It's a fix!!! FIFA would be proud.
Just to prove it's not. Since 636Mick has gone walkabout, YOU can pick a random number (from what's left) for me. Can't very well pick my own. :lol:
You had a near miss, I was going to say 17 for you!! I got Cameroon, slim chance of not winning I reckon!!

LOL that's what I usually pick. That or 7, which had gone, or 27. Dunno why but they were always the first ones on a pools coupon for me. :D
