Nathan your in the USA correct ?

If so won't most / all bookies ban you from joining ?

I'm not sure IF it's still the case but I think a while ago Bodog used to accept players from America  

I have no idea IF that's still so, in which case the above is as much use as Gizmo explaining "how" he wins.....

I love wog ball!

My picks for day 1...

South Africa v Mexico 0:1
Uruguay v France 1:2

Everybody says that (especially in media), maybe it's some trick. I think France can make it to the 1/4 finals. Their group is relatively easy. Same with their potential 1/8 finals opponents (Greece, Korea, Nigeria or Argentina -- but both ARG and FRA will try to avoid facing each other). So basically France could be the big surprise...

This has nothing to do with the world cup, just a little soccer story from my younger years that I've been dying to tell someone...ANYONE!

So I used to play soccer "football" for many years from the age of 6 into my mid 20's.

This one team I played on the left wing with for three years was outstanding, winning all three premierships, and going one year undefeated.

In the third and final premiership year of that team's existence we played a game late in the season against the bottom placed team of the competition.

Our goalkeeper was not able to attend, so, I being the reserve goaly took his place. The contest was a rout; for almost the entire game our poor opponents had failed to get the ball even past the half way line! The score with 10 minute remaining was 17 to nil.

At this point, bored out of my mind, and to pass the time building a sand castle under the goal posts I ran from the field and questioned the officials as to whether a goalkeeper was legally allowed to leave his goal and join the attacking team. I was told there was no rule that forbade a goalkeeper to advance up the field, so I ran back on and joined my team mates on the field.

Ten minutes later the final whistle blew and we were victorious with a score line of 21 to nil.

For those final 10 minutes my team mates kept calling, "give it to the goaly, give it to the goaly!"

I scored the final four goals wearing the number 1 jersey!... Hahahahaha!... must be some kind of record!

Thanks guys, I just had to tell someone.

LOL, bombus!

Your opponents should've been stones and trees?!

[Bruce]

Wrong already 

[Noble Savage]

South Africa 1-1 Mexico

Score!

Now let's see how France will do.

[L4KNG]

Well, It's been a good day! Mainly because I don't have to be N6's b***h!

I had both games today, being under 2. 5 goals.

Next picks are:

Algeria vs Slovenia, under 2. 5.

Netherlands vs Denmark, under 2. 5.

Brazil vs North Korea, over 2. 5.

Much love.

[bombus]

South Korea v Greece 0:1
Argentina v Nigeria 1:0
England v United States 2:0

[Number Six]

Well, It's been a good day! Mainly because I don't have to be N6's b***h!

Everyone here is my b***h, even Spike

Closer than you thought, though, right? Forlan will win the group for URUGAY. Everyone knows France are a joke side. Domenech is more interested in the positions of the stars than he is in the positions of his players. In fact, he bases his first XI on the entrails of Parisian rats.

Day 2:
South Korea 0-2 Greece
Argentina 2-0 Nigeria

Oh, yes, England...

3-0 win, I won't be holding my breath for Heskey scoring
