Still nobody has got my trivia question.

Who is the only Irish League based player to have been a playing member in a World Cup Finals squad in the past 24 years?

Handy wee site for anyone looking for form guide with top goal scorer bet in mind

Sometimes form goes out the window with the top goal scorer, Salenko 1994 & Schillaci 1990 would be good examples

Brazil play North Korea & Italy play New Zealand one of there strikers could score 4/5 goals v them

Give us a hint was he a Northern Ireland player?

France beat Costa Rica 2-1. A few decent performances, including a debut clinker from Valbuena after good work by Diaby. Interesting to see if there'll be a high profile casualty - Gallas maybe?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Italy don't do hammerings. Get 2 and sit back.
How many had their top scorer in qualifying?? 5max

ONeill

Two goals for Van Persie tonight.

Spain v Holland would be a clinker. Excluding friendlies, 31 games v 17 games unbeaten I think. Maybe more.

Salenkos total a bit misleading as 4 or 5 were against a shit Cameroon team.

Yes that was my point, didn't he finished top scorer scoring most his goals v a crap team.. could happen again that's why i gave examples

Spain strikers have bigger mis matches in their group
hence Villa is a worthy favourite.
He has more of a chance of bagging a hatful in a game
than most.

Sometimes an easy group counts against strikers.

2 wins in 1st two games and they are rested for 3rd game (maybe against the minnows of the group)
