The Beautiful Game.

World Cup 2006 Germany is only two days away and I have to say my anticipation is heightening.  There really isn't all that much one can say before a competition such as this except, roll on Friday.

There is only one thing that makes the World Cup better, apart from drinking beer and being surrounded by other people drinking beer, and that's having a Fantasy Football League.  It's like gambling in that it heightens an already great game, and doesn't have the drawbacks of dipping into the kids' university fund or robbing your mother-in-law.

If you haven't already, make up your fantasy football team here, you have less than two days to do so.  If you win, you could earn yourself £10,000, but it's not about the money.  While you're at it, if you do make up a team, may I suggest joing the Tayto Justice League (61100-17119) to battle against the greatest footballing minds known to Man. 

As I'm in a generous spirit today, I'll show you who I have as my superstar team of superstars:

NB: For all those smart arses out there, the reason there are twelve players in the squad is because you are allowed one substitution.
