During the World Cup, I played one of the Fifa online 'games', the World Cup Predictor Challenge. There were no prizes but it was fun to see how well I could guess the winner, the scoreline, the number of corners, first scorer, etc. etc. As it turned out I finished a creditable 41,585th. Before you say "Well that's a load of bollocks", I should point out that there were nearly 500,000 players, so I actually finished in the top 10%. If I had remembered to complete every game I would have done better.

BTW, congratulations to Spain on getting to and winning their first World Cup, 1-0 against the Dutch. They are deservedly the best team in the world.
