...but there's something happening this Friday morning.

Yes the World Cup 2002 finally kicks off at 11:00am our time with the opening ceremony from Seoul followed by the first game, France v Senegal.

Now I know that we can't all get there but at least you can join in the fun along with Harriers-Online & Weekend Football.   By clicking on the button at the bottom of this page (or the one on the front page) you will be taken to the Weekend Football page where you can forecast the games in each round and accumulate points for yourself and maybe win a cash prize.

And it's all for free!

All you need do is register and you can then join in the fun along with everyone else.   Your name will be entered onto the Harriers-Online leaderboard and it will then be a race to see who finishes top.

If you do like to have a flutter you can compare the odds that leading bookies give you and then put your money with the one that gives you the best return.

It's all so easy so go on, join in.   Me, I'll be in Japan commenting for the worlds media and Harriers-Online.co.uk
