Mini-leagues have arrived!

You can now create minileagues to compete with your family, enemies, friends and colleagues. It's really simple... to create a new league, go to create mini-league; you can choose a name for your league and even a JPG file to use as a logo. To join an existing mini-league, just browse through the list of leagues.

As ever, if you have any feedback on this feature please do send in your comments and suggestions!

Tell us who you are!

Check out the competition :) On the new entrants tab you can see the list of entrants (already over 600). Click on a name to see their user page. If you want to edit the profile that's displayed on your user page, simply edit your profile. You'll also see a list of any mini-leagues you're a part of. Mini-leagues, what are they? Hold on for another announcement ;)

By popular demand

We've had over 150 entrants in the first 24 hours, wow! Several people have already emailed me to ask if you'll be able to set up mini-leagues with your friends. I say: definitely, that feature should be ready by next weekend. If there are any other features you'd like, feel free to post a comment here or contact us directly.

England World Cup Song released

Embrace have launched the official England World Cup song... you can listen to a snippet of the song here. Now I quite like Embrace having listened to their Out of Nothing album on many a long train journey. But is this 'footbally' enough?

What's your opinion of the song?

Dark horses

Which of the less-fancied teams do you think will do well in Germany? I always have a soft spot for the Czech Republic, but they have a tough group with the USA and Italy. Could Korea repeat their success of four years ago? Leave your comments by hitting the "comments" link below.

Welcome to World Cup Predictions

This summer, the world's greatest sporting event comes to Germany: the FIFA World Cup 2006. Play World Cup Predictions and you could have two reasons to smile come the World Cup Final on July 9th: your team lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy, and you walking away with $1000.

The site's a little basic at present, but there will be lots of new features coming online as we count down the days until the World Cup. Good luck!
