    I'd see Ivory Coast take it 2-1. Love their pacey attacking outfit!

    Better than my prediction for Spain to win :pac:

    For today, I'll say...

    Ecuador 2 - 1 Switzerland
    France 2 - 0 Honduras
    Argentina 4 - 0 Boznia & Herzegovina

    hmmm Switzerland ranked officially as 6th while Equador are 26th, but does it mean anything really? (especially seeing as England are ranked 10th :D)

    The poll confuses me.

    71.99% + 14.46% + 13.86% + 11.45% = 111.76%

    :confused:

    Yeah, The poll is multiple choice so I think you are right.

    The way the percentages in multiple choice works is that is that it's the percentage of people who voted, that voted for that particular option. So it will never add to 100%.

    I don't much remember posting in this thread last night :o

    Oh right, I forgot it was multi choice, thought it was just single choice when I voted. Maybe it was. It all makes sense now.

    There is a chance that The World Cup and the UWFC Trophy could be unified this year, if either Costa Rica retain it thorough the group, or if Italy or England win it and qualify for the next round. There has been ocassions though were this has not happened, where a team knocked out in the first round of the World Cup and maybe the Euros has won the Trophy due and retained it due to the nature of the tables in the first round.

    The Swiss seem devoid of imagination, but at least they keep their part of the pitch spotless. :)

    Equador nearly had it at the end only for the Swiss to break their hearts!

    Terrific final 2 mins after a fairly forgettable game.

    They said the playing of the anthems has been scrapped due to popular demand
