No worries at all @Emilee. Since you drew it before you can have 20 (Qatar).
If anybody else wishes to join the sweepstake late, let me know and I can draw you a random number.

Well, that's 'Match Day 1' complete and we're straight onto 'Match Day 2'. Today/tonight/tomorrow morning, we have:
5pm (BST): Czechia (@Louise1970 and @robt) v South Africa (@vikingqueen and @Adam____F)
8pm (BST): Switzerland (@Mr_Shoes_Tied and @gothchick56) v Bosnia and Herzegovina (@LilMissOops and @Smartbutcasual80)
11pm (BST): Canada (@JoeGro) v Qatar (@annewilko and @Emilee)
2am (BST): Mexico (@spb and @danish) v South Korea (@SheffieldMan1976)
Will anyone be watching these? I have to admit some of these fixtures sound like they could be a bit rough on the eyes (Switzerland v Bosnia anyone?) But I'll be checking out as many of them as I can.
I'll pick Czechia, Switzerland, Canada and Mexico as winners, but I imagine there's going to be a draw in there somewhere at least!

That's so kind, thank you! I don't know if they're any good but it's who I picked so I'm happy!

And they're playing tonight!

I've watched them in the comenbol since I can / since I was a teen, Ivory coast is one of those teams that's underrated, so I'm surprised or disappointed… they were good in the gold cup last year also.
I'm still sticking with Ecuador or Columbia winning, I'll go down on my own sword with wrong predictions.
Plus the people of these nations have a wonderful culture & are beautiful to look at.

If South Africa do not get their act together in the box they are going to lose. Not the most exciting of games. South Africa are too slow.

Yeah I thought it was a good match to be fair @wrighty08.
I've got Switzerland in the draw so I'm watching it but it's not the most entertaining match so far lol

I usually nod off while England’s on but not last night!! Bosnia, though… 😬 At least the end of the half is livening up?

Not so secretly very grateful that Switzerland and Bosnia is now half over 🤣

Let’s hope there are some goals in the second half of Switzerland v Bosnia match.

You got your wish!!

Switzerland suddenly came to life 4-1 good goals. Glad Bosnia got one.

Bosnia are hard to watch but at least Switzerland scored some goals. Czech Republic are quite boring as well. I’m watching Canada now, I’d like to see Canada win and I’m looking forward mostly to the Mexico - Korea game later, I will stay awake for this as I think this could be a fun game :)

looks like canada will win

That second goal was a very nice shot. And now a penalty!

Now it’s not a penalty. All sorts of things are happening in this game, it’s fun

this match certainly isn't boring 4 goals and 2 red cards, so far anyway
