With only a few more weeks until the biggest celebration of football kicks off, I’ve come to the conclusion that the non-england games just won’t be all that exciting. I mean, you won’t have the constant feelings of fear, doubt and penaltyshootoutphobia and without something like that, it’s just not the same.

That’s why me and a mate are taking a little challenge over the next month. Deposit a fiver into a Will Hill account and make it last the whole tournament. We’re still a little sketchy on the rules but, the max stake per bet is 25p and you have to place a bet every single day (maybe even one per match, like I said a little sketchy).

I’m not for or against betting myself but I’ve spent £5 worse over the course of a month, so this should make the minimum five thousand and six hundred and seventy minutes be a whole lot more enjoyable. After all, it matters more when there is money on it. That should probably be a slogan for something. Hmm.

Anyway, if anyone wants to take part, drop a comment. I’d be interested to hear if anyone would like to ‘compete’ for the best ‘score’.
