Bucky gets on the ball for the World Cup
The 2010 FIFA World Cup is almost here, and Bucky Bingo has pulled out all of the stops to accommodate both the free bingo-playing football fans and those who would much rather play bingo than follow the action.
England manager Fabio Capello has some big decisions to make regarding his side's tactics and team formation this summer, but Bucky has already chosen it's 'squad' for the next month with a repertoire of great new competitions.
New summer promotions have been rolled out, with some big substitutions made by Bucky. For example, TV Tuesday has been moved further up the pitch to Thursday, just behind our striking weekend games. World Cup Wednesday bolsters the midfield, giving players the chance to win a replica England shirt or a cash alternative. Bounce Back Tuesday rewards those who play on Tuesday by entering them into a Wednesday draw where their loyalty can result in credit ranging between £5 and £50.
Capello's lucky Golden Balls
We've put together Fabio Capello's fantasy bingo card, and hope the Italian can have as much success on the pitch as our players do online:
23 - The number of players Capello has to choose to take with him to South Africa. There has been lots of speculation regarding the players heading over, and the Italian has had to make some tough phone calls to those not making the trip.
9 - England's star man is expected to be number 9 Wayne Rooney. The Manchester United striker enjoyed an impressive season in the Premiership and fans will be hoping his form spreads to the international scene.
66 - Of course, we all know that England's only World Cup victory came on home soil in 1966. The pressure to repeat the feat has gotten to players in the past will this year be any different?
51 - The 51 million population of England will be behind the boys in South Africa, although those who are not too fussed by the games can always find solace in a game of online bingo!
