Cristian - I suppose it’s quite feasible. Perhaps the committee might reconsider extending it’s tentative schedule (which has been withheld in lieu of more sponsorships like Matt’s) such that the Groupings battle it out during the month of June with the actual playoff tournament occuring in the month of July. That would necessarily extend the final championship match past that phoney FIFA sideshow and allow true Bere Mondial fans to focus their excitement on our humble proceedings.

Plus it makes things more flexible for our ocazie driver by giving him more time to plot his course for far off destinations like amazing Alba Iulia and teriffic Targu Mures or possibly even exotic locales like crazy Cluj or bitchin’ Bucuresti.

For the rest of you - How ’bout it? Can you sling a beer in this direction? Things are heating up and I don’t mean just my throat!

(Anyone interested in making Romer!can judges aware of interest in organizing a venue in your local village should contact the officials to disrobe from shed your anonymity, so that calculations can begin regarding logistics required for your specific GPS coordinates.)

Mulţumesc frumos! I’ve forward that reconnaissance to the committee chairman. I’m sure it’ll lead to a major breakthrough in rectifying the past failures to decrypt the iconography of that wonderful data source.

Meanwhile, we’ll be thankful that there are so many crosses (now that we know what the heck they mean) and that the website appeared to not have been updated in a couple years, lest we end up in Group ZZZ and needing to dispose of one alcohol-sodden American corpse.
