What do you think? ;)

My announcement: I respect the lost for every player, but this is the one of disciplinary in every team.

Very good, thanks for posting that... now, could you try to make up a possible draw and see who will win it?:)

[Jennifer]

I think I read that Belgium would face USA, is the draw already done?
