[Locutus]

Nice last-minute rush: 31 players at kick-off, with Weik in the lead for the moment as the only one to predict 0-0 for the opening match

 

[Locutus]

Final score of the opening match: 1-1. Well done, azzaman :b:

 

[azzaman333]

Oh yeah.

 

[BirraImperial]

Damn you Mexico, just lost my first prediction.

 

[warpus]

Woohoo 6th, not bad so far

 

[Locutus]

Wow, what a snoozefest, this group is shaping up to be every bit as poor as it was expected to be... Congrats to Loppan Torkel for getting it right though

Two draws today, no one saw that coming. Net result: a lot of people sharing first place and a WHOLE lot of people with no points at all yet. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more productive.

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Someone actually picked Serbia and Korea?

Someone actually picked Serbia and Korea?

And Park Ji-Sung! And for that matter...Lukas Podolski? He's lazy now that he's linked up with Koln. Nowhere near what we'd thought he'd be.
