Actually, since, AFAICS, the 2nd game isn't until September 3, I guess we all can agree without problem to extend the deadline to September 2? Even Aggie. I mean, no offense Estonians and Faroeians, but I guess Estonia-Faroe Islands won't really have so much impact in the end. And if it does, then SO BE IT and congrats to either of them to their greatest achievement ever. It's up to us who've already joined. Of course, in all fairness, we are allowed to change our respective entries until September 2. OK? -- Manchester United FC Champions latest: England/2009, UEFA/2008, World/2009

The nice feature of the sophisticated prediction contest is that it can really start at any point in the course of a competition, and it would still be interesting. D

It seems to me ou could pretty well put in 1 and 0 for most of the teams. |
