Everyone loves the Football World Cup, especially TV retailers, but there is one thing people love the most about the big tournament – the World Cup 0-0 draw.
There’s nothing like spending a good 90 minutes of watching your favourite sport (bandwagon or genuine fan) to see no goals, and in some cases during a Football World Cup, no goals.
For some reason the World Cup 0-0 draw seems to be much more widely acceptable than a regular season 0-0 draw or Harness Racing, with the importance of the big individual games giving preference over action sometimes.
So as ever we like to do things different, so for this World Cup we are going to celebrate the World Cup 0-0 Draw with a Tipping competition based solely on the ultimate sporting stalemate.
HOW TO PLAY THE GREAT WORLD CUP 0-0 CHALLENGE
It’s relatively simple. Find your nearest World Cup draw and look at just the Group games and try and pick five potential o-o draws from the first 48 games of the group stages.

Why five draws? Because he draw happens to be around 10% of all World Cup results, so with 48 First Round games to choose from, it fits nicely to pick five.
HOW DOES IT SCORE
For every game you pick a 0-0 Draw for, you get one point for every goal scored. If you correctly pick a 0-0 Draw, you get zero points. And the point of the game is to get no points.
