World Cup 2010 Footie Prediction Compo

[Big Papa Zone 93]

I defer to the Great Daymo on scoring.

Dearest Maven, you humble me

OK firstly, well one all for working around my workplace IT policy/UTI issues so admirably. Secondly, the predictions are for 90 minutes only - it's always been that way. I should have made that clear earlier. Thirdly, Nicky will get points for everything he posted (as someone pointed out, he didn't post the Uruguay v Korea score, presumably because he missed the KO for that one.) And fourthly, bear with me while I knock an updated table up!!

Well there we have it, folks. At the end of the group stage, it's RKL on top of the pile as we head into the knockout stages. Still all to play for, but the biggest surprise is seeing the current UK domestic champ, Nicky, rooted to the bottom of the table - what's up with that!?

Sachinky - 31

RKL - 30

Justine&David - 29

Paul - 25

NotworkSte - 25

woohoo!

I figure if I keep flattering the Great Daymo I might get extra points for sucking up.

Did I tell you how great you are today, Damian?

Boss, it doesn't quite work that way

If you ever saw The Fast Show, Damo here is rather like Competitive Dad.

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

I forgot all about Competitive Dad.

Okay, now I'm scared.

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Good lord that goal was just totally embarrassing. And totally par for the course.

complete disgrace 4:1 sack fabio.. eejit

[NotworkSte 19]

Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

Obviously missed Rio AND Beckham, even still. Definitely dispelled the John Terry self styled greatest defender and leader myth too

Argentina Germany should be excellent!

[Pooky 3,693]

Definitely dispelled reinforced the John Terry is a self styled greatest defender and leader myth seaside donkey, too

Just a few small repairs, there

[sachinky 464]

GERMANY!

[Justine+David 218]

I was ribbing David a little bit about it and he got a bit upset with me! I asked him, "David, hon, when we first met and I jokingly asked if you liked soccer, you said that you aren't into it at all and don't watch any matches. What gives?"

"Justine, I'm not into football at all when compared to the average Englishman. But even I have to watch the world cup!"

Apparently he says that Germany and Argentina are England's worst enemies when it comes to football and that I'm not allowed to support them when they play England but I LIKE Germany! Took 4 years of the language in school, spent a month there. They're awesome!

But I may need to keep my opinions to myself in 2014 if they come head-to-head again

[NotworkSte 19]

/sigh

I can't even console myself by knowing I am bottom of our league table

[Big Papa Zone 93]

Could somebody tell Sachinky he needs to predict a score after 90 minutes for the Spain v Portugal game please? It would seem his PM box is full.
