Might cope with the heat better than some but I suspect most of their best play abroad. Could surprise a few teams. (As long as they don't send the Aussie Rules team :) ).

Tunisia .....will be like watching Scotland without the expectation of a surprise win (Holland), unexpected thumping (Costa Rica, Peru etc etc )

Right. By my calculations there are 3 left. Numbers still available are:

2, 6 and 26

In that lot (in no particular order) are Morocco, Serbia, Canada

If we don't get up to 32, any that aren't picked that survive to the Round of 16 - I'll sort out allocation to some lucky losers from the group round.

Eleven+2 has gone, 22 has gone but if you want one with a 2 in it you can have 2, 12, 20, 24, 26, 28 or 29. :thumbup:
