The Golden Riviera Group World Cup Promotion got off to a great start

The response was much better than ever expected. We knew that the World Cup was big, but we did not expect this many people to take interest in the Promotion we designed!

Six Hundred people responded within the first hour! By Monday, the competition's mailbox was filled by another 4,000 entries. And after yeaterday's USA vs Chech Republic match, or total entries has gone to over 10,000!

I've made a couple of blog entries about what the promption is all about and if you don't know by now, go and see for yourself.


We have however had a few guys that tried to sneak in their 'predictions' after the game was played. Don't they know we can see when they sent the mail? We won't disqualify them or anything since this promotion is suppose to be fun, but cannot believe that people would cheat for an amount of $50!

Otherwise the promotion has been running smoothly. We launched the site just befor the opening ceremony and hence did not get any predictions in for that score. Not that anyone would have predicted that their would be six goals scored in the opening match of the World Cup! The unanticipated success made that I could not get round to blogging! I'll start doing it a bit more diligently.

I'm having fun with this world cup. Our article in our newsletter for this week is going to be about all the mad new ideas and products that surfaced with the start of the world cup. If you are not a member of our casino, this aricle will appear in the "Lifestyles of the rich" blog by Wednesday.

Soccer blog: Welcome Golden Riviera Casino Group Users

I would like to welcome all the Gloden Riviera Group Casinos players to these blogs. I'm Rockerfella and I maintain the eight Soccer world cup blogs for Golden Riviera Group.

This particular blog you are on, highlights all the news and action of Group E in the 2006 Soccer World Cup hosted by Germany. We have blogs on all the groups A-H (See links on the sidebar). We linked you through to this particular one, because the USA's soccer team will be competing in Group E. They are grouped in, what is to my opinion, the toughest group in the competition, since they will play Czech Republic, currently ranked as the second best team in the world, and former World Cup winners, Italy. The fourth team in the group is Ghana, one of Africa's top ranked teams. As you may or may not know, only two teams will go through to the next round, the super 16.

It is predicted that the USA has their strongest team in history, entered into this world cup. The team has got a great composition of experience and young talent. Coach Bruce Arena helped his team reach a world ranking as the 8th best team in the world. Most of the players in this team was part of the team that helped them reach the super 16 stage in the 2002 World Cup that was held in Japan/Korea.

Group E is going to bring forth some of the best soccer of the tournament and I invite you to join all the action of this group and all the others. Highlights include: England in group B, Brazil (the world's highest ranked team) in group F, Germany (the hosts) in group A and the other hotly contested group, group C, where Argentina and the Netherlands will be fighting for top honours.

The blogs will have daily updates as from June 9th, when the tournament officially starts. My colleages and I will give you comments on all the games, facts on players, host cities and venues and mostly, have fun commenting on how the employees of the casino fight among ourselves over who we believe will win!
