Yahoo has one that requires you to set up a Yahoo account (which you will have if you use Ebay or one of their Groups). It's not active yet and I'm looking for another option. Otherwise there are paid versions.

Will update shortly!

So are we setting up the ASF Fantasy World Cup and Tipping Comp? There was a website we set a league on last World Cup. It was great fun and extremly addictive. I'll see what I can find out if you want.

Cheers

being an avid Red it was great to see Liverpool once again knock the russians out of another cup competition...

and kewel played the at his absolute brilliant best... infact I don't recall ever seeing him play any better... right backs of opposing teams will be shaking in their boots...

amen to that
Even though liverpool have only won 2 out of the last 10 between the 2 teams, it's good to see the mighty reds winning the big games(last years champions league semi and now the fa cup semi).
They can buy the premiership with their 500 million dollar, 50 man deep squad(well not quite that many but you get the point!), but they can't buy themselves the big cup victories! hoorah for knockout competitions!

 

[Rafa]

and they can't buy themselves Rafa the Gaffa!!!

it only takes a few other teams to beat chelsea next years (arsenal, mancs, tottenham, bolton)... and all of a sudden, they are right back in the pack... don't write off that league title just yet...

 

[professor_frink]

not completely writing it off- all of the top players chelsea have sitting on the bench- some will get upset with not playing regularly and leave over the next couple of years. liverpool will be seriously challenging for the title when they get a specialist right midfielder, central defender, and a striker that consistently scores. Combine that with the supercoach and they'll get the title of them!

Damn straight about knock out comps!
1997 the greatest year ever

Dortmund (BVB) beating starstudded Juventus 3-1

I think Man Utd could challenge Chelski if they got rid of Alex Ferguson, don't think he has the tactics anymore to compete against the big teams

 

[professor_frink]

you could put liverpool's victory over ac milan in that category too. Even though I'm a liverpool fan, over the course of a season, I wouldn't give us much chance of staying ahead of them, but in a one off game, anything can happen. Can't say I was too confident down 3-0 at half time but

yeah I think that over time with sir alex running the show, and the current crop of players getting older and older they will become less and less of a force

Hi,

I am looking for a website where I could find the time when the world cup soccer match will start ?

Cheers

 

[professor_frink]

hey fab, here's the first round timetable.

http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/a4fi.pdf

Times are german times, which I think is GMT+2, so add on 8 hours for aussie eastern time. had a look on sbs's world game website, and can't find broadcast times as yet, but they should all be shown live anyway so it doesn't matter.

 

[karmatik]

First game against Japan is on 12th June, 22:30 AEST on SBS.

 

[professor_frink]

IT'S ON FOLKS! :dance: :band

1.30 tom morning first game kicks off folks(according to sbs's website).

Time for a coffee or 10

Think I'm gunna get a taste of wayne's lifestyle over the next few weeks :batman:

 

[dutchie]

predicted results of first five games:

1. Germany to beat Costa Rica

2. Poland to defeat Ecuador

3. England to draw with Paraguay

4. Sweden to draw with Trinadad

5. Argentina to beat Cote d'Ivoire


Time for a coffee.

Cheers

[Rafa]

I'm tipping england to do really well in this one... they have thier best squad for quite a while.... and especially a strongly scouse flavour... in gerrard, carra, crouch and owen (ex red) and rooney (ex blue)

plus add to it beckam, lampard and terry, its not a bad team going around...

only problem is sven!



brrr.... not long to go now...
its getting exciting...

 

[Jay-684]

Dont know who is going to win, but have placed a few bets on (+1 huge Multi).

The Multi has no chance of winning unfortunately... you think?

Here it is

Germany beats Costa Rica
Sweden beats Trinidad
England beats Paraguay
Argentina Beats Ivory coast
Netherlands beats Serbia
Portugal beats Angola
Italy beats Ghana
Brazil beats Croatia
France beats the Swiss
Spain beats Ukraine

its paying $62.... got $15 on so if it pulls off paying $929!!!

Its those damn draws that will bring me undone

btw, I dont follow soccer seriously, so basically bet on the favourites

 

[3 veiws of a secret]

Attention Jay-684
Save your 15 bucks ....it says Spain to beat Ukraine.....I'd think twice about that result!
Also tonights match is normally traditionally a drab draw........I hope it is a draw ,hate those Krauts ,that score in the final minutes!
Italy to win against Ghana....beware!!!!!!.......and the French to beat Swiss......"OOOOOHHHHHH YEAH " Go Louie Armstrong tell them about the Swiss when they played Turkey!

 

[karmatik]

Good start for the Germans last night, dodgy defence though. Surprise result for Equador.

Im still going for an Italy loss against Ghana and Italy not to come through their group.
