Now, I'm not a football fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I am a geek and thus a fan of halfway clever computer related things. With that in mind, I thought I'd draw your attention to a random Excel spreadsheet that a colleague sent me. You put in the results of the games as they happen, and it keeps tabs on who goes where and so on. Simple, but effective. Some, all or none of you should appreciate it. Enjoy.
