    20 on Portugal
    30 on Chile
    5 on a draw between Spain and Honduras... If they play the way they did in the last game then i dont expect Spain to win!

    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Spain will be awesome tonight against lowly Honduras, they are going to play 4-4-2 and come out attacking, expect a magic display of football just like Brazil last night. I thought Brazil looked outstanding, strong at the back and brilliant going forward - still my favourites to win - I hope you took advantage of the free betting account money I posted before, £100's coming my way, he, he...

    If I only had some Lit Net credits though, I could double my credits tonight with no worries, easy. Anybody want to lend me some credit and I can secure their loan again my payday on Friday? That will give you a 50% risk free profit to be paid by the end of the game or by Friday at the latest.

    Come on lend an old boy a few credits, someone...anyone...Scher? Kilted?

    I was under the impression that everyone on the Forum read each and every single one of my posts with utmost dedication!



    Here's the story in quotes:

    Instead we could go the good old western capitalist route and go into debt. so I would be -14 Hardy's at the moment.

    Edit: Or she could put us to work for those 50 coins. I'd be willing to clean up around here.

So, those who are still in the game would get their reward and those who are out get a chance to rejoin.
    So, before Saturday's games, everyone will be issued 100 extra Shaws.


    Neely> Go and open a bottle of Belgian or read some Wilde. You can do this. No more betting for you here till Saturday.

    Excellent first half.

    N.Korea is playing so well (admittedly they are not as good as their first match).

    I am constantly in awe of these lesser known teams and am hoping that in future tournaments, they will make their presence felt even more.

    Ha, ha, not true, I have all my addictions under control, I am much more careful with real money and I have only gone through about 48 bottles of Stella last week. Don't worry, I've been and got another 3 crates so I have plenty stocked up in the Kitchen.

    Strange business.

    Some really deluded types here think we can maybe draw with Paraguay as well in our group, which has raised the thought of what happens in a group if teams end on identical points.

    Turns out, some official draws a name out of a hat!

    I find that unbelievable.

    A team could easily work for four years, fight for three points, only to be told they go home because some bloke who probably never played the game eliminated them on a coin toss!
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."
