Welcome to McDonald's® / FIFA World Cup™ Fantasy - a free game that lets you select and manage the players of your choice at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™.

As well as being a fun activity to play with family, friends or work mates, the Official World Cup Fantasy Game gives you the chance to build the side of your dreams and test your tactical awareness against fans from all over the world. Like the real-life managers involved at Germany 2006, you too can experience the dilemma of having to make critical choices at all the right moments.

Once the roster squads are confirmed in next couple of weeks of countries competing, more online games will be announced.

This was is twinned with Yahoo, so everyone would need to register with Yahoo and get an ID with them to play. Too much hassle for some maybe.

This may also be of interest....

"Fantasy Premier League International, where you manage a team selected from Premier League players performing at the FIFA World Cup 2006, will launch on Monday, 15th May."

same as BUC suggestion above, I think.

Hi All,

Those who played fantasy premier league can use the same login name & p/w as B4. To join go to 'manage leagues' and enter this code: 144854-36848. Hope to see some of you there & good luck!!

Cheers, Dan.

With so few players left to choose from I think the winner will be the one that picks the right captain. So I'm not picking the obvious ones like Henry

Final standings:-

1 DYNAMO KEBAB Dan Fitzgerald 32 354
2 Ilson Town Steve Turner 32 347
3 WorldBlues Ricky Hawthorn 28 338
4 Hand of God Gab Barelli 24 337
5 Fuchs and Kuntz Nathan Fossey 24 337

7 Team With No Name Mark Creasey 28 327
8 Picasso Saints DAVE Dowson 24 284
9 Lardy Lichties Les Lithgo 6 199

Some poor performers at the bottom of the table there, although it looks like Les wrapped it a while ago.

Dave didn't do very well, and shockeroonie as the Commish who puts great effort into these Dream Team challenges, flopped into a miserable 7th spot in what was effectively and 8 person competition (with Les dropping out).

To be honest I forgot about this one, so I apologise for my lack of effort in this one... sorry!

I knew there was a reason for putting my team name in CAPITALS = CHAMPIONS...the 'KEBAB' was just too tasty once again!

Any how 'Fantasy Premier League 2006/2007' is open for business already...i'm sure STE ricky will be on the case to sort out the mini-league again in due course
