As a Leicester fan, I agree that Keller's a fantastic keeper. I was sorry (but not surprised) when he left us.

I think that the US team has been given lower prices *not* because the players are worse, but because the odds suggest that they are unlikely to progress to the second round. I'm not so sure. Group E is, I reckon, the Group of Death. I can see any of the four teams getting through.

So I wouldn't be annoyed with his price. See it as a bargain.

As for European bias, I think the prices are more South American-centric than anything else. Argentina's No 1 keeper is most expensive at 7.0 and then their number 2 is 3rd= at 6.5, and their third 12th=at 6.0. Shurely shome mishtake?

Thanks Chris, will add spice in between the scans and xrays. You shouldn't make fun of North Londoners though. I know they're poor, what with the mortgages and the price of skinny lattes, but you don't need to rub it in so often.
Resisted the temptation to choose unfiction names like wicky and babel, or try to make a team of ex derby county players. In the end it came down to excluding brazilians. You see we know how to manage budgets in yorkshire. Oh the NHS you say. Don't worry we'll always bail you out.
Once gave someone a few wedding present albums for his wedding present. Think he would have preferred the fondue set.

I joined in. For the fun of it. To bad I can't win anything. Fooey.

Needless to say, I hope the Umpires do well.

Klose as captain - SCORE! Wink

EDIT - mind you, I have a Polish defender. Pooh. (thus far) Sad

He got a brace as well. I'd be suprised if you weren't the early front runner-despite one of them gettign a goal for me, I'm a bit worried about having two German defenders. They looked a bit shakey.

Poland were terrible.

I think I should change the title of this thread.

Poland were shocking. And Germany seem to be the complete opposite of their usual setup - fairly tasty going forward, and really badly organised at the back.

I'm second? Geez folks - do you guys not know ANYTHING about football?! I've never even heard of any of my team.

OK, it may be more to do with having had a german on the front line more than anything else. Smile
