    Netherlands for me, so. Can't analyse to save my life, but can comment, right or wrong! :D Himself says now that I've picked them, I've put a curse on them!

    Brazil or Germany for me. Neither have shown their real capabilities (yet) but given home advantage I'll stick with the host nation.

    Right, so that's 6 teams taken care of.

    So for tonight we need someone to take on Muffler, and to represent Chile at 5pm

    Then at 9pm we have both Columbia, and Uruguay available.

    Here's Mark Lawrenson's predictions to help with your choices

    Howard Webb, May not make it off the field, if that disallowed goal, from Hulk, makes a difference.

    Might be. We got distracted by Sky Arts1, they had The Shadows farewell tour on, luvvely! Ten years ago now though so they will have a few more grey hairs at this stage. Who won the match then? :o

    The heat is bad for us Dutch, we seem to be faffing about a bit. I wish they'd attack, attack, attack, a wee bit more. Also seems to be a couple of can can dancers there, with high kicks!! :(

    Well, we hid our light under a bushel for the first half but played a much better second half. The Mexicans came out all barrels blazing from start to finish, and I have to bow to them, they were the better side. Still, my side won! WOO-HOO! The penno was deserved, but not as deserved as it was made to look! My analysis is over. Leave me out of the next lot. I can't take the tension. :eek:

    Great way to win (penalty in the 94th min) but an awful way to lose.

    Have to agree with you there Rube. I'm sorry Mexico are out, they deserve to be there, rotten luck. Wish I had put money on me own team now! :)

    That was exciting.

    Right we have a few teams in need of support,
    Tonight's 9 pm game is CRC v GRE, any takers

    Tomorrow we have, FRAv NGA, anyone?

    Then it's the big one, me v layinghen at 5pm

    But the way, after the footie last night I switched over to Glastonbury, on BBC.

    Metalica, absolutely nailed it, great rendition of " Whiskey in the jar " for example. Brilliant.

    Think tonight it's Dolly Parton, might give it a miss.

    Yes indeed something to look forward to.

    Unfortunately no libations for me as I cheer on my Argentinian friends as I have been in hospital since last week. Maybe I'll get them to put a little something extra in the drip :p

    Thankfully I have a nice room to myself with my own telly so I can cheer away to my hearts content.

    Wonder would they allow stick a few posters of Messi up on the wall?

    OK so in an attempt to fill in the remaining available Supporter Places

    and in the light of the obvious success of this Thread, being on the 5th page so far,

    I think the Moderators, ( who despite their disinterest, I think are keeping a sneaky eye on us ) should pick a Team, each, if for no other reason than to take one for the Team, should their pick be rubbish.
