    Ah Jesus Christ Ger, I'll have to get hypnotised to forget I ever read that. That sounds like you are writing the guy off completely. He has scored 43 goals so far this season, tore Arsenal to shreds, tore Inter to shreds in November. He would benefit any team in the world.

    To say he needs to prove himself at the World Cup is totally incorrect. As I have already mentioned, he gets played out of position there, but mark this - if a games needs to be taken by the scruff, Messi is the man to do it.

    I dunno, I dont follow La Liga like yourself, but anytime I've seen him he hasnt amazed me. Arsenal had a very weak defence. I just think he's being a bit over-rated, but he's more than welcome to prove me wrong in the World Cup

    Tellin ya. Very young team tho, I was in school with a few of them. Kerry have a weaker team this year, I dont think they'll be winning much with half the team in oz.

    Who are people here shouting for in the World Cup? I'll be throwin a few bob on Spain anyway hopefully they can do it this year, they have a scandelous team going with them

    I'm going for Argentina. I echo gimmick's worry of Maradona not really knowing what he's doing.

    Anyway,

    Barca, los campeones de España!!!

    Many fans of Ronnie James Dio here? Despite being almost 70, fighting cancer and rumours he was on his last legs I'm shocked by his death for some reason. True legend and one of the all time great voices :(

    Anyone doing the McDonalds World Cup fantasy football game? I thought we could set up a Pro Wrestling private league if we could get a few people from the board.

    Got a link to this?

    Would be definitelty on for a league, make it more interesting.

    Anyone maing any bets for the WC/GAA championship?

    I think Luis Fabiano is great value at 12/1 for top scorer.

    Backing Brazil as well to win it, they look very very solid at the back and will always get goals.

    Can't see past Kerry in the footbll again, though 3/1 is no value.

    Might put a few bob on Galway to win Leinster, I have a feeling they might catch KK on the hop.

    Cool. You can go here to get yourself set up:

    http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/M/tac.mc

    Should only take you a few minutes. I've gone and set up a private league for the board. I'll PM you both the code for it. I might send a PM on to BH too as I think he's also playing the game.

    Anyone else who wants to join send me on a PM, but I'll only give it out to regular contributors to the forum. ;)

    thinking of doing similar?

    they are usuallly posted on a number of sites such as Dave's ESL Cafe, sometimes you will find them on only one site but i think the above is the one i intially saw my job on(might be wrong). TEFL.com is also one of the main ones iirc.

    Did you get a CELTA? its not as easy as it used to be to get a job without one (I've got one) so be warned. I would reccomend it to people although it wont be a holiday you will be working a hell of a lot.

    Ya fairly sure I'll do it next year. I dont have a CELTA, but hopefully I'll have my degree by then and most places only seem to require a western degree. I was lookings at Daves earlier on, the opportunities are unreal. Tell me, is there much hassle with the whole language barrier in taiwan?

    edit - and whats the weather like?
