"SR FIFA 2004 - PREDICTION TOURNAMENT - ROUND 2, GAME 1 (place up for grabs!)"

First, a quick announcement. ‘Swander’ hasn’t predicted for 3 games in a row so his team will be given away. You cannot choose your team, you have to get his team, Manchester United. If you want his team (Manchester United) then apply for it. It is first come, first served. SORRY, BUT 'WEIRD GUY' GOT HIS PLACE.
The other people who have missed matches are Mav (has missed 2). If you miss the next match then you will be out of the tournament.

Another quick announcement: Some people are only predicting every three games so I am going to change a rule. If you miss TWO games in a row from now, you will be out of the tournament. Sorry, but it is quite annoying that someone has 200 more points than someone else because the other person has missed a few games. Thank you.

The draw for Round Two of the SR PREDICTIONS LEAGUE was made today, it is as follows:

Athletico De Madrid (Wakka) .v. Real Madrid (Forest Fan)
Tottenham Hotspur (Mav) .v. Bayern Munich (Chris)
Inter Milan (Slice) .v. Newcastle United (THE MADMAN)
Chelsea (Squall) .v. Liverpool (Georgio)
Juventus (Biggie Little) .v. AC Milan (Bagz)
Manchester United (Weird Guy) .v. Leicester City (KR)

The next game to be played is Athletico De Madrid v Real Madrid. It will take place on Saturday, the 22nd of May at 7.30. You have to get your predictions in by 7.00 on Saturday. Good luck everyone.

The current Prediction Table looks like this:

1. Wakka - 380
2. Biggie Little - 350
3. Forest Fan - 280
4. THE MADMAN - 250
5. Squall - 245
6. Chris - 190
7. KR - 150
8. Slice - 140
9. Mav - 130
10. Bagz - 125
11. Georgio - 65
12. Weird Guy - 60

Forest Fan gets a bonus 15 points because his team won. Forest Fan and Chris both get a bonus 10 points each because their teams were playing. Chris gets a bonus 20 points for predicting in five games so far. I am also giving Biggie Little a massive bonus of 70 points for getting the most points for two weeks in a row! Well Done!

I'm busy with GCSEs and stuff, but I'll try to predict often enough to not miss three games in a row.

If you had read the post, you would have noticed that it is now 'two games in a row' instead of three.

You might want to change that as it is actually impossible.

Harsh one.
