Fantasy Football World Cup Sticking
closely to the TFF domestic formula, TFF World Cup promise £50,000 for our
top-scoring manager, daily online updates, instant transfers, regular
online Super League updates and much more. Website fully operational from 4th
May. The WCFF
is a prediction league game based around the scores and scorers for the 2002
World Cup. It's free to enter and you can win cash and other prizes. Simply
predict the score and scorers of each match between 31st May and 30th June 2002
as follows: Group
Phase: Initially
you may predict the scores of all 48 group matches. Once the final squads have
been announced (ten days before the tournament starts) you will be able to
predict the scorers. Bonus points are awarded for correct result or score
predictions of any group game made before midnight on Thursday 30th May 2002.
You may review any of your group predictions up to one hour before each match
kicks off, but if you change your score prediction after midnight (BST) on
Thursday 30th May 2002 you will lose bonus points for any scoreline you change. Knockout
Phase: As and
when the knockout fixtures are decided you will also be able to predict the
score and scorers of these games. If for these matches you predict a draw after
90 minutes you will be asked to choose whether the game will be won in extra
time by a golden goal (and if so who scores it) or whether it will be won on
penalties (and if so the final score including penalties). You may review any of
your predictions up to one hour before each game kicks off. You can
also create a mini-league with your friends or office mates and play each other.
Prizes are £1,000 1st, £500 2nd and £250 3rd. SoccerCaffe
