Actually I only just voted, so the other 2 probably fancy me.

Project Statonerd I've decided to revisit my statistical side and I'm going to try and statistify Countdown a bit more.

Wicked, congratulations all. Can we do % of maxes? On letters and numbers separately? I think Kai did partial figures on this, he might feel like updating them. orly?

Free kick outside the box. He was tripped outside, he just fell over inside.

Nice idea. I second it.

Tom's is so good it looks completely real. Very much appreciated Matt.

So, how many of you guys who are so vigorously bashing it have actually played with this ball? Most of the criticism pre-tournament seemed to be about the erratic movement, but I haven't seen much of that at all. Don't forget a lot of the games are being played at altitude which will affect the dyn...

Well done to Oliver for finishing 3rd in division B at the Brighton and Hove Scrabble tournament on Sunday too.

How about a Seniors competition next year for the over 50's (that's age not ranking score)? It's a thought (I have no idea how many people here qualify). If we did it, though, it would probably be "prize for highest finisher" instead of a separate section. And a similar prize for under 25...

Does anybody fancy having a prediction competition? You get 1 point for correctly predicting one team's final score (so if it was South Korea 1 - 0 Brazil and you had predicted South Korea 3 - 0 Brazil, you'd get 1 points for correctly predicting Brazil's score), and 3 for correctly predicting both ...

Australia 5 - 6 Germany But it was not to be. The Germans remained unbribed, and hope to have put that nasty business with Austria in '82 behind them.
