Yep we got a really good draw there!

Looking forward to teaching the colonies a lesson in our opening game, hehehe.

Hey guys ...

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this yet, but someone should fire off a U2U to staff and see if they'll put up a WC bracket contest.

I think that would be a hoot.






HELLAS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a World Cup bracket contest?

reply to post by Kram09


Oh, basically a contest for members on picking world cup games ... we do this kind of thin for the college basketball tournament.

A way for all of us to follow the WC, pick games, and win some fabulous prices.

reply to post by Kram09


Maybe he means like a sweep type thing, everyone gets assigned one country, that would be good.
edit: just seen above post, so like a tipping contest would be good too, should do both.

Im uninspired by the draw, Australia have a tough group but can get out of it only to face ingerland or the U.S
I wanted Algeria and Italy in our group, oh well.
