Vazdul is right, Group B is horrible, no wonder Comoros is doing so well. However, 2 years ago i was sure i knew the names of every country on earth, including those tiny pacific islands, until i heard about Comoros for the first time in my life, not everyday you discover a country so i have a soft spot for that one

You are a bit rude for group B.
Mali is a great country, Tunisia too.
Côte d'Ivoire seems to have a great success among you .
And Cambodia, and Belgium.
And Burkina and Congo are great countries by their history.
And I like Togo .
Well, it makes at least 7 candidates for stage 2 before Comoros .

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

I've determined my favorites for Group B, and Comoros was not among them, but it was not too far behind, either. Here's Comoros' record so far:

Round 1: Win over Dominica
Round 2: Draw with Mali
Round 3: Win over Sao Tome
Round 4: Win over Macedonia
Round 5: Loss to Cambodia
Round 6: Loss to Tunisia
Round 7: Loss to Belgium
Round 8: Win over Burkina (I agree with the wtf on this one...)
Round 9: Win over Armenia
Round 10: Projected win over Romania

What a weak schedule! The only points I would deny Comoros (if it were entirely up to me) would be the win over Burkina and the draw with Mali. Anyway, that leaves Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Togo to finish off the "season," which leaves plenty of room for Comoros to take a last-minute nosedive in the standings.

I don't even know myself which are the next matches, because I haven't set them in advance (hence the time I spend here ).
That's less fine for the manager but it's better for the suspense, even for me.
And, as I've said in other survivors, I don't want to know rules or matches in advance, of course...

If you all want it, maybe I can give you both the last 2 rounds, even if we vote round by round.
