OK, a digression.
Fox is the President.
Calderón is the candidate of Fox's party.
López Obrador is the populist candidate who is head to head with Calderón.
Madrazo (third place) is the candidate of the former ruling party.
I am voting for Mercado, the Socialdemocrat candidate in 4th place.
There's another candidate, Campa, with 1% in the polls.
The US is indeed quivering.
The PAN, I know, is conservative.
Obrador is leftist/populist. What is the name of his party?
What is the PRI, then? Centrist?
Who do you think will win, fbaezer?
Darn, infrablue, I thought you were joining the game!
López Obrador is a member of PRD (Party of the Democratic Revolution) and runs for a coalition denominated Coalition for Everybody's Good.
The PRI is a typical Mexican monster. Ideologically left-of-center; practically right-of-center.
I think Brazil will win against Japan.

Hat-tricks from Chun-soo and Frei and I'll be back in the hunt!
So, it's Osso that's going to do the streak now?
I'm going to recharge my camera, in preparation for this.

You're right! That's exactly what you need.
No, no, no, my selected fellows did get some goals after all...

The final is between Patada Veloz and Pantalonesm, it seems.
Patada Veloz is hoping that Henry does not score.
A goal by Henry gives Pantalones the title.
A hat trick by Henry, though, pulls Lord Ellpus to the first place.
Imur needs seven goals by Frei and Chun-Soo to win.
Great work fbaezer!
Go Henry, score one for the kid!
Here's my five for the 2nd stage:
1. RAUL
2. van NISTLEROOY
3. SAVIOLA
4. KAKA
5. INZAGHI
