World Cup Pool Debacle


Okay, so the world has gone mental and the FIFA World Cup 2006 is underway. I am sure there are thousands of office pools all around the world where there are a bunch of disgruntled employees with crappy teams like the Ukraine.
Okay, thats my crappy team, and altho they have a chance to get through to round 2, there is no chance of them becoming 1 of the 7 teams to have won the World Cup since its inception.

How bad is this. I organised our office pool, well actually I delegated it to one of my staff. We held the draw and it all went of nicely. But then the proverbial hit the fan. On Friday, just before kick-off, one staff member came to me and said he was upset with the team that he got because they had no chance of winning.
I said, "hey nor does mine."
He said, "Mine has less chance."
I said, " who have you got."
He said "Uruguay!"

Oops... Uruguay did not make it into the finals... It turns out that the guys putting the draw together put in Uruguay for some reason, and left out Switzerland...
