Board Fantasy World Cup
 

hey, I created a fantasy world cup group for anyone from the board who's interested.

it's at http://en.fifaworldcup.fantasysports.yahoo.com/
I can't figure out how to add people to it without doing it manually by adding each person by their yahoo id (can be set up and registered in 5 minutes) so if you wanna play post your yahoo id here and i'll add you


ahh right, the group number is 17686
and the group password is ratherripped

Ah, cool. I'm going to join in. What does the winner get?

I'll have to get a 'yahoo id'. But it's impossible to do, as every single possible combination of letters and numbers appears to have been taken.

Damn Yahoo ID's...EVERYTHING is already taken.

On a related note, the US is up 1-0 on Latvia thanks to a great header from McBride. Second half is about to start....

the winner gets the sense of enormous wellbeing for winning the sy league, the main league for everyone, i dunno what the prize is there

So...you have to add us, right? Cause I can't find said group anywhere. By accident I joined a different group, and the players left to pick are Togo and Saudi Arabia players. AHAH.

i just sent you an email invite

I'm from America. What is the...World...Cup?

I'm from America too. The World Cup is only the biggest sporting event on the planet.

I know. Just satirizing my country's lack of interest in the world. Maybe it's just here, but I only hear about the Lakers and Yankees until the Olympics. Sad. I don't watch soccer, but only because I don't watch much sports at all.

Oh, right. I knew that.

this is a pretty funny pisstake of american soccer coverage

64 min: GOAL Mexico 0 - 2 USA. Two soccer points to no score! Eddie Lewis makes a cross-pitch play from the left zone, finding Landon Donovan alone in the danger area. He top-bodies the sphere into the score bag, and Mexico have a double-negative stat!

Didn't quite read the whole thing, but that was funny.

89 min: The US are closing this one out. Their fans - and there are plenty in the stadium - have started to sing. Altogether now: Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd, Buy me some peanuts and Crackerjacks, I don't care if I never never get back, Let me root, root root for the home team, If they don't win it's a shame, For it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game!

There is actually a commercial they are playing here that plays this song to highlights of the national team.

EDIT: The game they describe was quite the occasion.

this sucks! we need more than just 2 people!

No shit.

Ha ha! I found a yahoo id - and it congratulated me, which seems appropriate.

Join in, people of the board!
