The World Cup 2010

[Dara]

Join our World Cup Fantasy Football League here:

Once you've registered, the league name is Fake Dog Films, and the password is "crackdown". Then you can set about putting your team together (there's even a button that selects one at random if you're not too bothered!). And as always, there'll be a Fake Dog T-shirt for the winner!

Just remember to untick all the usual boxes when you're registering so you don't get junk mail. And it asks for a lot of personal details so feel free to make it all up (well, maybe give your name so we know who you are). If you're looking for a fake address to put in, may I suggest 123 Fake Street?

So are you excited? Who are you rooting for?

I'm thinking New Zealand. Or maybe Ivory Coast as they essentially have the Irish flag, but backwards. And a much better chance!

[looseheadsteve]

Well North Korea are the clear favourites, well in North Korea anyway.

Have to root for the underdog so I'm going for New Zealand to have a go in their group.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing England do well. So I'm rooting for them as well.

[Gearoid]

I'll be rooting for England anyway, I already have my jersey with Lampard on the back!

[Alex Kidd]

I wouldn't mind if England did well but the fact they wouldn't shut up about it for the next 50 years means I will be lending my support elsewhere.

C'mon Uruguay!

[Gearoid]

I'm sure Uruguay still go on about 1930!

[Alex Kidd]

Of course they do, it's all they have. I bet their version of "Three Lions" is smashing too.

I think Uruguay only won in 1930 because they brought the football. Didn't they beat Laurel & Hardy in the first round? They must have because there were hardly any other entrants.

[Dara]

All these Irish people shouting for England? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I'm living in the U.K. technically, and I shall not be rooting for them! Go on N.Z.!

[looseheadsteve]

You're in Scotland. Shouting for England there is not recommended.

[Dara]

You're right there. I'm an Irish man in Scotland. There's no way I'm shouting for England! What's going on back home?

[Gearoid]

A lot of people seem to be shouting for England. It seems silly not to since we're all such big fans of their leagues. Though then again the majority of players in the Premiership aren't English!
