Delightful!
:p
I say draw as well. Four coins/gogles.
I picked Ivory Coast to win this thing, but I want to point out that I had accidentally picked Cameroon before that. Since Drogba got injured, I was thinking that it would be good to actually go with Cameroon--but I'm not going to do that, because it wouldn't be classy, and I already made Scher mess around to fix things for me once already. (Plus it looks like Drogba might play.) However, I just want to point out that I think Cameroon would be a pick I really would want to make, in theory.
Also, I'm putting 100 munstucks on Mexico to win the first game.

Hey, is this a good symbol for munstucks?
ɷ
As in, "100ɷ on Mexico!"
or maybe this would be a more conservative choice:
ℳ
(I actually thought that "Forum coins" had a whiff of the Colosseum about it, so I would've been fine with that. Anyhow, I see nothing to be gained by supporting Mark on the terminology thing.)
I shall bet 50 of my precious FoGoMuns on Mexico, Thus condeming them to a humiliating defeat.
Feel it, it is here!!!!!!!
WHOOP WHOOP!!!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
I bet 20 muntstukke (coins in Afrikaans...) that South Africa wins *please God*...
Well, Turquoise, that is surprisingly hard to research on the internet (in English, anyhow). There is something called the Rand that I can get info more easily on... Anyhow, what is the symbol for "muntstukke"? And what is it?
Well you see...our currency is called Rand and we use it like: R5.00. The word 'muntstukke' is the Afrikaans word for 'coins'. So 'muntstukke' is not our currency, but I used it in my bet because Sche decided on muntstuks. "Muntstuks" sound weird to me though because I'm familiar with 'muntstukke' :DQuote:

So, the bets so far:
Scher: Draw (2 muntstukke)
Paul : Mexico (3 muntstukke)
Mark: Mexico (70 muntstukke)
Virgil: Draw (4 muntstukke)
Bill: Mexico (100 muntstukke)
Pren: Mexico (50 muntstukke)
Turquoise: SA (20 muntstukke)
Great idea. I actually like Gogols too. Are we betting just on the games then, not on group winners, outright winners etc, probably best as it could get messy (seeing as I have got numerous bets, side bets, fantasy football events which I am running and other stuff). So my first Gogol bets on the openers are:
1 Mexico win 10G. (Lots and lots of buzz about this match on the betting forums, many saying it is the bet ot the tournament, though for me still a chance of a draw with home advantage for SA hence the smaller stake.)
2 Uruguay/France draw 3G. (Again lots of speculation, much of it saying Uruguay are major value, but I wouldn't discount France, draw seems safest option.)
Just 2 hours 10 minutes left.:party::willy_nilly:
Enjoy!!!
