Greetings! Been away from
an internet connection in
the deserts of egypt and
finally remembered to
check this site and much
to my disappointment
found I only finished
second. Happy but not
satisfied Germans take
their third place medals
off (or second in this
case) when they receive
them. But I won't decline
the $90 reward and will
use it to invest in a
German bratwurst stand in
Italy's Campo Dei Fiori.

Sensationalllll.
The result may not be to
everyone’s satisfaction
but ….
The Winners of the Pool
are Casper with $180 and
Beckenbrauer (Whoever
that is.) with $90.
Congratulations to you
both. See you at the
next competition in EURO
08. Bet you can’t do it
again.

Hey Knighthawk61, I
thought that you weren't
that fussy about their
wine either. It is
unfortunate that this is
coming to an end. The
'Pansy Riders' are now my
only chance for
redemption, and prayer, a
lot of prayer. Sajjad

Moving upstairs? Moving
downstairs? What does it
really matter? It just
matters whether you have
had fun. Looking back on
it we have all learned a
lot which we can use in
Euro 2008. I know I can
still avoid the teams I
really hate – like Italy
and England. It may cost
me a bit of points, but
again what does it
matter? France? I could
learn to hate them too,
but it would be the only
hate I have for La Belle
France.

after all, you are people

Casper, I know that you
have heard all of the
jokes about your name, so
I will not even try
because it would be too
easy. Damn, how did you
ever decide on France, I
hope that you placed some
real money on France and
then you can split your
winnings with the top 5
or 6 people in this
Mini-league. I'll take
mine in small bills

perhaps the placing for

and good luck to the

Well Dan, what happened
to GERMANY. Did they have
problems with their balls
too? Looks like you may
have backed into the
winners circle. Did you
now that the Italians hid
a pizza at mid field. I
guess this little
exercise is quickly
coming to an end and may
I say to the 17 other
contestants, it has been
a slice and I hope to
have the opertunity to
take all your money at a
later date. (the real
reason that Brazil lost
is because they are
playing on new grass, it
has a thicker blade that
the Brazilians are used
to and their shoes slip
off of the big blades.)

I can't say I'm sorry to

2006 with your
questionable tactics and
deliberate misleading of

pool. Where you got some
of your information (I'm
sure it wasn't that same

note to sajjad, I don't

you're team has lost.

I have a hard time
believing what I saw. My
fav team lost! It is a
poor craftman who blames
his tools but the new
soccer balls are now
being made in Romania and
my team, the
Brazilminators did not
have any time to practice
with the new style of
ball. The shipment was
lost on the way to Brazil
(AirCanada). This fact
will be exposed once the
tournament is over and
will be in the next
Sports Illustrated
magazine. I have a lot of
other excuses. Does
anyone want to hear them?

Please accept my
appologies if I have hurt
anyones feelings. It was
in the heat of the moment
that my verbal outbusts
got the best of me. I
realize that I have had
life long relationships
with many of you and if I
have offended any one of
you, I deeply regret it.
Our leader, Knighthawk44
is completely right. As
usual, his sense of fair
play and common sense
makes me realize that
life is too short to
abuse others for the sake
of elevating one's own
self worth.

Hi there. It is really
getting tough now.
Emotions are running
really high. People’s
feelings are being

time for all to take
Sepp
Blatter’s counsel and
play fair. Is it worth it
(ask yourself) to abuse
your long standing
relationships, just to
win? PLAY FAIR.

Casper, you are indeed a
worthy foe. I bet you
even cheer for the
Eskimos when you know
they have no chance at
all of winning, It does
my heart good to see that
there is at least one
principaled person left
trying to be in the race,
if you can really call a
two person race a race.
So long France, you will
quickly be a fading
memory like good French
wine, ever since they
started to add antifreeze
to it. I can also see
Germany fading into the
distance as the old world
now realizes that South
America is the new soccer
hot bed...........

That knighthawk44 was
pretty fast with the lip
when challenged about the
ligitamacy of this game.
(now if I could only
spell). I guess when the
Oilers lost, he just lost
his will to be involved
in anything fun anymore,
like the World Cup. In
the great game of life, I
think that he should get
a purple card. All those
who agree should send him
an email at 23:07 on July
1 with a picture of
Barney in it. Since this
game is over except for
two of us, the rest of
you can now start with
the quick jibes on the
Banter Board. Bring it
on, Dan can take it,
where as I am quite
fragile and would have my
feeling hurt if you say
anything about me, so
words of encouragement
would be in order,

crack the program and
enter their 'guesses'
after the game has been
played. Robb, I guess you

We have a tie!!! Who
would have thought?
Congratulation to Dan
Sombach and Casper.
The pool is $20 X 18 =
$360. ¼ for Group stage
- $90. End of the Cup –
½ for the overall winner
- $180. ¼ for the runner
up - $90. So the payout
is $45 each to Dan and
Casper. I know no one
will join me in wishing
both you success in the
last half.
