World Cup sweepstake: Free online tool to decide your team for Qatar 2022
The World Cup is just around the corner and people have already started planning their sweepstakes.
Gareth Southgate on England's World Cup squad
The World Cup sweepstake is a staple of every office come tournament time and Qatar 2022 is no different despite the unusual November start date. With so many people now working from home, the hat-and-paper approach may no longer be appropriate, with the need for an online tool necessary to give every member of the workforce a chance to win the highly sought-after bragging points.
Sweepstakegenerator.com has devised a solution with an online sweepstake tool. All 32 teams are there to be claimed with the option for a quick draw or a more dramatic live draw available.
You are able to be given multiple teams if you want the option to be available while you also have the opportunity to create numerous drafts, perfect if you want separate sweepstakes for your family, friends and sports teams.
Favourites Brazil and Argentina are likely to be high in demand while the likes of Qatar, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia look like clear countries to avoid if you want a little cash boost before Christmas. England are always a more difficult one, with some superstitious that pulling out the Three Lions could hamper their chances of claiming the actual World Cup trophy.
Gareth Southgate has been coy about the country’s chances of winning the competition, instead deciding to focus his pre-tournament comments about helping his players to enjoy the occasion.
“With the players we want to talk to them about the excitement of going to a World Cup,” he said after announcing his squad. “We understand the need to comment on the off-field things that surround this tournament, but we want the players to feel that enthusiasm that they’ve had since kids.

“We want to fuel that. The first couple of days we won’t be on the training pitch, bar a couple [of players] that will need to do something. We want them to transition from a hectic club schedule to thinking about England. We want to talk to them about the fact that this, whatever happens over the next four weeks, has been the second-best period for English football. We can make it the best.
“It’s the challenge mindset. How can we take the supporters on another journey, like the one they loved four years ago and loved last summer? That’s why we do it and that’s what makes playing for England special.”
