We're slowly gaining momentum like Mexico (2-0 win over Brazil) but not like Spain (last-minute 1-0 win over China at home with a full squad). We're up to 9 entries with more than 3 1/2 days to go and are on pace to surpass the 21 entries we had in our first HWCI World Cup pool in 1998 and the 23 we had in 2002. Topping 44 in 2006? Not likely, but maybe you all will surprise me.
So will we see a Spanish dynasty or will Greece win again. I read someone's tweet that France missed the European Championships for 24 years before winning in 1984 while Greece missed 24 years (5 tournaments) before winning in 2004. Which team's last European Championship appearance was 24 years ago? Ireland. Let's see how many pick them to win it all!
In the PDF fill-in form, Michael G. (FC Spermicidals) noted that he couldn't save... so if you only have Acrobat Reader, then you need to either do a print to PDF (e.g., CutePDF) or print and scan/photo and email. Sorry about that. Or you can just enter on-line which seems to be work reliably thus far.
HWCI's 44th overall pool! Our 4th EURO pool is here! Good luck!
