Am back to work tonight, after a few days holiday, to find out I won the first part of our works' Fantasy World Cup Football League, beating about 20 other "proper" football fans.
I have only recently become interested in football, joining the Premiership Fantasy League last year (in which I can third from last). But I have been enjoying the World Cup and my efforts have been paid off with my win of £45, not alot of money, but considering I only paid £10 to enter the team I'm very happy (even happier that the other guys noses have been put out of joint, especially Bob, who is organising the game, who I beat by 1 point!).
We also have a works "league" set up with the Metro newspaper and I am currently running second on that out of about 10 in our league. Unfortunately with this one there are over 220,000 teams in total, and I am 24,310th out of the whole lot!! Still, I'm very pleased to be doing so well (just outside the top 10% can't be bad), and I more than got my money back which is fantastic.
The main thing though is to make sure that the guys that I beat know who beat them and don't insist that I picked the team for their looks alone!! I would have had a shit team if I did that, but I think maybe I'll do that for the end of the tournament, my Fantasy Bedroom League!!
