Every time that either the Football Word Cup or the European Championships is held, since 2008, we do a sweepstake for all of the bands that come here as a bit of extre fun. It's always free entry for the bands that come to us the most, and the teams were picked in a random fashion by the bands, from a hat, and these were the results
