Gdgd a nice 3-1 win over Iran for me go one you Mexicans!!!

[The Slickman]

Germany won .. even though im trying hard to support them its just not happening.

[Green Demon]

Wasnt able to see the Holland game cause of me sleeping but I am glad to see that they won.

[Big Red Fury]

Woo go Portugal >_>

[Summers]

France FTW

[Turbo Yannis]

Fucking Japs.

Fucking useless Japs

[Guest muddatrucker]

Togo, fucking togo!

[The Kraig]

Fuck. You. No way did I draw Tunisia.

Meh, they can still beat Saudi Arabia and Ukraine. THERE IS HOPE YET~!

[AJ]

I predict that Ando Solo and I will be following Slickman’s Germany through to the knockout stages after England’s convincing 13-0 battering of Trinidad and Tobago later on >_> If Sweden and Paraguay draw then we go through on top of the group as well. I think Sweden will win that game though. Plus Costa Rica will lose to Ecuador.

I predict a tough battle, but a comfortable win margin for our lads this afternoon. As well as a Rooney cameo.

Spain don't look too bad of a pick.

I got England in a sweepstake somewhere else, so I'm pretty happy with both of then.

I love actually predicting something right for once. I also predicted 2-0 in the WC thread, as well as on that prediction game.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Freakishly, I managed to get Argentina in both this and another stake I'm doing. £4 to enter = £128 if the Argies win, and bragging rights here.

[alldaws1]

Paulo Wanchope sucks >_>

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

Yey for Ghana, I knew you could do it boys.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Shall we see how we're getting on? (Y)

Group A

After 2 Games...

1.

Small Red - played 2 - won 2 - goal diff +5 - 6pts

2.

The Slickman - played 2 - won 2 - goal diff +3 - 6pts

3.

kulex - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -3 - 0pts

4.

alldawson - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -5 - 0pts

Well this one is all done and dusted apart from who will actually end up as winners of this group. Ecuador and Small Red have been a slight surprise despite their South American form while Germany and the Slickman still don't look settled into their World Cup. Hard luck for Poland and kulex who on another day and another competition could have made it through, Costa Rica and alldawson also gave it their best - and will certainly be remembered for the opening day antics against the Germans. Small Red and the Slickman will be advancing here.

Group B

After 2 Games...

1.

AJ and Ando Solo - played 2 - won 2 - goal diff +3 - 6pts

2.

Eddie G - played 2 - won 1 - goal diff +1 - 4pts

3.

Michael - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -2 - 1pt

4.

Jam - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -2 - 0pts

England alongside AJ and Ando Solo have seen themselves have a rocky start - but still manage to gain maximum points so far and a spot in the next round. The other place in the next round will either go to Eddie G's Sweden or Michael's Trinidad and Tobego - both who stand a good chance going into the last group games. It's all over though for Paraguay and Jam who after two losses to Sweden and England are out.

Group C

After 2 Games...

1.

Be - played 2 - won 2 - goal diff +7 - 6pts

2.

Green Demon - played 2 - won 2 - goal diff +2 - 6pts

3.

TMN - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -2 - 0pts

4.

lafunky xxvii - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -7 - 0pts

Group C is the second group from three that is already wrapped up before the last ties. However the epic battle between Argentina and Holland for the top spot will be huge, and will see Be and Green Demon's teams battle in what is destined to be an excellent encounter. Unfortunatly it's already all over for TMN's Ivory Coast who in another group could have had a much better chance of getting through. The same goes for lafunky xxviii and Serbia & Montenegro who in another group could have possibly done better.

Group D

After 2 Games...

1.

What Would Jesus Do? - played 2 - won 2 - goal diff +3 - 6pts

2.

Chazmus - played 2 - won 1 - goal diff +2 - 4pts

3.

Lost Soul & The Ace - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -1 - 1pt

4.

IAceI - played 2 - won 0 - goal diff -4 - 0pts

Group D is like Group B in that one of two sides can join the group leaders in going through. In this case though WWJD's Portugal are the ones topping the table - and already through, while Chazmus' Mexico and Angola with Lost Soul and the Ace both have a chance at making the next phase. Mexico have got the more difficult task of having to go up against Portugal next, while Angola have the already eliminated Iran and IAceI. This could be another tricky one to call, but both teams will be up for it.
