Ok, this is going to be the main thread for the 2006 WCQ prediction contest. Mods - if you can make this a sticky and a closed thread that would be great, thanks! I will post the scores of matches and have updates on the standings in this thread.
I'm trying to make this thread like the one for the CL so if someone can help me with that that would be great! Here is the link to the African Round 1 Leg 1 matches: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=1668573#post1668573

Hey sorry all, these past two weeks have been beyond busy for me and I haven't had a chance to post the upcoming matches. I will do so very soon and thanks for your patience.
Yes I am and hopefully FIFA will release the dates for those matches soon. I will have those and the upcoming African matches up hopefully by tomorrow.

Almost 900 are going to be played total, so we're just getting started! I will double check these scores and if you think your score is wrong let me know! Good luck to everyone in 2004! Also, even if you are not on this list you can get in at any time! I will post the upcoming matches in another thread.
Hey, desertfox2 (whatever happened to desertfox1?), buddy, ya know ya can't win your own contest, eh? So, if you are still on top in November 2005, the second placed gets the one week in New Jersey, and the third gets the two weeks in New Jersey, right? For the bronze medal position, i'll throw in an inaugural season Edmonton Aviator's, A-League or W-League, teeshirt, sent to the winner by mail! Look everybody jockey for thurd now, eh? For fourth place, I'm trying to get Blatter to send me an autographed copy of the Swiss Women's team's hotpantz. Keep posted on developments!
Well, I plan on winning it, but I'll let the second and third place players get the weeks in New Jersey ;-)...Plus I'm only up by 3 points and that's nothing, still over 800 matches to be played so it's anybody's game. Plus there will be six winners of the six regions too, not just overall. And I'll keep updating the standings!
