Congratulations, Kevin Mbabu is a fine player - I wish Newcastle had kept him!

Tonight we received the trophy; great great party in Bern.

Kevin Mbabu is one of the great young players in our team; unfortunately he will probably leave, as will others, like Roger Assalé, forward with 12 goals scored,

I know the final score of my Eurocup already... Jagger vs me: 7 - 0.. #factoflife ;D

Just a quick reminder that the World Cup starts in only 9 days and we've got our football tournament prediction game running again.

It's easy to play - just register and then make your predictions for each match. Correct score predictions gain points and we'll see who ends up the winner. Always a lot of fun so give it a go.

Is there a special group for IORR members? So that we can compare each others results?

I see now that the USA hasn't qualified this time. A pity I think. They always play a nice and offensive game. And it would be good for the sport if football caught on in the states.

Germany is not doing well in the preparation games. Maybe promising for other nations?

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Do you have to predict all the games (in the group stage) at once?

No, you can save your predictions for the first round and fill in the second round
(and further) later.

Stoneage - we have our own group. Just sign up and fill in the score predictions for the opening group games. Sit back, pour yourself a nice beer and wait for the tournament to start.

Thanks for the reminder. It is one of those things where you think, "I got all the time in the world", and then, before you know, you are too late.

Iceland looks to have a tough time getting out of their group this time....

Oh, and by the way, USA aren't there either.

If I had to bet, I think I'd go with Germany winning again. Then, Spain. France may be good. I also saw a prediction for Brazil to make the finals, so maybe they are back.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Same ol' powers though, Colombia probably has lots of talent, Egypt has Salah, so he seems like a good bloke, I wish him well.

what did russia ever do to get a bad reputation in recent years.

Let me explain you this with a link to one Russian sport site.
[www.sports.ru]

Is there a cost involved in signing up for this? Is it free? Can you win something except glory?

1. It's free
2. The glory and the right to brag and belittle the others until the next championship

Final Argentina-France...Winner Argentina

Shocker Germany.

Funny thing, some researchers used Machine Learning to predict the most probable outcome of the World cup:

Machine learning predicts World Cup winner - MIT Technology Review

For those who don't want to read full article, there I present the most probable course of the Cup after the group phase (according to them):


Tbh I didn't read their methodology and I would treat this thing as a curiosity.

Nevertheless, It will be fun to compare it to the actual course.

Use this link, mops, and register. Here's the link to our league.

Not exactly the best preparation for a major tournament.

Yeah, incredible..

That's a crazy move by Spain and is sure to affect team morale.

So great news everyone - we have 22 members playing this time - a new IORR record.

But there's still time to register and it's really easy and takes just a minute.
