I sense a transatlantic battle about to kick off over this! Y'see I would argue that this IS a FOOTBALL fantasy league! At least as far as us Brits are concerned. Soccer? No way! It's called football! LOL

Oooh, for two "clueless Americans" you've chosen some great players! OK, so what you have to do now is to register here fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/ (usual create a login name and password stuff). You then select your team - easy! Actually there are some restrictions to do with budget and positions, e.g. you haven't selected any defenders! All the information is on the Metro site. If you have any problems feel free to PM me. My brother's been giving me some serious tutorials in this lately so I think I kinda get it now! Finally, you join the Afro Gigolo League by entering this code 50093-8911 and wait for all the fun to begin on Friday... that's THIS week, it's so exciting!!

I'll fess up that I had some help. My neighbors are from France and Marsiel plays football (soccer) in a league here in Chicago. We were all sitting out by our pool today and they helped me put this together. He is the Executive Chef at 160 Blue, which is MIchael Jordan's restaurant, so he is sort of a celebrity in his own right. This place is very chic. Madonna has booked it for three nights when she is in town this summer. (Guess I better get busy with some Street Teaming over there)!!! ;D Question...were you just saying that we don't have any defenders on my team as an example....or do we really not have any defenders?

No, you REALLY don't have any defenders on your team, and trust me you'll need some! If you go onto Metro it all becomes clear because they've categorised all the players for you so you just pick a few from each box (forwards/midfielders/defenders). What I would do is to pick as many as you can from the list you posted earlier cos there are some real good uns in there then use the "automatic selection" button to fill in the rest. It's the simplest way! And if the automatic selection comes up with someone you don't want you can still swap him for someone else anyway, it just saves you going through the hassle of going through all the defenders... unless Marsiel is free to pop round again! Let me know how you get on.

That's still a great team! I see you dropped Beckham (there's not 1 English player on there! What's that about? )but you managed to include the 2 big Brazilians, Henry & Gallas. Nice one! Game on!

I want Beckham on my team, but it said I had spent too much and wouldn't let me. . Please don't take offense...none was intended. So, you think the team is pretty good? I totally guessed on a couple of them and wouldn't cave on others. My original choices put me 11.5 over the spending limit.

But I'm determined to learn now ;D Ames, I almost hate to say it...but I'm still totally lost with all of this!!! I just picked names randomly because the site wouldn't let me use all the players that I wanted to...so I substituted random names from Euro teams that I knew were pretty good, like Spain and Germany. Who knows...maybe we'll have beginners luck!!! ;D

I've got Lahm too! I also predicted 3-1 to Germany in the Sunday League game so I've got my fingers crossed that the score stays as it is for the next 25 mins...
