Group G has been labelled the “Group Of Death”
for this year’s tournament.

I believe both Group B and Group D are Powerful as well.

All of the groupings are intriguing and have
yielded some outstanding matches.

Most of the fixtures will be very difficult to predict.

My 2010 World Cup winner • Côte d’Ivoire
Despite their grouping with Brazil, Portugal
and a very good North Korea team, I believe
the Ivorians will prevail with the Mighty Didier Drogba.

Electric Football is a tabletop American Football game,
played on a vibrating metal field.

It was created in 1947 by Tudor Games.

Even though my players mostly ran in circles,
and ran out-of-bounds with a 100 inches of daylight -
I still really loved this game as kid.

It was kinda like the Subbuteo of American Football.

Believe it or not, The Electric Football League
is located in Highland Park, Illinois.
