World Cup sweepstake kit 2018: Download and print yours here

Standard Sport15 June 2018

The World Cup is almost upon us, with it all kicking off in Moscow this afternoon when the hosts Russia take on Saudi Arabia in the opening game.

Wall charts will be up and ready to be filled in, while England fans are beginning to appear in shop windows and on cars across the country.

Brazil are favourites to win a sixth world title this summer, with holders Germany following closely.

Gareth Southgate’s England side, who begin their campaign against Tunisia in Volgograd on June 18, are tipped by most to reach the quarter-finals this time around, with the Three Lions failing to make it out of their group four years ago in Brazil.

While World Cup fever is well and truly alive, there’s one last thing you need to make sure you’re prepared for the greatest show on earth... a sweepstake.

It’s always good to have another nation to keep your eye on when England aren’t playing.
