With the World Cup kicking off in South Africa tomorrow, lots of people are in convulsive anticipation so if you read this blog, then you may be interested in pitting your football knowledge against others through the World Cup Fantasy Football site. I’ve set up a Nialler9 league and you can use this code to join it: 431141-100315. We’ve got 36 teams already. Should be fun. I may even be able to sort put a prize for it.
In the meantime, enjoy this edit of ‘Put Em Under Pressure’ – the finest World Cup song Ireland ever produced mixed with Justice’s ‘Water of Nazareth’ by SEBP’s Gavin Elsted.

Great Idea, I like it. Thanks for the invite.
Great idea, why didn’t I think of it. 😀 Joined. Prepare to have your ass handed to you. On a plate.
I’ve somehow managed to take the top spot after the last round- now the intense pressure not to ‘do an england’ and completely bottle it.
I’ve just sunk 17 places. I have to get that 9th spot at least!
It’s all fairly close, and it’s still early days yet…
