FRIDAY SOCCER QUIZ - GAMEWEEK 2

Carroller16 · 2009-03-13 13:02:47

Think Xavi is doing this today. Currently the scores are 1. Xavi6 51 2. Zebra 38 3. eagle eye 35 4. CARROLLER 34 5. gustavo 32 6. redout 24 I think if we're doing a league system we could do it so that 1st gets 3 points, 2nd gets 2 and 3rd gets 1. Just suggestions
