The final is gonna be a
Pisa cake for the
Italianos. They will just
Rome onto the pitch and
Venice off the Frenchies.
There won't be any
Messina bout. I wonder
how much of a diFirenze
it will make to our
points totalis?!

I'm hoping that you get
about 50 points for the
bonus prize of guessing
when the first goal is
(sort of like saying next
goal wins when you're 5-0
down).

Now it is between Ian
Taylor and Stenka Heino.
The rest of us were
rubbish particularly
those who, like me,
predicted England would
win and those who thought
a South American team
could win in Europe. 1958
doesn't count. The World
Cup only became a proper
competition in the 1970s
with the possible
exception of '66.

'It's a game of 2
halves', 'it's a
marathon, not a sprint'
and I'm 'sick as a
parrot', I tried to bet
against the biggest world
cup cliche of all that
the South Americans can't
perform in Europe (well
at least they could beat
Sweden at home in 1958,
wasn't that the last time
England did) but it's
ok, I've fixed it with
the Italians to play 10
accross the back in the
final for the 1st 26
minutes and let Ricardo
the Portugese Goalkeeper
score in the 27th. So the
bonus prize is mine and
nobody will suspect
anything.

Dave, you've creeped up
the league there. Thought
you were long gone after
predicting germany to go
out in the 2nd round.
I've bombed in the latter
stages. Roll on next
season...

If thats the case I'm

will be at home by
Monday!!

definitely out. And today
we get rid of the
Argentina or Germany
folks too. Thank you for
playing.

Keith, thanks for the
compliment. My
predictions are based
upon the number of hits
each country name returns
on google with a bit of
tweeking by me. As you
know, my knowledge of
football is slight.

Ginger, you did get
points for Ukraine. You
predicted 6 out of 8
correct and so have 24
points so far from this
knock out stage.

said:
Even though it's harsh
not getting points for
the second round, if
you've made the right
predictions you'll cash
in soon. In the later
stages you get points
like confetti/monopoly
and money. I feel like
I'm close to buying
Regent Street.

superiority I'll still
come through in the end.

currently be TOP if we
got 2 points for each
side correctly predicted

For this game to have
been fair we should have
got 2 points for each
side correctly predicted
to reach the last 16. Why
on earth was that not
part of this game?! Dah!
Isn't that the whole
point - predicting the
most numbers of teams
through each round?!

It's safe to say that
there will be no clear
cut winner until the
final is over with. Come
on ARGENTINA! Does anyone
know the bonus prize for
guessing when the 1st
goal is scored in the
final? could you have put
the 1st min. and still
get the bonus if it came
in the 89th as it says
'You get the bonus prize
if the first goal is
scored after X mins' ?

CONGRATULATIONS to me,
Dave and Greenie. We each
predicted 14 out of 16
correct for the last 16.
No-one else did! So the
moral victory goes to us.
But I'm sure we 3 will be
moving up the league
soon.

well said Tait - why did
we not get points for
predicting the last
16!!!! I got 14 out of 16
right. No-one else in our
league did, did they?

Get in there! Well done
the Swiss for their 2-nil
victory to take me to the
top. SHEDDERS you were
the only one that had
Ecuador making the 2nd
stage - shame you don't
get any points for that!

12 points behind the
overall lead but still
not bad - what I don't
understand is that we
don't get any points for
predicting who gets into
the 2nd round

Not bad Pratt - only 9
points off the OVERALL
top ten list. But its
early days - I'm pacing
myself. The thing about
Carlos is he can't even
defend either and he's
about 3 foot 7. If he was
English he'd be playing
for Gillingham.

Why does Roberto Carlos
still take free kicks.
Has he scored one (or
even made the crowd go
ooooh!) for club or
country since that, what
must now be deemed a
lucky strike, in 1997.

Well I thought the Roos
did well against Brazil
last night, particularly
only being a goal down
until the last couple of
minutes. Here's to a draw
or win against Croatia to
take the Roos through to
the next round.

As Johnny would tell you
its easy to write when
you are top of the
league!!
Looking forward to there
being no games I want to
watch today so that I can
have a night with some
sleep.
I thought the Aussies
weren't into footy but
I've been getting
pressure sores and square
eyes from watching 7pm to
7am!
Looking down on you all

Thanks for the compliment
Pete (if you weren't
English I'd assume there
was a hint of sarcasm
there) I was rubbish in
the early rounds last
time and only won because
I predicted the winner
& got a million
points, so as you are top
of the Anglos you are
bound to win when Owen
(hargreaves that is not
Michael) Theo & all
win the cup for you.
keith, good to see you
and the boys and girls
(and to speak to you
Ian). What did you say
about Ghana? I only saw a
bit in a pub in Troon
waiting for the ferry,
but they looked quite
good especially the
keeper. For once I wish
you had been right. Where
did you come from Pratt
(see you got the USA
Italy bloodbath right)
and why are you not
supporting the Aussies
apart from one of course
(or is that 2 or is the
latest one Scottish)
congratulations anyway -
on the new arrival that
is, not your lucky
guessing!

Nails' inexorable rise to

Greetings pop pickers, I
see the rising sun set
very quickly yesterday at
the hands of the
Socceroos.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,
go, go, go!
Better open up my
predicitions as well so
that Taylor can see how
it's done. Surprised
you're not supporting the
Roos yourself Keith - the
Southern Cross contains
the only St. Andrews flag
to have got near the
world cup in years!!!

Greenie let's see your
predictions, we could all
do with a laugh! go to
edit your profile and
click the public box.
Keith, you obviously
don't answer your e-mails
so I'll try here for 3rd
time lucky. Coming over
to the fatherland (i.e.
Scotland, couldn't get
tickets for World Cup) on
sat 10/6 for a week in a
caravan in St. Andy's.
Good to meet up with you
and other low lives in
this league who may be up
that way.
