Sonic, I'd rather be cow tipping than in gazebo. We had to shut all of our windows yesterday because a swarm of bees, or wasps, decided that gazebo was a good place to swarm around. From the distance I saw them from I think they were bees. It was ferking boiling.
At least they didn't come back today, well they haven't yet.

Must be because you smell so sweet, sugar.
Or you wear a floral pattern shirt to work.
I'm hoping you smell sweet.
From an aesthetic point of view, clearly.

Bees are clearly stupid. Who the hell wants to swarm around gazebo? Curse their work ethic! They're obviously the Swiss of the insect world. Bastards!

A shocker as Pops isn't the one to rate England lowest. ² has them below the likes of Iran and USA. The little scamp! And Boony rates the convicts higher than teh elth.
Me and s1ugt predictions are frighteningly similar - just I don't share his confidence in the Dutchies. He obviously copied my choices, the ch33ter!

I feel a Boony-esque waste of morning coming on statistically analyzing the whole thing. But I shall content myself with a) Boony's touching faith in T&T (presumably because they have an-ex Man Utd striker in their ranks) means that Togo have the least range among the crappies. b) while the Argies range from 28-32, which given 2002 and their group of death is a bit of a surprise. ( ² messes it up for the Bazilians, who would otherwise be 30-32). c) Serbia & Montenegro have the greatest range from 3 by Boony (!) to 25 by teh Horn (!!) d) In the middle the Geese are the most homogenous 5 people have them at 24 with a 22, 23 and 25 thrown in.

It's a crazy world and no mistaking.
I blame the Dutch.

Ukraine have a fair even spread too, though I think myself and J are the only ones who ranked them above Engerlund.
elth gave Costa Rica 17. Wow.

The fact that you can cut and paste to an ex:cel file makes things easier.

elth gave Costa Rica 17. Wow. I think they have a decent chance of getting a couple of wins and getting into the second round. Were it not for the fact that you had to redo the whole thing I would have bumped them up higher.

Everybody else seems to have way more faith in the Dutch and the Italians than I do.
Portugal's a weird one.

I'm a bit worried about Italy actually. I don't actually think they'll make the semi-finals but something compelled me to make them 31 anyway. Dunno why. Probably because I'm thick. I have misgivings about Poland and Argentina as well now I think about it.

I really do have a sneak for the Argies, but as usual the Brazilians have been impeccable in pre-tournament form.
I think there will be some surprises, I just hope they're nice ones and not cheating ones like last time out. Ecuadorian refs and all that.

Post by Moo on Jun 9, 2006 11:04:23 GMT
Italy have a good chance of getting three win in their group and a win against whoever pops up 2nd in Brazil's group, that was my thinking. I really don't know how many wins there will be in the Argentina/Holland group, which is why I have Italy higher.
Or have I said too much?

Aye. More Czechesque and less Greecesque surprises would be nice.

Quite.
That sounds a bit technical, Moo. I didn't look at the groups. In fact, I was probably going on form in my head from 1990.
Where are Cameroon, anyway?
Makes me wanna............ I dunno... play something.
My PES4 tournament doesn't count as I couldn't be arsed sitting and typing in Togo and Angola and Ghana.... so it don't quite work.

Indeed. All this football talk is going to get me playing FM if I'm not careful. I fancy having another crack with Ivory Coast actually.

s1ut only did it because he was horrifically bored. You'd never have that much spare time, Narkle, even at gazebo.
