Having lived in Canada for well over a year, and developed an affinty with this great country, i just hope you give us a sterner test than the scots did a while ago.

Still cant see Wales loosing though.

Hey, the Scots weren't laughing when we drew first blood on them. Nor were the Germans. And it must be said that our manager at the time was a little less likely to use his subs than... well, name an unlikely event. You see, they were good enough to call up, but they were terrible players. (What's the German word for "diplomacy"? What? They don't?)

As for Wales losing, that's a different story. I'm pretty sure you can have "no scorer" and "n/a" as options in the pool though. Perhaps Senor Mimglow can elucidate.

Btw, Theo, please check my earlier post for the edits to my picks (scorer and final score). Thanks!

Allez les Rouges,

I'll assume he was pushed [8D]

I treat every prediction independently from one another. You could say a match finishes 0-0, but select first scorers for each team. All it does is display the lack or courage in one's convictions ;). So it's up to Arthur to show us if he's really confident in a 2-0 Wales victory, or if he's hedging his bets.

Ok, after tonights excellent defensive performance by us against Norway, I am confidently adjusting my prediction as requested!:

CANADA...

First Scorer - n/a

Time of first canada goal - n/a

How Canada's first goal was scored (Header, volley, etc...) - n/a

Canada's first carded player - Bircham

WALES...

First Scorer - Earnie

Time of first goal - 18 mins

How Wales's first goal was scored (Header, volley, etc...) - Through-ball pass played by Koumas, finished sweetly by Earnie

Wales's first carded player - Changed to Delaney.

Final score - 2-0 Wales

Ok, why not.....

Wales

First scorer - Bellamy

Time of Goal - 19th minute

Method of Goal - Hand of God

No Welsh Cards

Canada

First scorer - Iain Hume

Time - 55th minute

Method of goal - Direct Free Kick from 30 yards out caused by Welsh player fouling De Guzman on the ball

First Canadian carded player - Watson (with Pozniak apparently not released by his club).

I was going to predict a Canadian victory, but the increased chances of Watson playing for Canada (due to Pozniak's club not releasing him after all) suggests that may be more difficult to obtain. Canada's overdue for a draw (haven't had one in well over 2 years) 2-2 final. If Yallop calls up Tam at the last minute to replace Pozniak (please let it be so!) then 2-1 victory for Canada. We have to be honest & suspect that Watson is likely to cost us at least one goal if he plays right back.

Don't want to copy marcl 19, but with no Giggs, I'll have to change the first Welsh scorer again! Bellamy it is. (Same time and still a strike)

There's a remote chance that Giggs may be back after his knock

in the Millwall FA Cup match.
