Nice write up Juror but I must disagree with one point you made about Maradona's making in-form choices.

If that was the case, why would he not pick Zanetti and Cambiasso? They were both in great form and helped lead their team to the Champions League. I loved Argentina as a pick a few months back but I have changed my mind. I think Maradona will be one of the reasons they don't win. I just do not have any faith in his coaching ability.

Or Riquelme, or calling in his son in law Kun Aguero. All for personal reasons. Nothing to do with on field.

Comes with the package.

Juror you should put your writeup on your front page.

I will be bugging some of you on Thursday night for some plays.

Nice write Juror

Much appreciated

 

[Blitty]

why isn't the czech republic playing?

 

[Tron]

They didn't qualify?


Jurur I just took Argentina, England and Italy (homer pick) in Futures.

All to win $500

The Czech's sucked bad the last couple of years. But you have Slovakia.

I'm taking England to finish the Group 3-0 or with 9 points, same thing.

Juror I think Argentina is already making excuses for when they do not win the World Cup
