be much worse

Ok Flushdraw, sounds like a plan. I'll pm Donk Magnet the players names now. You do the team draw.

[Flushdraw]

I won't be near a laptop til about 1230

I am online for a bit. PM me if you want.

Just let me know what you need me to do.

[Micknail]

Same, if you want to send the players to Megatron,
he'll pm you back a random list, and post on the thread that it is done.

Once this is done, I'll randomise the list of countries and post them up.
Hopefully I can remember to include all 32 of them.

[Donk Magnet]

I have randomised the names that were sent to me on random.org I can do the same with the teams if you guys like.

[Micknail]

I have randomised the names that were sent to me on random.org I can do the same with the teams if you guys like.

lol, The whole point of this is that the one person does not do both lists.

Just send what you have done to Ray.

I'll do the countries in ten minutes.
When Ray sees your pm he can then post your random list up, only after I have posted my list up.

[RG67]

Let the banter begin

How the F*** does Phil Baker run so well........Brazil, I mean come on and to make it even worse his better half Lorraine goes and bags herself Germany. Lucky couple lol

[RG67]

Novelty bet, Croatia to beat Brazil in the opening game 9/1.

Serious bet:

Australia, Costa Rica, Iran, Honduras & Algeria all to finish the group stage with less than 1.5 pts.

[dobby]

So far in various sweeps I have Honduras, Mexico, USA, France and waiting on one other. Honduras and Mexico are in the randomness so should make some money there

[IPB Champ]

Cheers Mick owe you a craft beer Brazil win Spain runner up for all the loots

[Loopz]

Nice upgrade from Honduras

[Boylo91]

From spain to Costa Rica

Beautiful

[RG67]

I'm pretty sure mine is a downgrade lol.......Holland to Ecuador......seems like a bad deal to me.

South American Country should win in my opinion anyway so fingers crossed lol

[RG67]

From spain to Costa Rica

Beautiful

Ye, I'm a little disappointed I don't have a booby prize in there now lol

[Duecewilder]

Worst Christmas Ever....

Waiting for This draw to be done is nearly as exciting as Christmas Eve when i was a sprogg!

Just ruined Christmas

Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk 2

Just woke up to a bag of coal under the tree

Nice upgrade from Honduras

[MegaSin]

From England to Croatia.... So I'm happy.

[RG67]

So Westlife is first off the mark with a 3-1 victory last night. 3 games today but only one worth watching in my opinion, Spain -v- Holland @ 8pm. A low scoring affair in my view but should be entertaining.

No goalless games by both teams in qualification and with Dutch averaging 3.9 and Spain 2.13 I disagree. Think both these teams go through ahead of Chile and Austrailia and will play it tight but goals will come.......I hope

[RG67]

@Boylo91 From Spain to Costa Rica was a downgrade yeh, lol, what a swap

The Bakers are going strong here.

Ecuador, wtf!!!! Can't even get a point v Switzerland, early bath for me

[Boylo91]

@Boylo91 From Spain to Costa Rica was a downgrade yeh, lol, what a swap

Downgrade??pfffttt!! That was a serious upgrade !!! haha

[RG67]

So far those confirmed whose football interest can move on to the upcoming Premiership Season are:

Megasin
JohnOB
IPB Champ
The Jiggaman
Peacebrother

I am quite confident I will be joining that list myself within the next couple of days.
