Come on mate......we "Germans" stick together.........

Umm, even with our points pooled we would still be far from the lead . . .

Anyway - Pech im Spiel, Glück in der Liebe . . .

the tournament is still young and we shall get tgere in the end, like the German national team!

If the Germans make it to the final, you´re all invited to Berlin to watch it.......plenty of floor-space in the office .........bring your own inflatables..............(Bratwuerste und Sauerkraut zum Mittag....)

Ich bin dabei !

Make sure you got enough beer in the frigde as well...and Champagne

The "Germans" on the bottom of the table...I hope you'll be right Sing_Sling and the truth is gonna be shown on the pitch.

What a match! USA deserved the point , I'm hoping they can progress after that battle.

Only Explorer predicted the correct score , shooting him way up the rankings , most of us mustered a point , Khun Yak and Game4shame got 2 points each for the correct outcome.

Overall a low scoring day, hope tomorrow is better ( for me.... )

Message for Croc:

Congratulations mate...well done!

NOW.....isn't it about time you change your signature ???

Worst day was yesterday - only place to go is up at this stage of the game. I'll rebound and hit a few winners (max points).

[Khun Yak]

I'll rebound and hit a few winners (max points).

Sounds exactly like my plan for the night...

all to start with: Japan - Croatia 2-2

[Sing_Sling]

Japan looks the stronger so far . . . great penalty save

[jackr]

He side-stepped

[jackr]

Srna you're <deleted>, just cost me 6 points!

[chonabot]

Hi Lads, here's the update after the first 2 games. I felt for the Ozzies, they deserved a point, also Japan deserved theirs/ If England had played with the intensity of USA or OZ they would have been top of their group and qualified with a game to spare, hang on................. they are

Croc is way ahead , 2nd place is up for grabs , due to Jackr's cheque not clearing in my bank.

I'll update you all after the France game.

Don't take this the wrong way but, I'm coming....................

They draw which was my prediction as well. Lets climb up a bit together...a time to make friends

[chonabot]

Great result for S Korea , quite a few of you got the 8 points, Croc still way ahead.

Nongwahyay has traded poor old Sing_Sling in for a new partner Khun Yak

I predict Brit and Sing_Sling to become closer over the next few days...

Still very tight in the middle of the table, about 8 points between 13 and 25th place.

Overall a good days football, see you all here tomorrow.

No it's just the way he walks.

[Sing_Sling]

I've decided to give you guys a head start until the final 16 - - -

I'll walk on in and see you there, gonna give you all a thrill, when you see me commin'

you all step aside

you haven't seen

while I commits my social suicide (from Frank Zappa, of course my apologies for destroying your lyrics)

Edited June 19, 2006 by Sing_Sling

[jackr]

Just a suggestion, Chon; how about everyone from the last 16 on predict scores to the final in one go, as opposed to one at a time? I know a few of us did this in the group stages anyway. Did this in '02, but did the whole tourney in one go and worked alright although a lot tougher. Obviously if a team goes out early then you lose points all the way down, but will still pick up scores for the ones left in. Probably be a closer call if we did it one game, or one round, at a time, although a lot more work for yourself.

Jack , about 90% of us have predicted all of the group stages, including croc.

For the last 16 I really don't mind either way , but as you say , it will be fairer if everyone does it one way or another. Yes it will make my job easier , but it may take the calculating away from the equation.

What does everyone else think ?
