World Cup Sweepstake

[Mansfield_Blade]

Is Ahmed Fathi the Egyptian right back, the same player who signed for the Blades for approx £700k in 2007ish? He scored (but in the wrong net!)

Yes

Did my sweepstake team not win then? How on earth did I miss those two goals?

Seriously though, well spotted Carpe - felix culpa!

Hey, I'm just grateful for you and Aya doing this. I hope it was taken in the same jocular manner as it was meant

And your poor cat. I've heard of a scapegoat, but never a scapecat...

This was indeed a genuine error CBB. I am 100% responsible and will declare my error later this morning to Not-a-Blade (who spent a lot of the weekend in hospital and seems to have broken her wrist) and Strict Lady (who I am told is in a very bad mood this morning!).

Group E will follow and then if you don't hear from me by 1.00pm can someone come and rescue me. Strict lady is not a woman to be crossed!

sorry to hear about Not-a-Blade (despite her affliction) and hope Strict Lady cheers up today - is she Egyptian?
think you are right about the updates SJH - let's wait and see who is still standing after the group stages (not me )

Certainly taken as it was meant Carpe - never entered my head it was anything other than.
