The ball is rolling... Yay!

Nice stuff EAisticle! Other newcomers (and veterans to the game) pay heed to that! Looking good!

And oh my the Underground... (I just can't switch off the image of David Beckham trying to pose as Sauron from my mind anymore.)


All you who have already submitted your teams, remember you have the right to change everyone not only until the friendlies are over (when we start counting points for real) but also to the second round of group-play. So take your time and watch the friendlies work out and make your decisions when you feel you're fine with them.

tp: I suppose one can also change one's overall predictions (most goals, most assists, group winners etc.) before the first actual round begins?


X'd with phantom...

Hmmn... I believe I'll wait until the friendlies are over. The inclusion of the "Downer" team does complicate matters...

The "Downer" team are all featured in the newspaper, right? I'm not very familiar with them.

I'm also waiting to do my team/predictions until after the friendlies.
