They got 32 entrants, their kid drew the names and teams out of a couple of bowls, and the winner gets a prize in the mail. All very easy. The hilarious thing is that she couldn't get enough entrants early on, so one player entered her two cats and they got teams.

My team is Iran. The two cats pulled England and Germany!

I hope the cats lose, since I'm rooting for Panama.

one was hoping to get the USA.

I'm afraid the kitties have a decent chance for one to win the unspecified prize in the mail (which will probably be catnip treats and mice on a string at this point).

But I'm going to stick with The Man Shaft, just to piss them off and because I like the sound of it.

Up the Man Shaft!
