Ab'ers Top Tips To Get The Most Out Of The World Cup Brazil 2014

[Dog_Surfing]

The 2022 World Cup is scheduled to take place in an air conditioned greenhouse that thousands of migrant slaves have died to build, so it's likely you won't enjoy it very much :( Oh well, please put that out of your mind for now... it is VITAL that you fully immerse yourself in the upcoming proceedings in Brazil. Follow my top tips to get the most out of the greatest tournament on Earth!

*** TIP 1: Set up a Work Sweepstake ***

Dupe co-workers into paying money to select teams via a “random draw” ;) Print out the tokens yourself and mark Brazil with a small pencil mark so that you can select it yourself. If you get 32 entries (one person for each team) you’re basically getting 32/1 odds on what should be 3/1 – that’s great business, well done.

*** TIP 2: Get Behind England ***

If we beat these countries in the great wars, we can sure as hell get a ball in their net. You’re not a true England fan unless you purchase a St George’s flag or bunting (don’t affix this to your home with too much enthusiasm, you will need to remove it after the group stages).

*** TIP 3: Buy snacks ***

I’ve yet to watch anything on television that couldn’t be improved by a range snacks and drinks. Following on from "get behind England" suggestion above, why not create an “England salad” with some cherry/plum tomatoes acting as the red part of our beloved flag? Or how about dropping some cherry tomatoes in some milk for an England themed drink?

Please contribute your own tips so we can all enjoy this together!!!

is it so important for the Brazilian people that brazil win ''. eh yes ! 3-1 :)

It was certainly very important to me having taken full advantage of William Hill's offer of evens on Brazil after midday, limited to the first 50,000 and to a max stake of £20. By using the accounts of family and a few friends, i managed to stake a ton and receive 2 tons:-) :-)

"I understand that success is important to the internal stability of Brazil."

Eh?? Are you suggesting their nation will descend into chaos if they lose a football match? Ye Gods! What on earth is the matter with people. It's a bloody game for God's sake (and not a very good one at that).

[anneasquith]

not a football fan then new judge ? LOL

[AB Editor]

New Judge - it has certainly been pitched that way. If tonight had been the beginning of the worst WC Brazil had ever been in, especially starting with an own goal, you can add the usual set of easily excitable young men to the crowds already protesting in the street.

That being the case, if their population is so crass as to be that sensitive to the result of a football match they should never have been awarded the competition in the first place (so long as England was not the alternative, of course!).
