Re: C4C Fantasy Football
True. Italy-England has 0-0 written all over it, and England-Costa Rica could easily be a boring 1-0 or something. Probably a goal from a corner knowing England, so fair enough!

Re: C4C Fantasy Football
Just done mine. I don't get the Brazil-Mexico game being in the first round of fixtures, but it certainly makes the tactics of the transition between weeks 1 and 2 more interesting as everyone rushes to drop all their Brazilian players.

Re: Who Will Win Series 70? (Spoilers Included)
I think I'll go with Mark. Better all-round game, although Neil and Samir have been really good on letters. Andy was good too, but less consistent than those three. I'd be very surprised if the semi-finals weren't those four. It could very well even be a repeat of S68 with all the results going acco...

Re: Spoilers For Bank Holiday Monday May 5th 2014
Cracking game today. I really thought Neil would win even when he was 10 down going into the conundrum(s).
Really though there's so many people that got to 6 wins, what is up with that? Neil is the highest scoring of the four people on six wins though, so I fully expect to see him in the finals.

Awesome show today, to me it had the feel of a quarter- or semi-final.
Shame that C2 ran into a good player playing well, because he is about the third or fourth contestant this series that is probably capable of winning eight games but has lost their first game. Shame really.

What a game. Great way to make your debut and keep your cool against a strong performance. Bobby might be regretting not practising his numbers in advance of his run because he was right on top of the letters games.
