h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Cracking goal. My mate texted me asking why Shaun Derry was scoring goals gor Germany though....

to bubba-fretts for being the only one of us to foresee Ecuador's triumph.

Oh! nice one Bubba....

I tell you, I'm not going to predict 1-0 England wins if they're this difficult to watch.

B

Ifanku.

So it's all off to a clean start. England play well for 45 minutes and then go to sleep after the half-time tea-break. So all's well with the world then.

There've been a good load of points awarded, mainly helped out by the 4 folk who got a full house with the Argentina game. I don't think I've ever seen so many get a full house on the same result. So well done you.

And to the winners. The names in first place have a certain familiarity about them. Riotact plus the usual early starter, summerbayexile. Good work chaps

Germany 4-1 Costa Rica (LAHM, Wanchope, Klose, Frings)

I hate to say it, but I think you've awarded me too meny points here mate, have another look....

I'll have any that are going spare.

B

Yes Bottletop, it seems that I have. I also ballsed up the results listing for you as well. Sorry.

It should be 7 points, and should read: (Germany result & scorer; England result; Argentina result)



B, I think you know my answer here, so lets walk on by...

Do I not get a point for Delgado scoring in Poland-Ecuador?

Bottletop: I hate to say it, but I think you've awarded me too meny points here mate, have another look....

now THAT'S sporting!

Not really, if (and it's a big if)I should win the Jules Rimet Mousemat by two points, and knowing the hand of Greydesk had awarded me three in error, I wouldn't feel very good about it......anyway, it's only a birafun init
