done

i like this predictor thing, atari, gonna check my results throughout the tournament

This is starting to pick up speed. Great!

according to me it'll be an argentina vs brazil final

Let us hope you are wrong.

Yeah, holland or spain for the cup

board fantasy world cup, sounds fun.

i'll join if i can find out how it works... when do entries close? right before the start of the whole thing?

Points start when the world cup starts.

There's four of us at the moment, so more would be cool! It's pretty straightforward - but pm johnnywinternoshow with your email, as he has to invite you to the group, I think.

My team is Eternal, by the way, and I'm hip54129. It's gonna be fun keeping track of a board league, so more people should join.

yes, i can't wait for the tournament to start. but i'll need some time to think about my team. it's difficult to choose if you want to keep up to date with injuries/form loss/starting line-ups, etc... for instance i still find it hard to believe that argentina has better defenders that allow them to leave zanetti and samuel at home.

You can always leave a few places vacant, and you're allowed a couple of transfers.

Also, it looks like you pick a whole new squad after the group games, from the teams left in.

I've got my starters if it were an all-star game




I guess one needs to pick players from the teams that are playing in "upcoming matches" before those games start to get the most points. I'm confused about one thing though which is why one has to choose a group such as "Fans of (whatever the country)" is. I chose Italy. Was I supposed to choose to be a Fan of Other Country which is an option in the drop-down menu & have that lead me to be able to put in some group ID? I'm guessing not, but I suppose we'll have a page to go to where all the members of the group can compare their results like in NFL Fantasy Football.

We've got the same goalie and striker, Atari.

I was also wondering, it seems we all have the 4-4-2 formation. Is there a way to change it? Ataris team would look potent with a smaller midfield.

you guys have some football skills..
how unusual is that, coming from two americans?

I've got 4-3-3. To change, you just pick a different ratio of players/positions (ie I picked 4 defenders, 3 midfielders and 3 forwards - that automatically becomes 4-3-3)

Good to see more people in our league. Hello guys.
