They might all have had
France to make final, but
it matters not. You were
still right first time.
Tim will win if Italy win
regardless. Lorraine will
win only if France win
and Klose is GB.(Goals in
3/4 playoff still count).
Owen can win only if
France win and Klose is
not GB.

Statto here, Svennis had
bought Theo a new bike to
amuse himself while the
big boys played football,
but forgot to fit the
stabilisers, so he has
gone back out shopping.
(Sounds more like
Nancy).
Anyway, no real change at
the top, other than we
will probably see the
last of PB. If I tip
Brazil and Argentina to
make the final, they are
guaranteed to lose their
next match - thus paving
the way for the Krauts,
and the Pomms to take top
honours. Paul is in the
top 151 overall, and
Rochie is 13509/13605 -
way to go John!!
Not so much as a squeak
from Pleghming since her
catastrophic tumble down
the leaderboard.......
As for Henry cheating, I
hate to admit it, but I
find myself agreeing with
Master Daniel, however
Spain did very little to
deserve the win. Come on
Ukraine...

Henry is an absolute

Henry, Viera, Wiltord.
They deserve nothing
better than a drubbing
against Brazil.

Oh dear, what a sad
little boy, Danny is. Dus
yor mommy mind your
bedwetting? Hello,
pupils, it is I Svennis
again, king of trainers,
prince of Swedes, master
tactician, and closet
Scolari person. My littl
poor bo Wayne mite score
1 gola in this gold cup.
Big boy Carack had a gud
toy with the giant
Condors, from South
Africa. My golden boy
Sicko was golden boot
agen. His luvly boy New
York, is playing next
match. After he has tea
and jelly with Theo. His
mummy does not like him
plying wit the big boys.
AS mi predict wos rite,
PB is good for wining
this cup. I stil luck for
Nancy. If franco loose to

And the winner
is.................
Still too close to call
given that there are 32
points on offer for the
final anyway, however,
from the leading
predictions, the
following finals are NOT
possible. Brazil v
England, Brazil v
France.
After the group stages,
Danny Boy had 15/16 teams
through, however he can
only get 6 into the last
8 although 2 are
guaranteed. Aidan had
12/16 though he is the
only person who could get
all 8 quarter finalists.
Therefore, unless you
predicted Ivory Coast v
Togo in the final, most
people still have a
chance of
glory.............and the
Golden Boot might yet
settle the matter.......
watch this space.

you??
Without wasting too many
of my precious column
inches, resorting to
personal slurs just shows
your inferior position.
You obviously can't tell
general joviality from
personal insults.However,
since my team is safely
qualified, you catch me
in a forgiving mood. I
suggest a full public
apology and retraction of
your statements is due.
If not, then I consider
you a legitimate target
for receiving both
barrels for the remainder
of the WC. England -
Bring it On.

Fiona,
He is definitely not one
of ours, unless we have
opened up an office in
India! He seems a bit of
a geek, since if you
check him out he has
joined just about every
mini-league there is.
Just a thought, I have
noticed some abuse of the
website from other
mini-leagues - they have
had their banter boards
blocked after 2000 blogs
in 2 days. It might be
worth everyone keeping a
hard copy record of all
their predictions and
giving it to Fiona, just
in case this site goes
t*ts up and we lose
everything???

To paraphrase PB, I am a

predicted Spain to make
the Final and Torres is
my GB.
Keep an eye out for a
late run from PB in the
latter rounds.
Today is the mighty
T&T v Eng. Shouldn't
be much bother there.
Good points day for young
tinnelly and murnane. I

Brazil will win at this

Update on the tinnelly
situation.
There were 14 votes for
giving him a severe
beatin. (Although many
of them were received
prior to the start of the
actual competition.) 6
people want to dock him 3
points. There were 4
votes each for fining him
or excluding him from the
league. And one vote for
summary execution. On an
unrelated manner - maybe
don't p.ss Jacek off!!
Anyway date and venue for
the beating TBC.

OBITUARY - BRAZILIAN
FOOTBALL
Tues 13/06/06. The world
watched in horror as
Brazilian Football died
on a balmy summer's
evening here in Germany.
The team of over-age,
overweight, overpaid,
balding, middle-aged
has-beens were a sorry
sight for all expectant
fans. They may have
scored 1 goal more than
Croatia, however they did
not deserve the victory
accolades.
To all those who have
predicted Brazil to win
the WC, give it up now.
At least with England,
you always know what to
expect, and the omens are
looking good.
England - Bring it On

No question - a Straight
