It's time to start taking entries for World Cup 2018 Bingo. Choose a country and an associated word or phrase and, once the tournament is underway, you can claim your prize as soon as it appears in the newspapers, on radio, television or online.

For starters

An additional prize is on offer for predicting the first game in which the television cameras focus on a really attractive, scantily-clad young woman in tears as her team crashes out of the competition.

Terms and conditions apply.
