Okay Gentlemen, We have news on the Matt Hawker Cup 2019.

So far, what do we know?
The date will be the 15th of June
And held in Oxfordshire-ish again.

After speaking to all 24 players, they have all told me they would like to play again next year, and due to their monumental effort how can anyone say no?

After seeing the wonderful words and backing on the site, it is clear a lot more people want to join in for 2019, so we have decided to increase squad sizes from 12 to 14, allowing us to have 4 new players.

Quite frankly there is no easy way to choose, so from as of right now we are running a competition.

It is one question you have to answer, by midnight, Friday the 22nd of June.

How many in TOTAL, goals will be scored at the world cup 2018. So yes this includes all goals previous to today, so time to do some homework ;)

The closest 4 will be added into the Matt Hawker cup, the next 4 after that will be placed on the reserve list. It is an honour to Matt and the website that so many people want to get involved and for that i am extremely grateful.

For any ties in the final standings, it will work on closest guess then move down to who submitted their guess first, so you may want to wait till friday after a few more goals, but is it worth the risk?!

Please email me on benjaminallen1991@hotmail.co .uk, your username if you have one, contact email address and your guess.

Best of luck!

Would be great if we could get a few more of the United boys involved. Jred? Red man? Beast? Fancy trying your luck with me Ken and the other United lads who got involved?

Nice if we could have the MU page vs the LFC page?

Just saying it would be nice.

Leahy i think the game should be held in Ireland and me and you could be co-managers of Ken's side, and making sure the drink flows lol, it was also nice to see Ken kitted his team out in some decent colours.

It sounds awesome, alas I'm probably not going to be in the UK.

If it continues to appeal and more and more people are interested, it might be a good idea to have a mini-banter world cup. Have the different pages represented, maybe start with a 6-a-side tournament, obviously City will need to hire a bunch of mercenaries to represent them, lol.

If I'm about I'll definitely come and support and throw in a few bob. Keep up the good work guys.
