    Sorry for shouting but I need to get everyone's attention.
    SO! The draw has been made......four groups of five with, sadly, Dai and Taff missing. However, should they appear, I will give up my place and see if someone else is not getting involved.

    Group A
    Barry Tiger

    Group B

    Ninian Opinion

    I have a set of eight games to predict with the first one on next Friday to give all time to think it through.

    Top two in each group to go through to an eight-team knockout.
    Six points per match available....
    2 for correct result, 4 for correct score and one point each for a scorer from both teams. You are allowed to predict nil and keep this as a scorer or to predict nil but put a scorer in anyway. But if you put a scorer, then the nil doesn't register a point.

    All clear? Fele free to put any questions.

    GOOD LUCK ALL!!!!!

    Friday 25-Nov Netherlands Ecuador

    Saturday 26-Nov Tunisia Australia

    Sunday 27-Nov Spain Germany

    Monday 28-Nov Protugal Uruguay

    Tuesday 29-Nov Wales England

    Wednesday 30-Nov Poland Argentina

    I'll put up a thread for each game tomorrow but if Sparkey would prefer everything to be on one thread, then we'll have to manage.

    Now I don't want to be a nag... but there are not many predictions yet for Friday. Sparkey, can you please make this a sticky and the various prediction threads as they appear. Then unstick them when the game starts?

    Forgive me if I'm being a bit thick here, but how can you predict a scorer when you've got a country not to score? :emoticon-0138-think

    Waiting to see the results of a few games before predicting. Might change my opinion on performance.

    Actually you can. I've allowed it. Feel free to predict nil but have a scorer. When scorer selected if its actually nil you get no scorer point.
