Group B interim report

Trinidad and Tobago were able to look down from the summit of Group B this morning after a convincing win over minnows Paraguay. Trinidad supremo [livejournal.com profile] jel_bugle faced criticism for his team selection but his choice of an experienced squad seems to have paid off and they top the table on goal difference. Paraguay may be disappointed with their performance but they are far from out of contention for a qualifying spot.

In the other group B clash, Sweden edged out England in a tight encounter, leaving England with a job to do in the remainder of the group stage. Pundits suggested that there is no great gap in quality between the England squad and their rivals, though, and a fightback should certainly not be beyond them.

All votes to be in by Monday night - keep them coming!

(The interim report is based on the first 10 or so votes - which constitute around 1/3 of the total if the last group is anything to go by)

... but how we played the game

even if iran falls at the first fence -- WHICH IT WON'T -- this cuptimism has led me to uncover the existence of IRANIAN [genre-name redacted as per FIPA requirements]!!

sadly tournament rules prohibit its wider dissemination quite yet but DARE YOU MISS THIS PLEASURE?

make yr CHOICE adventurous stranger
tactically VOTE and BIDE the danger
or WONDER till it drives you MAD
what would have happened if you HAD?

Speaking as a totally unbiased neutral, my prediction is that after another couple of weeks of these insane and obviously nonsensical ravings from the mad mullah in charge of the Iran team, we will all be supporting violent intervention in the Pop World Cup from America. "Yes Mr Bush, do bomb Hackney, and with extreme prejudice," we will all be saying.
