How about a moment of silence for Gary Speed, then? 42 year old, Premier League legend, Wales-manager (gave Norway a right spanking a fortnight ago) found after a suicide today. Awful news.

Amen. Absolutely shocked to hear that news. Very sad...
I remember him playing in quite a few teams in the Premier League, and I'm saddened to hear of his passing. I couldn't believe it when I saw the Facebook updates when I got in form work.
Apparently he was on Football Focus, one of the football round-up programmes on Brtish TV, a few hours before his suicide. That makes it all the more shocking and unbelievable.
Rest in peace, Gary Speed.

Yeah, he was talking about how much he was looking forward to the world cup campaign, and how they would do it and so forth. A day later he's taken his own life.
And this is wonderful:

36 games? Good lord, that's lot. I'm going to tip my hat to them, because holy shit.
My team's won four in a row for the first time since October 2008, and here I was feeling good about that.
My mind is blown clean out of me head.

Apparently Lincoln City lost.  Again...
I don't think they have won their last 36 games...

When registering, check the box next to 'Enter a League/Sweep Stake' and choose UFFSite.net in the scroll menu and post here when you join, as I have to authorize everybody who joins the league.

This is back for the Euros, and I made a league for us. Same name (UFFSite.net) and the same registration procedure as above.

Hm, no one? We had seven members two years ago.
I guess the Euros aren't as interesting as the World Cup, but still...

Also, W: There's now an extra prediction for when the first goal in the final is scored, worth six points if you get it right. So remember to fill that in.
