I need more discipline. :) However, I can at least say that I haven't won, can't I? ;) -- Cheers milivella

I need more discipline. :) However, I can at least say > that I haven't won, can't I? ;) After I posted that, I wondered if you had seen the Spain entries (off the top of my head MH has one) and knew that one of the obvious choices wasn't starting (hadn't made the final 23 or is injured). Has Futbolmetrix's impressive entry won? I haven't won, either!

Has > Futbolmetrix's impressive entry won? You're overrating me! I've just seen Brazil's starting XI: "1, 2, 3... 11. Odd, they don't use tournament numbers... Wait, these are their tournament numbers, and Dunga gave the numbers 1-11 to the ones he wanted to start the first match!" After some 30 minutes of processing (I know, I should buy a faster milivella processor), a bell rang: hey, but Daniele predicted Dunga to start the players #1 to #11. So he has just scored 11 points in the contest. You can't beat 11. So he won! [1] So, as you can see from many passages in this mental flow: I'm just dumb. [1] I'm skipping the swearing part: once I score a respectable score - a double 10 indeed -, Futbolmetrix takes the trophy with a perfect performance! Football sucks, etc. -- Cheers milivella |
