I'm not sure whether to celebrate getting my first four points, or to grumble about the fact that it probably would have been six if the 
ing ref hadn't given Spain an iffy penalty in the 87th minute... 
Ah well. Four points! It's a start!

I know the feeling I was on a five pointer there. And I to put up with some very funny looks in the pub when I started cheering the Slovenian goal.

I see the slide down the table has already started for me.
Deja vu all over again 
GROUP STAGE ROUND ONE
egon Posted Jun 4, 2002
Yeah, but I'm bottom- I've been in the top three both season's so far. I will at least be saved from bottom after the US-Portugal match, if only by virtue of rounding spook's points down.

Great Western Lettuce (no.51) Just cut down the fags instead Posted Jun 5, 2002
Typical.
Have a great week of predictions and don't get the second weeks in on time.
Still, should enjoy the moment while it lasts then.
*Hopes for loads of boring 0-0 draws*
