Sweepstake Results

So the World Cup is done and to be honest I was bored out of my mind by that final and by Spain throughout.

Anyway, Roger picked Spain so will enjoy his £100, and Mr Mulvihill Senior just grabs the top goalscorer as his guess of 157 is closer than Lenny's 177. Their two players were Villa and Forlan. No-one had Muller or Sneijder, besides it was always top goalscorer not the golden boot winner.

Please can everyone else who entered get me their entrance fees asap via paypal (ss@the6yardbox.com) or in cash to either me, Sim or Jack.

Thank you all hope it made the tournament a little bit more exciting for everyone!

Pick #22: Mark W gets Netherlands / Humberto Suazo

A great pick last out of the pot for Mark, who has a serious shot at the main pot with a strong, highly underrated Holland team.

Pick #21: Ioan O gets Chile / Frank Lampard

I said before I thought this was probably the worst pick... look on the bright side Ioan Owen at least you have a reason to support England now!

Pick #20: Ben J gets Germany / Thierry Henry

by sheps 20:30, 10 June 2010 | ?, (0 votes) 1 1276198200

Ben is late out of the pot - I hope the pick makes up for it! Apart from Jack the Downing tax dodgers have done quite well out of the draw!

In half an hour a summary and picks left article will be published... if you're unhappy with your pick have another go! Still 10 left in the pot including some huge, huge names (Spain, Argentina...)

Pick #19: David S gets Ivory Coast / Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

by sheps 20:00, 10 June 2010 | ?, (0 votes) 1 1276196400

Vodka Bob gets a pick that he may need some vodka to consule himself with. Huntelaar will be up front with Van Persie so may knock a few in but the dutch will need to go far. Ivory Coast have an outside shot but Drogba's injury makes things difficult.

Pick #18: Jan S gets USA / Nicolas Anelka

by sheps 19:30, 10 June 2010 | ?, (0 votes) 1 1276194600

Split loyalties on Saturday for Jan! But as another Chelsea supporter at least you have "Nicola" Anelka to cheer on in an otherwise quite weak group A - he should be starting for France in front of Henry.

Pick #17: Rich C gets Honduras / Wayne Rooney

by sheps 19:00, 10 June 2010 | ?, (0 votes) 1 1276192800

Earlier Ric said to be he was looking forward to getting given North Korea out of the sweepstake. Not far off! Wayne's a great shout for top scorer though, if England go far it won't be without 5+ Rooney goals.

Pick #16: Simon S (me) gets New Zealand / Lionel Messi

Great. A team I've done nothing but take the piss out of since I first got my "Rory Fallon" panini sticker, and a player who I have nothing but pure hatred for. Unlikely to be happy even if Messi is top goal scorer! If the "All Ferns" win I will pack up my bags and move forever to middle earth.
