    I was thinking today, If Brazil and Argentina don't make it past the next round how many peoples teams will be foobard.

    I have planed it to have enough subs if both get to the final, but only them.:eek:


    Sorry everyone, I wont say imagine Holland and Spain not making the final :) (as their is third place)

    So is your team totally wrecked now really? I still have an Italian in mine, along with two Paraguayans, two Argentines, two Brazilians... I'm hoping that now the lower goal scoring teams are out I can leave my defenders more or less as is and sub elsewhere, making sure I've got good players up front and the best players to make assists. However I remain hamstrung by the fact that I only pick good looking players and the pool of talent is rapidly diminishing.

    No it's ok I have just put another Dutch player in, I have three subs left.

    I have 3 Spanish,3 Holland and 1 german so I will have 10 players still playing for the last games after doing my next round of subs..

    Think I will keep my Argentine goaly he should be OK for not letting any more in. :)

    World Cup made of cocaine seized in Columbia:

    I love this story. I'm not going to post an extract because it deserves to be read, so that you too can see what a world cup made out of cocaine actually looks like. The bit about the submarine (not world cup related) is quite scary too.

    Forgot about this one..... just as well... as of Thursday my Sun team consisted of 4 Argies.... and Suarez.... :o

    As for -(us)- *cringe*, I take it back about it being Capellos fault. I've changed my mind about getting rid of him. I now think we should get rid of him AND most of the team. (The latest rumour/excuse is Gerrard was not as effective as he could have been as captain as he was a tad preoccupied trying to gain an gag/injunction against a former teammates teen daughter?!)

    Get shot of all of them (kisses to James tho xxx). New team under 25s only. Wenger as manager. Yeah, I know, dream on :-)

    My aim is Top 5, if that fails, Top 10 would be nice, but the absolute minimum is to finish in front of lemonjelly :D
