50/50

January 10, 2019January 10, 2019 by Cole Pontefract, posted in For Sale, Fundraising

As you might know, I am going to Gothia, Sweden, for a soccer tournament this summer July 2019. You also might know that I need to raise a lot of money. A LOT for a 13-year-old! So lately, as it has been a bit stress full with trying to come up with ways of earning money, I thought of a 50/50.

In case you don’t know what a 50/50 draw is, people, enter with money, and then I draw a ticket and go to my spreadsheet and see who the winner is. Say I raised $100, the winner would get $50, and I would get $50.

If you win, I can send you 50% of the money on it! A little like ‘Go Fund Me’ just different. I have a PayPal account and if you would like to enter, please click on this link here

If you want to learn more about PayPal, click the link here!

I would appreciate you maybe just checking it out. Also, the draw date will be on February 1st. The minimum requirement to enter is $10.

I will also be posting the winner on a blog post and then sending them the money. If you want to email me any questions my email is pontefractcole@gmail.com

Thank You:)

Youth World Cup (Gothia Sweden) fund raising

August 19, 2018August 19, 2018 by Cole Pontefract, posted in Soccer, Sports

So, as the school year approaches and the soccer season starts up again, my team and I all have Gothia on our minds now. Every single thing we do now is to help us in the near future. So far I have raised quite a bit of money by going to people’s door and asking if they would be interested in buying a raffle ticket to win a gift basket from a local Cafe and a wine bottle from Napa Valley. I am doing some other things but now it’s time for me to do a GoFundMe.

GoFundMe is a way for people to donate to me and is an awesome company founded by Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester back in 2010. Since then, the company has raised over 5 BILLION dollars! That’s right you read that correct, 5 billion dollars. Not only is it a way to raise money, but it is a way to share your stories to others and why you are doing this and other things like how you got to where you are now.

Using this link here, even you can help me achieve this dream by donating. By the beginning of the may long weekend 2019 I need to have raised $3000 dollars minimum. It is very appreciated if you would donate.

On June 14, the 2018 Russia world cup starts! The last world cup was in Brazil and Germany won. They beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time. The tournament starts out with 8 groups with 4 nationalities in each group and there are 32 teams in total. In this post, I will be predicting the 2018 World Cup.

Groups

Group A: Russia, Uruguay, Egypt and Saudia Rabia|Group B: Iran, Spain, Portugal and Morocco| Group C: France, Peru, Denmark and Australia| Group D: Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria and Iceland| Group E: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Costa Rica|Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden and South Korea|Group G: England, Belgium, Panama and Tunsia| Group H: Colombia, Japan, Poland and Senegal

My Predictions

In group A, I predict that Uruguay and Egypt are going through. In group B, Spain and Portugal. Group C, France and Denmark. Group D, Argentina and Iceland. Group E, Brazil and Costa Rica. Group F, Germany and Sweden. Group G, Belgium and England. And last but not least, Group H, Colombia and Poland.

Now, in the tournament tree, on the left-hand side for the round of sixteen, Uruguay lost to Portugal 2-1, France beat Iceland 3-1, Brazil beat Sweden 4-1 and Belgium beat Poland 2-0. On the right-hand side of the tournament tree, Spain beat Egypt 3-1, Argentina beat Denmark 4-1, Germany beat Costa Rica 4-0 and Colombia lost to England 2-1.

In the quarterfinals on the left-hand side, France beat Portugal 4-2 on PK’S after being a 1-1 draw and Brazil beat Belgium 3-1. On the right-hand side, Spain beat Argentina 2-0 and Germany beat England 3-1.

In the semi-finals on the left-hand side, France beat Brazil 3-2 and on the right-hand side, Germany beat Spain 1-0.

In the third place game, Spain beat Brazil 1-0. And, in the 2018 World Cup Final, I predict that Germany will beat France 2-1.

What You Have To Know

This is a prediction and this is not who I want to win. Yes, I am cheering for England, Germany, France and Iceland but mainly for Germany and England. I would also like to see Iceland do well since it is there the first time in the world cup. I think Iceland will do well because of how well they played in the 2016 Euros. (Portugal won)
