That's really horrible, Duke - and I'd assumed you were above toilet humour.

I'm changing a prediction.

France vs Switzerland 2-1

From 1-1, eh?

I've spend all afternoon considering the exact same switch - but two draws against each other in qualifying, and no 1-1 yet, so I'll stick with my 1-1.

It's weird to follow a world cup wanting specific scorelines rather than the teams I like.

That's why I don't like playing Fantasy Football any more. Mind you, I'm not bothering to change any of my scores (even the 160-0 one ), and am not bothered about this league really - I just want to watch some great football, and I haven't been disappointed so far.

Erm, care to explain that metaphor, Winston? Try as I might I can't decode it - unless you are pointing the nozzle of the hose at your face and waiting for the golf ball to complete its journey.

Erm, I suck.

Spoiler:

Bad enough to drive a golf ball through a garden hose

I thought for a minute about including some reference to e.g. MrFun or Asher being um.. serviced, but decided against it.

Yeah. Should have stuck with 1-1. Would have got 2 pts at least

[Dauphin]

Boring 0-0.

Well done alva.

[Locutus]

Yay, Dutch top 3 again! Normality restored

[Dauphin]

Prediction change:

Spain - Ukraine : 2 - 1.

My previous 3-2 was probably a bit goal happy and ignored the issue of heat . It should be overcast in Leipzig, but still in the 30's according to BBC.

South Korea - Togo : 2 - 1

Hehe... I've noticed that if I complain, life immediately decides to show that I'm just a whiner by immediately alleviating the problem I was complaining about Either that, or South Korea is just awesome.

[duke o' york]

I prefer the latter option.

Well at least I had the right result for Brazil, although I feel most people will have been overly optimistic with the score.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

i picked 2 outta 3 exact scores today.

[duke o' york]

Tante mieux pout toi.

[Locutus]

For tomorrow:

Germany vs Poland 2-0

Rest of the second round of matches I'll post after Group H played their first.

klose is off to a good start - glad i picked him to score most goals.


was ronaldo useless in the game today or what? brazil was playing with only 10 men against the croates.
