I would, but there's no way I have the attention span to keep it going beyond the first one or two games.

Stop doing the bud for a month.

There'd be spin-off benefits.

Why is this so difficult?

Day one:

SA vs Mexico
Uruguay vs France.

Both 1-1 draws as ever on the first day.

That was it! You are right it was fingers.....

The radio station said that was not uncommon among farmers in Canada. They made several jokes (unfunny) about it. Ironically I was listening to this whilst on the Gardiner going past Jameson this morning.

Awful radio + bad traffic= depression.

Yes I think Alan2005 was due to give us all a solid commitment to be the facilitator of this World Cup Predictor competition.

He has my vote.

I wouldn't vote for me. Honestly, I'll screw it up. That premiership thread has loads of posters on it - one of them must love footie stats enough to have a go.
