5. When should I host a World Cup Party?
With two of the home nations in the same group, choosing the England Vs Wales fixture would be a great shout for a World Cup Party.
So get your 'The Three Lions' bar ready for Tues, 29 Nov.
With so many mid-week evening games and dark nights we think it might be the year we see more people enjoying the World Cup at home than ever before.
We also think a great shout for a World Cup party during the group stages would be England Vs USA on Friday 25 Nov or Spain Vs Germany on Sunday 27 Nov before we get knee deep into Xmas parties!
6. How can I enjoy the World Cup at work?
Being at work when the matches are on sucks and especially if you're WFH on your own!
Why not get the whole team involved with a World Cup sweep stake.

9. How can I get the kids involved during the World Cup Football?
The World Cup is a great way to get them to learn about the world beyond their country! And with countries from every corner of the world competing it's a great opportunity for them to investigate the differences around the world.
... Set them an iPad investigation task about one of the countries they haven't heard of to come up with fascinating facts.
... Use our sweepstake tool to get them to investigate a different country at a time - a bot like an advent calendar
... Get them to fill in a knock out chart as the games go on and understand how the tournament works
10. How can I fit my Xmas shopping in around the World Cup?
Well! You can always use our online personalised gifts service! We're available 24/7! And we have a gift wrapping service too to help!
But if you are going to head to the shops for some Christmas shopping there are no evening games:
Weds 7, Dec
Thursday 8, Dec
Sunday 11, Dec
Monday 12, Dec
Tuesday 13, Dec
Thursday 15, Dec
Friday 16, Dec
And then anytime after Dec 19 ... thats not a lot of time for all those special gifts!
11. How can I keep interested when my team goes out of the World Cup?
Well for some football is football is football but for others there needs to be something a bit more to it!
Thats why we created our 'World Cup Buzz Word Bingo' game which you can play along in any games listening out for the most cliched sayings from commentators you'll likely hear this World Cup!
If we don't hear 'It's Coming Home' before the tournament is over we may well have to have a huge give-away .....
